Hard to believe people this ignorant about life threatening diseases are living in America! Sounds more like people from a 2nd or 3rd world country! This tells me that we might need to take a hard look at our basic educational so called leaders!
Anti-vaxxers. Flat earthers. Trumpies. The “willful” part of willful ignorance ends at Trumpies; they honestly don’t know any better and the ones who have an inkling of knowing better just don’t give a damn.
Can we please set aside the idea that what we’re seeing is any version of “ignorance”. To follow the biological comparison, ignorance is a missing eye. What we’re seeing is a malignant tumor bulging out of the eye socket, killing the normal cells.
I agree with 4 of the 6 pictures. HIV is now relegated to a chronic disease essentially. One pill a day with most of the new regimens, and if the viral load is undetectable the disease is not transmittable. Considering the number of people dying 30 years ago within a year of diagnosis this is staggering.
As for the anti vaxxers sketch, that guy reminds me of Bubba J who is a character from Jeff Dunham’s act.
I’ve got a problem with making anti-vaxxers look like ignorant MAGAboys.
Much of the problem comes from celebreties and other people who should know better. The Willfully Ignorant are just as likely to be educated and wealthy as any other group.
The anti-vaxxers that I know look perfectly normal. Act almost perfectly normal. And endanger everybody who depends on herd immunity. They need to get a license…

What do the anti-vaxxers think about eating meat full of antibiotics that are creating “super bugs”? Or do they refuse antibiotics too?

Hard to believe they don’t wear red MAGA caps that cost 39 cents to produce and were sold to them for $35.00 – a real bargain.

“Willful ignorance” is a load-bearing beam in the Republican platform.
