    At one of his rallies, Trump praised vaccines and was booed. We need to understand that anti-vaxxing isn't coming top-down from Fox/GOP but is an organic outgrowth of a big part of the base.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1418373392814723074 …

        To judge by the polling, GOP base is divided roughly in half on vaccines. Which explains Fox flip flops trying to please both sides. The immediate need is to reach the vaccine hesitant who are reachable (many are). Long term, this is a wedge issue:https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/is-the-right-splintering-on-anti?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        There's a feedback loop going there. Fox absolutely convinced people to not get vaccinated, even if they were initially playing to the anti-vax people already watching. The 'will you get vaccinated' numbers tanked on the right after Fox went full anti-vax.

        Did Mary Shelley write a story about that sort of thing?
