listening to other people’s points of view is how society works, especially as a politician who is supposed to be working for the good of the people. You don’t have to agree, but you should listen & make informed opinions, not stick your fingers in your ears saying la la la la
Yeah? You follow holocaust deniers? Climate denialists? Race science bigots and eugenecists? Quit trying to make out like antivaxxer is just another POV of decent people. It’s not. It’s infectious disease advocacy. It’s irresponsible. And it’s wrong.
I have lists of such cranks, so that I can peruse their Tweets looking for blogging material, but in general I do not follow them, with rare exceptions.
