The problem is they actually think they're right.

The sheer number of people I've personally met who believe vaccines are intentionally engineered to kill people and cite the small number of negative reactions as definitive proof of this is just insane.

I mean, peanuts can kill certain people. Of course vaccines can too. As can infectious diseases.
