The thing that really shocks me most is that after listening to these antivax conspiracy theorists talk amongst each other, it is quite clear that there are 1-2 people like Adam and Julz who are gradually radicalising the others.

There are a number of people who clearly are uncomfortable with what is being said. They start objecting but are spoken over and just inundated with crazier and crazier stories about cults and brainwashing and Illuminati.
And by not stopping the crazy talk they are acquiescing. They are condoning. They are signalling to others that this is OK. But it’s not. This is how you radicalise people. If you can stand it just listen for yourself. m.twitch.tv/melbourneprote…
@manjusrii and @PRGuy17 must be pretty battle hardened to listen to this stuff all day. I can’t do it. But seriously I think the public needs to hear just how crazy this talk is, and that this is rife amongst the protest community.
These protester organisers and sympathisers are not normal people who just have some doubts about vaccine safety or are a bit frustrated over lockdowns. They are full on hardcore conspiracists. By pretending they are just “fringe” we are failing to realise what they are.
