Today, in 2019, nearly all the loudest, most influential, and dangerous antivax voices are on the right. You have to search hard to find for influential lefty antivaxers.
@RobertKennedyJr is one. It goes way downhill after that (e.g.,@RobSchneider). 2/1 reply 4 retweets 8 likesShow this thread -
Indeed, it is not inaccurate to conclude that the
@GOP has become the antivax party. At the very least its candidates feel obligated to pander to antivaxers in a way that@TheDemocrats most definitely do not. 3/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/10/25/the-republican-party-has-become-the-antivaccine-party …2 replies 2 retweets 8 likesShow this thread -
I have direct experience of this. Until last year's election, my state senator and representative, both
@MIGOP, were antivax. They both regularly sponsored legislation to make measles great again in Michigan. 4/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/make-measles-great-again-a-case-study-of-the-politicization-of-school-vaccine-requirements-in-michigan …1 reply 1 retweet 5 likesShow this thread -

A year ago,
@pjcolbeck also wrote a letter to@DetNewsOpinion complaining about a pro-vaccine editorial. In his letter, he laid down antivax tropes aplenty. 7/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/make-measles-great-again-a-case-study-of-the-politicization-of-school-vaccine-requirements-in-michigan/ …2 replies 1 retweet 6 likesShow this thread
