      Why are you surprised? I’ve only been preaching since about 2015 that the loudest, most influential antivax rhetoric is coming not from the left but the right.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/04/19/gop-has-become-antivaxer/ …

          I’ve even observed it up close and personal for myself in my own Congressional district.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/08/03/jeff-noble-kerry-bentivolio-host-antivax/ …

          Antivax dovetails nicely with some specific goals of the right. Small governments w limited coercive power, religious & indiv freedom, deregulation of the "health" industry, suspicion of regulatory bodies (FDA). Plus fear & disgust (of vax/illness) inspire people to vote right.

          I hear a LOT of antivax rhetoric coming from the left. In general, the people on the right don't trust government, and the people on the left don't trust pharma.

          That is the main difference between right and left wing antivaxers. Think of it this way, though. Antivaxxers have so successfully coopted conservative messages of parental rights and anti-regulation that in many states @GOP candidates have to pander to them in the primaries.

          It plays so well to both sides, on the left Big Pharma is forcing the evil injections on you, on the right Big Government is forcing them on you. Contrast with climate change, where the narrative of it being a government stitch up works way better than it being corporations.
