You think right wingers are anti vax? I thought that was a lefty thing.

I've seen it in 3 spheres:

  1. Granola people.

  2. Conspiracy-theorist "Vaccines make you gay"/big pharma etc.

  3. Whataboutism people who were probably vaccinated but want to play "devil's advocate."

Ya, I know several number 1's who are super far left that are anti vax.

I was just giving you an example of a right wing leader with anti vax beliefs. A lot of left wing people and people with no political affiliation have those same beliefs, too

That's fine. May just be that all the irl anti vaxxers I know are super left leaning, whereas I dont any right wingers with those sentiments. But that's certainly not proof of anything.
