      If the opposition isn't antivax, why were antivax leader @delbigtree and a number of prominent antivax activists from NY and elsewhere around the country there on Thursday. Why will they be there today? No, the opposition is antivax af.https://twitter.com/BillSpadea/status/1206552705449316352 …

      This bill is not about public health. The opposition isn’t anti-vax. It’s about stopping government from further eroding parental rights. Enough. Hope @declanoscanlon votes right today. We’ll be posting all votes to hold Trenton pols accountable. https://twitter.com/JohnCon17115829/status/1206550090451685377 …

      So it seems "Parental rights" the new (well, not new, but now focused) "1st defense" activists use? Perhaps since their many vax-related arguments fall flat w/ sci & "anti-vax" has stigma, they're going w/ this appeal to virtue, even if it easily fails on ethical/legal grounds.

      It’s definitely not new, but it’s a message that antivaxxers found to be effective appealing to those of a conservative/libertarian bent during the debate over SB 277 in 2015.

      Replying to @gorskon @RMCarpiano and

      It’s a gateway message. Conservatives are susceptible to appeals to parental rights as a reason to oppose eliminating nonmedical exemptions to school vaccine mandates and then start listening to and being influenced by the antivax misinformation that goes along with that appeal.

      Antivaxxers’ appeals to “parental rights” and rants against “government overreach” have, unfortunately, been very successful, which is why the loudest antivax voices these days are overwhelmingly right wing.

          Indeed, so successful has this messaging been that appeals to “parental rights” and “health freedom” are now dog whistles for the antivaccine movement.

          If people who desire vaccine safety and manufacturer liability for vaccine injury tend to be right wing, it's probably more so because many leftists tend to want a nanny state and would really prefer not to think.

          I am a very liberal Democrat and I have 2 vaccine injured children and 4 vaccine injured grandchildren and I am horrified that I am lumped in with right wingers. I am for informed consent, as the law law says, and Pro-Choice, all the way. This is not “one sized fits all”!
