For me, this is an excellent demonstration of "anecdotes aren't data". In my personal experience, most antivax people I talk to (in person) seem to be on the left end of the political spectrum, not alt-right. But that doesn't reflect the greater trend.

Actual surveys show that antivax views exist at roughly the same prevalence on the left and right. However, today, in 2019, the loudest and most influential antivax voices are nearly all right wing. 'Twasn't always thus, but it is now.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/04/19/gop-has-become-antivaxer/ …

Strangely the data suggests that well off liberals are the most likely to be antivax.

It absolutely does not. That is a myth. The best research on this is by Kahan at Yale, see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2386034 … specifically figure 11.pic.twitter.com/aTwNBAvlvJ
