- Anti-mask
- General anti-science
- COVID-19 as a conspiracy/fake issue
- Anti-government (in general)
- Racist
- Homophobic/Transphobic

These are also people who say things like "people just want to be victims" or liberally use the word "sheep." They're all the same kind of person. This is, of course, not true of the many mild mannered people who might be vaccine hesitant or lazy but still recognize COVID as an issue in general. But as I said before, the people on display in this thread... it's not science to them, it's politics, and you can pretty confidently track their politics to one type.
Politics is culture / culture is politics.

Political parties have found out the secret to getting people to vote was to make the other sides' stance an attack on their culture - in all manners of life.

It honestly works to get people to vote, but the politicians were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnt stop to think if they should!
