I got the impression that anti-vax was always a right-left thing, because you had hippie-dippie types who thought it was "unnatural", but you also had fundie Christian types who thought that medicine went against God.
It used to be, that's the crazy thing. The whole crunchy granola "I don't want to poison my kid" started out as a leftist principle. And to a certain extent, it sort of made sense.
But Republicans fed the conspiracy theory part and it blew up like wildfire.
It is equal parts fascinating and terrifying just how much the Republican party has fed the anti-vax people.
With such open mindedness the conspiracies can also sort of make sense to a certain extend.
What do you think doesn't make sense at all?
Just to be clear, children amd adults should be vaccinated.
