Some of the only people who seem to agree with me on lefty politics are also anti-vaxxers. It is an odd one, but I do not blame them for mistrusting literally everything they have ever been told by an authority figure.
Its frustrating, because I've read some legit criticism of mRNA as a technology, of the manufacturing process, of the patent system, of the means of testing and distribution, of reporting on efficacy...
I definitely understand the skepticism. But vaccination, broadly speaking, is just so well-established as effective and useful. Its like watching people slip from "American car culture is a massive waste of resources" to "the internal combustion engine doesn't actually work".
I get you. But I would argue that they are so badly educated about vaccinations from the get-go, that they probably never appreciated the benefits of having them at all.
