This doctor patiently trying to explain the science to anti-vaxxers is a terrifying glimpse of where the US is right now

We’ve featured no end of anti-vaxxers being called out on these pages, peaking a few years back for reasons which will be obvious.

With RFK Jr put in charge of health by Donald Trump, it’s gone right back to the top of the agenda in the US, and it’s with this in mind that we feature this clip of a doctor patiently – oh so patiently – trying to explain medicine to this particular anti-vaxxer.

It’s YouTuber Doctor Mike – he really is a doctor – and it’s a terrifying 11-second glimpse into where the US is right now.

The clip was just one exchange from a debate that lasted a full hour and a half and it wasn’t only moment that went viral.

And here are just a few of the many comments it promoted.

Dr Mike’s patience was impressive but you could see him losing the will to live with every interaction. Literally, every argument, bar maybe one dude, was “my friend had this experience or my baby didn’t get the vaccine and they aren’t dead yet”.

Instead of this format where dumb people and opinions gets over-represented we should have a jubilee video where 20 climate scientists bully a climate change denier until they cry. https://t.co/LOGeFKrVAS

There is a point in every video where the person we know to be on the correct side of the debates is dead behind the eyes after all the shit they’ve heard. https://t.co/RbIqOLLEc5

This is what America is. Knowing absolutely fuck all about a topic but feeling so confident that you’ll debate a medical doctor. https://t.co/Gzad5FNeQC
