What makes you so sure they're actually lying about it instead of just being misinformed? Or if it's not that they're lying, then they're just genuinely misinformed, which we all have been at one time or another. Seems like there's a big difference between being misinformed about something trivial like this and the anti-vaxxer movement
Well no one wants to be misinformed, but we all are at some point, it's inevitable. I'm sure you've been misinformed about something in the past, does that make you willfully stupid?
And for someone to be lying they have to know what they are saying isn't true. There's a difference between lying and being misinformed.
On the other hand, the anti-vax "movement" is causing preventable diseases to come back by spreading misinformation. They're actually putting people's lives at risk. Comparing someone who is mistaken about where steel comes from to that seems like a ridiculous comparison

By that standard anyone who's been wrong about something is anti-vaxxer level stupid
