@arstechnica Whoah there’s a lot of vitriol in these replies. A few notes: vaccine skepticism was pioneered in the USA by liberal cranks, not conservative ones. While there have always been a small number of religious objectors, the energy came from yummy mummies and daddies who bought into the bogus vaccines cause autism theory. QAnon united lefty and maga conspiracy-minded people into one intense blob of antivax nuttiness. /1
@arstechnica I'm still convinced anti-vaxxers are going to bring back horrible things people thought were nearly eradicated like polio. I wouldn't be at all shocked if it's Florida that becomes ground zero.
I've heard some anti-vaxxers even WANT their kids to get measles. Some of them do "parties" where they have the kids mingle to spread disease on purpose.
Who ever thought the human version of cordyceps wouldn't be a fungus but would just be plain stupidity and ignorance?
@Npars01@arstechnica Not just the GOP, many Western Governments want their poor to suffer needlessly now. "Public Health" is woke or something, it's more fashionable to let the disease have a fair shot at us.
@SaskiadeRegt@arstechnica Measles was almost eradicated in the US making vaccination pointless until millions of unvaccinated immigrants from South America brought it and several other diseases back.
