While I have plenty of issues with modern American ‘conservatism’; a good chunk of the anti-vax movement was initially driven by some of the ‘crunchier’ members of the left (ie. alternate/natural medicine, crystal healing mom-type people)..
Yep. When my eldest was nearing school age we lived in a pretty bad district so we went to a private school open house. Total yoga crowd. Checked the vaccination release data that night and less than half the students were up to date.
Now the thing is, this was 9 years ago. So while it is technically true and for a brief period of time places like Mississippi could brag of a higher vaccination rate than San Francisco it was 9 years ago. It is no longer the case.
Politics isn't a line, it's a circle. Go far left enough and you become alt right. The lines blur when crystal moms go to "doctors are a conspiracy" to "government conspiracy". It all bleeds over.
