Yep. That sign certainly does a great job of summing up the critical thinking capability of this group.

I work in a surgical setting. Was prepping a patient for surgery and asked the standard COVID questions. The patient informed me that he had had COVID and pneumonia and was hospitalized for three weeks. I asked if he had since been vaccinated and his response was "we're people of God. We believe God will protect and heal us". He said this while on the table awaiting surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. After spending three weeks letting science save his life. You can't reason with people who just make shit up and routinely contradict themselves.
