Anti-vaccine sentiment is strongly associated with conspiracy thinking and protection of individual freedoms, traits that are finding a home among far-right groups. @crackedscience looks at the #antivaccine movement in 2020 @gorskon @DrPaulOffit @ryarmsthttp://mcgill.ca/x/4iL
19th Century antivaxxers were actually a diverse lot, and included anti-vivisectionists, temperance advocates, vegetarians, homeopaths, phrenologists, “scientific palmists,” and a society for the prevention of premature burial, and more. It wasn't just a religious phenomenon.

I was not trying to ruffle your feathers. I was only trying to point out the history of anti vaxxers goes back farther than the 1960s. You seem offended by the idea religion fueled the opposition back then. Oh well, nothing I can do about that. Bye.
