I'd say to him with a straight face that polio never existed, it was just a big hoax. Why, I don't know a single person who has it!



That might just make things worse - he may start believing Polio never existed. Big Pharma and whatnot.


> Why, I don't know a single person who has it!

Yeah ... he had it! In his glory days he would talk proudly about Jonas Salk but after decades of watching the Two Minutes Hate he may not be such a big fan anymore.


> Yeah ... he had it!

I don't believe him. You can tell him a person on the internet is 100% certain he is a big pharma paid shill crisis actor.


Might be safer to just let this slide, not talk about ozone/climate and try to gently steer him away from antivax, qanon stuff etc. Can be nigh on impossible to bring anyone back from that
