The article deals with the construction of the anti-vaccine conspiracy theories in a corpus of You-Tube comments on the compulsory measles vaccination in Germany between March and September 2019. Starting from the assumption that the anti-vaccine conspiracy theories can be seen as a form of vaccine scepticism or lack of trust, the article explores the linguistic aspects of this conspiracy theory using the methods of the topos analysis and discourse-analytical approach to trust. The analysis shows that the language of YouTube comments does not contain elements of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.
