      As I said yesterday, an unholy alliance between #COVIDIOTS (a.k.a. #COVID19 #pandemic deniers) and #antivaxxers to oppose #StayAtHome orders through #ReopenAmericaNow is developing . These people are a horrifying threat to public health. #OperationGridlockhttps://sciencebasedmedicine.org/covid-19-pandemic-deniers-and-the-antivaccine-movement-an-unholy-alliance/ …

      It's interesting how most of these conspiracy theorists seem to have culled and culminated into almost strictly alt-right Trumpers. Ten years ago if you asked me to show you an anti-vaxxer I would have pointed to the first liberal hippie with dreadlocks that walked by.

      And you would have been wrong then, too. It's a myth that antivaxxers were primarily crunchy hippie-dippy lefties. That's never been true. Antivaccine beliefs are roughly equal on the left and right and have been for a long time.

          It's OK. A lot of people believe the fallacy that antivaccine activism is primarily a left wing phenomenon.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/06/04/the-daily-show-hilarious-segment-about-vaccines-not-so-hilariously-wrong-about-the-politics-of-vaccine-denialism/ …

          I like to point to the example of General Bert Stubblebine III’s Natural Solutions Foundation, which promoted "health freedom" decades ago. The right wingers who opposed vaccines tended to be the same people who opposed water fluoridation.

          I think that's true for the US, but I would be curious if there are statistics about antivaxxers political orientation in Europe. I think 95% of those I know here in Ireland are crunchy hippies.

          Do you think that political polarization in the US will drive a shift in the 50%/50% split between left and right on vaccines? In other words, do you think that the tribal hostility of the right toward science will eventually make the anti-vax movement a rightwing movement?

          I figured. That's why I said it only "seems" that way.
