And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

@georgetakei I've heard antivaxxers claim that it's actually because we don't have horses leaving waste in the streets anymore.

That's right: their justifications are literally horseshit.

@Thad @georgetakei so those people would also push for electric cars and renewable energy as they don't produce so much equivalent waste like fossil fuels which replaced horses?

@SomeAnoTooter Some of them probably do. The antivaxx movement is primarily associated with the right wing now, but historically it had pretty deep roots in the "alternative medicine" movement, which has a lot of leftist hippie types. There's probably more overlap in antivaxx/pro-renewables than you'd think.

Hell, RFK Jr himself had a solid record as an environmental activist before he decided to reorient his career around spreading preventable diseases.
