>> anti-vaxxers tend to come from the left and Hollyweird types <<
Don’t forget the trial lawyers: They have financed a lot of the anti-vax movement in the USA. It wouldn’t surprise me if they have even been sending trolls over here to FR in order to peddle their garbage.
On top of that, the British trial lawyers were in cahoots from the very beginning with the defrocked MD in England whose fraudulent article precipitated the whole vax-autism myth.
Wakefield's fraud lives on everywhere. It's been 17 years, so there's no excuse for still being ignorant about the evidence.
There are people here who automatically think that simply because the government recommends something, it must be bad. Perhaps they think seatbelts are a corporate-government conspiracy too. I'm against seatbelt laws for adults and forced vaccination, but it's pretty much a no-brainer that you can't send a kid to school without having his shots.
These people think they are liberty-loving skeptics, but they're actually Erin Brockovich/Alex Jones wannabes.
The anti-vaxxers are arguably responsible for the measles outbreak. But since these people aren't evidence-based, it's likely they'll blame that on a government conspiracy too.
