      Wasn't it? I feel like anti-vax largely arose out of the left (at least in my childhood - I'm 42). Seems like it only migrated to the right with Covid, but you would know way more than me so feel free to tell me to F off.

      Nope. You have your history wrong. Antivax beliefs have generally occurred at about the same prevalence among the left and the right, and there’s always been a strong right wing component to the antivax movement.

      The political migration of the antivax movement strongly to the right began long before #COVID19. It really picked up steam in 2015, when California passed SB 277, which eliminated nonmedical exemptions to school vaccine mandates.

          Then, of course, the pandemic turbocharged the migration of the antivax movement to the far right beyond its previous migration right.

          ah, as it did so much else. I bet I can also find this info on your website. But thanks for responding on the twitter machine.
