      We even saw this dynamic in the @GOP presidential primaries in 2016. @ChrisChristie, @realDonaldTrump, @RandPaul, and @SecretaryCarson all pandered to antivaxers, even during the debates. 13/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/donald-trump-and-the-dangerous-vaccine-politics-of-the-2016-presidential-race/ …

      Of course, Rand Paul didn't just pander. He really is an antivaxer. 14/

      In any event, this alignment led to the @GOP becoming the only one of the two major parties where antivaxers now feel at home. 14/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/04/19/gop-has-become-antivaxer/ …

      Sure, there are left wing antivaxers; e.g., @marwilliamson, @RobertKennedyJr, @DrJillStein, @RobSchneider. However, @TheDemocrats treat them as fringe, as they should. Dems don't have to pander to antivaxers to win nominations to run for their party. 15/

      Worse, the conflation of freedom and parental rights with antivax views has led enough in the @GOP base to become receptive to antivax pseudoscience and conspiracy theories that they support antivaxers. 16/

      All of this is why it should come as no surprise to @madrid_mike or anyone else that @CAGOP opposed #SB276 and @SB714. 17/

      I can’t help but take note of an off-the-cuff remark by Rep. Noble in the Q&A after the aforementioned antivax confab in my district last year in which he mentioned that the Republicans on the Health Policy Committee are the only ones receptive to vaccine choice initiatives. 18/

      Rep. Noble also complained that @MichiganDems "won’t even consider" bills loosening vaccine mandates and want to “shove vaccines down your throat (or arm).” 19/

      Again, the @GOP has become sympathetic to antivaccine arguments and pseudoscience, thanks to the successful conflation of resistance to vaccine mandates with freedom and parental rights. 20/
