Back in the day, a job counselor asked me what my dream job was. I told him I wanted to be a marijuana tester for the federal government. When he stopped laughing, I had to explain to him that I wasn’t joking.
20+ years ago and doing basic science is a scornful punchline. Fast forward to the present and we’ve got a whole population of people who can’t understand enough basic science to get how vaccination works. We reap what we sow.
Responding directly to a comment you believe is wrong gives that comment air to rise to the top and become the Featured Comment, which means even more people will read it.
Instead, flag comments that are lies, not tethered to reality, or offensive, and comment using the “Leave a comment here…” box at the end of all comments.
Alternatively, you could comment under a comment that proves the troll wrong, which will help correct information rise to the top.
Remember, almost all comments that make you angry are either trolls trying to spread their lies, or they are just the postings of small-minded individuals who take pleasure in “stirring things up”, no matter the cost to others.

Being a Government contractor is a pretty good gig. I would like to get the job of monitoring the Air Pollution in Hawaii. The big island to be exact.

He could be a cat food taster for Purina, since he’s already an expert. Such jobs did exist, not sure if they still do

Counting sea otters is a great job, but don’t get too close. They have really bad breath.

Thera re a lot of people counting animals to check on whether or not they’re becoming extinct,so Elwood may not be too far off the mark.
My experience with otters is confined to the Coney Island Aquarium.
Elwood should beg off grizzly bear surveys.

That’s not nearly as easy as it sounds, Elmont. Trust me I know from personal experience.
