Unfortunately, even though many antivaxers might erase themselves during a pandemic, the ties to a representative genotype are so complicated that the behavior will not become a phenotype in the normal sense.
I think it’s a case of culturally-induced suicide, rather than maladaptive genes.

Cooperation has to be taught through positive and negative reinforcement.
Are you actually a parent, Simon?
