Anti vaxxers believe illness is good for you, disease mitigations can harm you, and public health is a personal choice

Now, liberals and leftists do too

Excellent reporting by Julia Doubleday on how far right anti vaxx beliefs have been mainstreamed https://www.thegauntlet.news/p/liberals-joined-conservatives-to

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health

Viruses are bad for kids' health. Public health is a collective effort. Liberals no longer believe either.
