      True, but there's a difference. Right now, in 2019, it isn't the left that is home to the loudest, most dangerous antivax voices. Other than RFK, Jr., the loudest and most influential antivax voices are on the right, so much so that the @GOP now panders to them. 1/https://twitter.com/green_cait/status/1094215493446258690 …

      Anti-vaccine sentiment is just as rife on the left as on the right. Speaking as a former anti-vax parent.

      Indeed, one can argue that the @GOP has become the preferred party of antivaxers. 2/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/10/25/the-republican-party-has-become-the-antivaccine-party/ …

      I've experienced the antivax tendencies of the @GOP in @MIGOP, specifically my local elections last year. 3/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/08/03/jeff-noble-kerry-bentivolio-host-antivax/ …

          Basically, antivaxers have successfully sold their antivax message as "parental rights," "health freedom," and being against government regulation, and conservatives have been drawn to that framing. 4/

          They come for the message of "freedom" and then get drawn into the conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/02/22/in-the-age-of-donald-trump-vaccine-policy-is-becoming-politicized-with-potentially-deadly-consequences/ …

          School vaccine mandates used to be about as bipartisan as anything in American politics could be. No more. It's a huge blow to public health. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/07/07/vaccine-policy-is-becoming-politicized/ …

          Whenever someone says that the left is antivax, I point out two things. First, antivax beliefs are equally prevalent among the left and the right. HOWEVER... 7/

          Only one party, @GOP, nominates candidates who are openly antivax and routinely promotes antivax policies designed to lower vaccine uptake rates. 8/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/11/06/vote-as-if-your-childrens-health-depends-on-it/ …

          This includes @realDonaldTrump, who has a long, sordid history of spewing antivax misinformation going back at least 12 years. 9/9https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/09/15/the-long-sordid-antivaccine-history-of-donald-trump/ …
