Those who don't often get quite offended when their "ideas" are not taken seriously. Anti-vaxxers are a good example. 100% pseudo-science and nonsense based, but they behave as if their ideas are backed by extremely strong science. It's an open society and that's a good and bad thing.I wouldn’t put anti-vaxxers in the hypothesis category. Anti vaxxers belong with flat earthers. They border more on the cult-ish, because what they’re saying contradicts current known facts.
