Despite his attempts to change his behavior in conflict situations, Linus Torvalds did not restrain himself and responded quite harshly to the obscurantism of an anti-vaccinationist who attempted to invoke conspiracy theories and arguments that do not correspond to scientific understanding when discussing COVID-19 vaccination in the context of the upcoming kernel developers conference. Linux (It was initially decided to hold the conference online, as was the case last year, but the possibility of revising this decision was considered if the proportion of the vaccinated population increased).
Linus "politely" asked the commentator to keep his opinions to himself ("SHUT THE HELL UP"), not to mislead people and not to quote pseudoscientific nonsense. According to Linus, attempts to broadcast "idiotic lies" about vaccinations ("idiotic lies") only show the participant's lack of education or a tendency to take the word of unsubstantiated misinformation from charlatans who themselves do not know what they are talking about. In order not to be unfounded, Linus showed in sufficient detail what is the typical misconception of those who believe that an mRNA-based vaccine can change human DNA.
