      That's the reason why I've come to the conclusion that, in 2018, the Republican Party has become the antivaccine party.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/10/25/the-republican-party-has-become-the-antivaccine-party …

      My wife went to Waldorf in Detroit in the early-mid 70s. I always thought it was an arts based school not an evangelical leaning school. Don’t dispute the GOP conclusion but I think most of these parents in this school would be more left leaning.

      As I said in the post, antivax is the pseudoscience that spans all political ideologies. There are probably about the same number of antivaxers who are left wing as right. However, now, in 2018, the loudest and most politically influential antivaxers are aligned with the right.

      The reason for this is simple. Antivaxers have successfully conflated opposition to school vaccine mandates with "freedom," "parental rights," etc., thus drawing right wing support. This is particularly true in Texas, where Republicans who are too pro-vaccine have been primaried.

      Antivaxers have also drawn in the anti-abortion movement with their claims that "fetal parts" and "fetal DNA" from aborted babies are in vaccines.

          Oh, I completely agree with this assessment. Evangelicals have also become very anti-GMO which used to be more left leaning.

          What strikes me most is that we have seemingly wealthy and educated people making common cause with people who plead from ignorance. Both groups are challenging the very foundations of scientific understanding, whether they wish to acknowledge that or not.
