    I forget how this can affect immune compromised. Do you think that’s the point? A slow but deliberate shift to regulate the most vulnerable out of life? No, no one is that evil? Right?

          My impression is that it was pretty organic. There’s been a large minority of antivaxers for a long time. They used to be more liberal coded, like hippie-dippie, new age, “all natural” kind of stuff. Then Covid threatened Trump’s re-election in 2020, and the right wing became reflexively contrarian against any attempt to mitigate it. And here we are, with most conservatives being antivax to one degree or another.

            theres been big anti-vaccinw crowd on the right forever, mostly people in cults. it’s just spread to the regular stupids via osmosis from the religious stupids

            stupidity is a virus that has to be actively suppressed lest it spread

              Also stupid attracts stupid. The MAGA movement and Qanon stole all of the Democrats’ raw milk-drinking anti-GMO types. That’s part of how Trump put together a winning coalition. A confederacy of dunces.
