    The antivax crowd is not just trumpers. I’m not sure how much this has changed recently, but 10 to 20 years ago, I knew plenty of liberal college-educated suburban soccer moms who believed in that shit.

      They’re not all MAGAts, but they are all anti-empiricist conspiracy theorists, so it’s only a matter of time before they land on Trump or run straight past it to Nazism. Surely you’ve seen this for yourself.
