Using the Internet all these years has left me jaded to the point where there is little I see that makes me laugh out loud. This, on the other hand, left me laughing - thanks!!
I heard a story about a new resident trying to treat the child of one of these Anti-vax conspiracy theorists. Frustrated with dealing with this fool, he consults one of the regular docs. The older Doctor listens for a minute, says "Follow me".
They go together to see the patient and Mom, the old Doc listens attentively to the rambling theories, and then thoughtfully asks the Mom:
"Did you ever wonder if this whole anti-vaccination scare wasn't just something the Chinese were putting out in Western societies to weaken us for the inevitable biological attack that they're planning?"
After a few minutes cogitating over this new conspiracy theory, Mom insisted that Child be vaccinated immediately.
At last, a happy ending to one of these stories.

School has changed so much since I was a kid. Back then they just showed us old Army VD films and told us we'd go blind.

Yes, people have become that stupid.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
