      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.

      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.

      Some of the calls to action expressly tell them not to talk about vaccines risks but just about parental rights.

      I think it's becoming more partisan, and that's concerning. It shouldn't be. Preventing disease used to be - and should be - someone everyone can get behind.

      That's definitely my assessment too. I don't think Pew, others have enough data pts to see this. One way to assess this wld be to see votes on state vaccination legislation. Most recent ones seem to all be along party lines, but was it this way with legislation say 10 years ago?

      That's a good - and empirically testable - question.

      I also like to remind people that there's long been a strain of antivax/"health freedom" in the @GOP. Anyone remember Dan Burton? He was antivax af through the 1990s and 2000s until his retirement in 2012, and he used his position to attack @CDCgov.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2012/11/23/representative-dan-burtons-last-antivaccine-hurrah-is-scheduled-for-november-29/ …

      More of the same anti-vaccine logic and rhetoric, but then I found out who he is, which added a whole other dimension. For anyone else: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Angelo_John_Gage …

      Yes, people rarely believe in just one conspiracy theory, which is why you find so many antivaxxers who are also in fringe political groups.

          An interesting background on antivaxxers--they go back to the 50's version of John Birch Society. Common theme then was polio as "monkey serum." They also preached against creeping socialism. Father of Koch Bros was co-founder of John Birch Society.pic.twitter.com/LRzGWEEpyb

          Spare me the lecture.🙄 I was speaking in general. I take second place to no one when it comes to slapping down Holocaust deniers and Nazis.

          Believing that all vaccines are safe & effective, despite the overwhelming evidence of vaccine failure & harm, makes you the nut job. What other crackpot theories do you have? 😂
