In a world where opinions on vaccines are as varied as the individuals holding them, one messaging app conversation has taken the internet by storm, blending humor with a touch of scientific irony. The viral image depicts a candid exchange between two people, diving into the topic of vaccine skepticism with an unexpected twist.

The conversation begins with Person 1 firmly stating, "I do not believe in the vaccine!" at 04:27 PM. The quick-witted response from Person 2, who identifies as a medic, is immediate: "Why? You do realize I'm a medic." This sets the stage for an enlightening and humorous dialogue.

Person 1 remains steadfast, declaring, "I do not trust it." The medic, undeterred, challenges this skepticism by listing a series of chemicals: E460 - Cellulose, E461 - Methyl cellulose, E462 - Ethyl cellulose, E464 - Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, E466 - Carboxymethyl cellulose, and E467 - Ethylhydroxyethylcellulose. These names, often feared due to their scientific complexity, prompt Person 1 to exclaim, "All of them! My body my choice!"

The punchline? Person 2 reveals, "These are all chemicals found in a banana."

This humorous yet educational exchange has resonated with many, as evidenced by the comments flooding the internet. One user humorously remarks, "I dunno man. Bananas be slightly radioactive and I want to eat 10,000 of them. Heard you'll die." Another points out, "It's astounding how many people became doctors during the pandemic."

Among the myriad of reactions, some highlight the irony and misconceptions surrounding scientific topics. Comments like "This guy's just a corporate shill for big banana!" and "The kind of person to be afraid of dihydrogen monoxide" showcase the humor and frustration intertwined in public discourse today.

This viral image not only entertains but also serves as a reminder of the importance of scientific literacy and the ease with which misinformation can spread. It's a snapshot of modern-day debates, wrapped in a banana peel of irony and wit.

You can't reason with stupid.

The microchips aren't in the vaccine. To ensure good distribution, they're in the needles. Simple solution is to always demand a used needle

It would be so ironic if she was actually eating the banana before this topic.
