      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 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.

      This is especially true in Texas, where, backed by dark money from Koch-associated sources, Texans for Vaccine Choice has become very influential. They even successfully primaried a pro-vaccine Republican.

      In Ohio, @ohiogop is riddled with antivaxxers, and antivaxxers openly brag about how many lawmakers are sympathetic to their views.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/11/13/ohio-statehouse-antivaccine/ …

          Thanks to the success of antivaxxers coopting conservative/libertarian messaging, vaccine mandates are becoming increasingly politicized. More and more @GOP opposes tightening mandates, leaving @TheDemocrats to defend them.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/02/22/in-the-age-of-donald-trump-vaccine-policy-is-becoming-politicized-with-potentially-deadly-consequences/ …

          I trace alignment to #SB277 in 2015. A great law, and a great start, but it really mobilized the antivaccine movement and linked them with conservatives more than ever. Antivaxxers portrayed the law as government overreach, and too many conservatives agreed.
