The saddest part about this is that the people telling others not to vaccinate aren't going to suffer from this because they know they're spreading bullshit and thus already vaccinated themselves.

I see a lot of folks on the left making fun of maga supporters for being against vaccines etc, but I’ve only ever met anti vax leftists…. I’m not against vaccines I believe the science but it’s less of a left right issue than we believe it to be….

I can, however, say that I understand any concern or trepidation folks in the US have because of our fucked up healthcare system, the astronomical cost of healthcare even many can not afford preventative care, would lean folks to believe less scientifically proven methods and non traditional health care.

In the United States if you get sick, you lose everything.

I never saw this as a right vs left thing, just a stupid vs smart thing. But I can see why people would assume anti-vaxxers are right wing.

Because anyone left of center is a socialist or communist according to the academics

Which is odd because every other democratic nation in the free world has a form of HEALTHCARE FOR ALL that far exceeds ours , find one and that is worse? Cuba probably has top secret doctors helping us who knows
