After my thoughtful and engaging questions they sent me a pm. Obv anti vax, but not sure they were just trolling. I find it interesting to talk to people who (genuinely) have these views and work out how they have come to them.
It could become a problem long term if the anti covid-vax spills over to MMR, polio, smallpox etc

I'm in a similar boat, to be fair, I had them down as a troll given that it was a brand new account on a relatively niche forum, and only talked about something that had nothing to do with that niche. Hence being interested in why they signed up. Given the lack of answer I figured my assumption that they were a troll was right. Obviously I could be wrong in that assumption, but nothing that I've seen gives any weight to that option.
I agree that it's useful to engage with people like this to get an understanding of how they come to hold their views though.

I never got an answer from them myself, but can you think of a valid reason someone would become a member of this London-based cycling forum and post on nothing but the covid thread?
