I have two theories.
A bunch of these people are scared of needles and are looking for any excuse not to get a needle. They don't want to feel alone so they spread lies so others don't get it either.
They want people die and get off on that.
Some are really that irrevocably convinced that vaccines are the harmful thing. They don't know how to question things properly and they end up following whatever lead they got hooked to. It's a failure of modern education and society to fail to question things correctly. Questioning without logic or reason or being willing to accept you are wrong is unproductive at finding truth. However it's a potent way towards confirmation bias.
They also might just not understand the answer. Like the "risk" they claim is a possibility, the side-effects are real. But the part they never seem to bring up is that the possibility of those severe side-effects is generally less than 1 in 10 000. Instead they talk about it like it's a near-guaranteed outcome.
Yeah there is definitely that side of it too. If they only understood the amount of risk they take on a daily basis. It's incomparable.
I think its mostly snake oil sellers and their radicalized victims. The flatmate of my girlfriend was an anti vaccers. She bought some extract from local plants for a 100 € because the guy told her it would soak up the vaccine from the body when there will be mandatory vaccinations.
Of course there were no mandatory vaccinations, having some hobo made tincture working against an mRNA vaccine is clearly ridicilous and she could have collected these plants in the next park and made the extract with some high proof alcohol for less than 5€.
One of the leaders of the covid conspiracy movement in Germany fled to Tansanie having defrauded his followers of more than 10.000.000 €
If you look into conspiracy products it is insane. Some wooden pole with some Glass balls in it? Yeah thats some energy protector, only 6.000 €
You left out the troll farms run by the enemies of Western liberal democracy.
And if we trace the source of these conspiracy theory lunatics/scammers, it all comes back to social media. Arguably, that's a worse disease than smallpox or covid.
