Refusing to give lies the respect they don’t deserve is not “groupthink”. And I have no problem engaging with people of a different viewpoint; but I do get cranky when interacting with people who are, or appear to be, promoting pro-virus positions. The idea that it is inappropriate to enquire about vaccination status clearly falls in this category.
The Earth is round; the Sun is bright; Covid is dangerous; and the vaccines are safe and effective. Anybody who says otherwise on any of these points is arguing in bad faith and will get no respect from me.
(I was going to say “lying” instead of “arguing in bad faith” but it actually is technically possible for someone to studiously avoid learning the truth and avoid saying something they know to be false)
