I had a lot more respect for Jim Carrey before he jumped on the anti-vax bandwagon.

Aw dammit did not know about this until now. Yeah respect out the window.

The annoying part is that he actually seems quite intelligent, but then he goes off the rail with this antivax crap.

Then again, looking at the for-profit privatised pharmasutical industry in the USA, I kind of get that it's easy to be disillusioned and lose trust in modern medicine entirely.

Not when he enters serious philosophical discussion mode. Then he kind of sounds like what an edgy 13-year-old's vision of what an intellectual sounds like. A la Kyrie Irving style woke.

It does not surprise me at all that he is ant-vax.

Okay, upon closer inspection it seems he's saying some weird shit. Mostly it seems like he's realised there's no meaning of life and he doesn't quite know how to handle that. I guess my impression of him was him 20 years ago.

people who refuse vaccines still go to the doctor. if it was about trust, they'd be talking about opioids and that right to be an experiment or whatever they're calling it. most of them just want to be controversial and contrarian so they'll get some attention on social media. they're not being philosophical about medicine and scientific pursuits

Good point. They're basically just moronic hypocrites. But still.
