My step brother: has always been a conspiracy theorist, I genuinely think he believes in a lot of them so he can act like he's smarter than other people because he struggled in school and generally has a superiority complex. Before he was introduced to the antivaxx movement he believed in chemtrails, that the gov sprays something on the trees in California to cause wildfires, and that the fluoride in the water is to keep the people sick. He got worse after being introduced to his wife. Falls for all of the "look this soda can clean a toilet so it's bad for you" posts.

Step brother's wife: her son is autistic and believes getting vaccinated is the cause. She also refuses to use microwaves because she thinks they cause cancer, she gives herself some IVs of something that are definitely not regulated, and has a huge superiority complex like my step brother. They're both also really against medication and keeps trying to get my mentally ill mother off her medication because they don't have to deal with consequences of her not being medicated.

My bf's brother: has a huge distrust of the government because he is Black and Muslim, was unfairly put in jail for months because he's Black, and had a bad experience with the FBI because he's Muslim. He is now into Qanon and thinks the covid in general is a hoax and vaccines have trackers in them.

My bf's mom: doesn't trust the government as Black and Muslim woman, she is a pretty strict Muslim and believes that covid is fake and even if it isn't she will be protected from it. In general she tries to avoid putting things other than food and water in her body, like she won't drink coffee because of caffeine. She isn't really against medications as her daughter takes anxiety medication.

My mother: has been influenced over the years by my step brother and his wife who know she has a learning disability/is really gullible. She became an antivaxxer a few years ago so all her kids did get their shots. One of her cousin's son was given the wrong dosage of some shot when he was a baby and is now mentally and physically disabled, they did sue the hospital and won't say how much they got but they have an elevator in their house (their son struggles with walking and his wheelchair is difficult to get up and down stairs) so it was a lot. She has been medicated for mental illness for most of her life at this point but still struggles with symptoms so she doesn't trust pharmaceutical companies. She's also really conservative, easy to get riled up, and Christian so she can be a bigot so listening to foxnews and televangicals has had a terrible effect on her. She thinks the vaccine was made to kill off the elderly, is the mark of the beast, and lowkey that it can be transferred from an vaccinated person to an unvaccinated person. She mostly only cares about herself so she doesn't care about herd immunity.

My brother: thinks he's smarter than everyone because my mom hyped him up his entire life and he loves Joe Rogan. For the most part just doesn't want the inconvenience of not doing what ever he wants when he wants to and thinks he'll be fine now that he's sick.
