weren’t they the country that like got really into anti-vax shit before it was cool and brought back measles?

I have some extended family from Switzerland. like somebody I am barely related to married a swiss guy and lived in Switzerland for several decades.

they are batshit. they moved to one of the shittiest & reactionary states in the US after retiring and the guy claims to have an allergy to batteries, wifi and DC current. like he can’t/won’t ride in an electric vehicle or hybrid.

I don’t know that they were antivax explicitly, but before there was a vaccine they espoused the whole ‘contract it and develop immunity’ idiocy

So not too functionally different

edit: mixed up Sweden and Switzerland, see rest of chain below

he’s fine with AC current though? DC is fine as long as its reversing polarity at several thousand hertz?

I honestly have not drilled down into it with him. I live several states away. we aren’t close relations. when I stay with my parents for like holidays in the same state, he doesn’t come over for stuff because of his “allergy”. he won’t venture into their house (wifi). they exchange stuff in the driveway and visit briefly then.

the whole protocol is absurd and I don’t participate. I would not keep a straight face.

no clue if they’ve gotten the covid jab, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re on the 5G train.

he can’t/won’t ride in an electric vehicle or hybrid.

But he probably has no problem riding in a gasoline car running on 30000 V electricity.
