Are we gonna draw the obvious connection?
Vax mandates. Everybody everywhere crying out with a single pure unified voice of assent. (except for a few lone narcissistic racist contrarian Trumpers of course)
Pharma corps are making HUGE money off that.
(And if Twitter, Apple, Reddit etc really are doctoring the conversation. Well, it's their own private property and they have the right to do with it as they will...)
- reaperducer 5y agocontrarian Trumpers I've never understood why people conflate Trump with anti-vax. He got the vaccine. He was among the first. I'm not sure if it's compulsive tribalism, or cognitive dissonance, but it seems to affect both sides.
- swayvil 5y agoYes, it's compulsive tribalism. And the media-lords who exploit it. For example, I was called a white-supremacist for expressing anti-mask sentiment. You see how it works.
- detaro 5y agoI believe it's accurate that anti-vax positions are more widespread among Trump supporters. And while it's true that Trump himself got vaccinated and has spoken for it, he also didn't put much push behind it: e.g. he got vaccinated in January and it was then only revealed two months later that he did. And regarding the attitudes of his supporters, his railing of "don't trust the new administration, don't trust authorities/"the establishment"/the media ...", claims that the pharma companies were using the release of the vaccine to hurt him politically, ... play a large part in it. Similarly if you look at what a lot of his prominent supporters are doing and saying. Associating "Trumpers" with anti-vax positions IMHO is appropriate, although I wouldn't put it as "everybody but a few Trumpers". (edit: swapped association order, this way round is better)
