Um, no. Antivax is the quackery that spans the entire political spectrum. Indeed, antivax views are roughly equally prevalent on the left and on the right. Indeed, today, the loudest, most dangerous antivax voices come from the right, not the left.

Of course, right-wingers can double their fun because anti-vax goes with anti-gov. But I live in a left-wing dominant area, so the few conservatives here tend to be the voices of reason, notably on the vax issue.

I appreciate your point, but attributing “loudest, most dangerous” to the “right” sounds arguable. For example, Alex Jones, I’d argue, is more a libertarian than a conservative. Libertarianism spans right and left, and they share strong measures on anti-authoritarian sentiment.

Nuanced understanding of the ‘intersectionality’ between conservatives and libertarians (and leftists) is generally not of interest inside intellectual left dominant discourse & social science.
