“The Baby Boomers however have turned out to be bigger wimps than the millenials”
A little over 20 years ago a goofball British physician named Andrew Wakefield claimed to have discovered that the MMR vaccine was causing autism. His study was eventually shown to be a complete fraud and it cost him his medical license, but not before he became a darling of Hollywood and created the vaccine paranoia movement. I suspect that some of the Covid vax fear has roots in that controversy.
