@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
