It’s not a myth at all. All the granola progressive lefts were all primarily anti-vax and most moderate to progressive lefts were definitely anti-big pharma and anti-military industrial complex. I know because I lived long enough to be friends with them and live among them and am left myself, at least a 90s left wing liberal that was fervently anti-government and anti-war and anti-pharma.
- tombert 2y agoNope, sorry, personal anecdotes are not evidence no matter how many times you repeat them across multiple threads (also what does being anti-military-industrial-complex have to do with being anti-vax)? The data seems to indicate you are just wrong. Sorry.
- blindriver 2y agoGood thing you’re not the authority on that.
- tombert 2y agoI'm not 100% sure why your anecdata is somehow more valid than mine? Anyone on the internet can claim anything, it's ridiculous if you think that you just asserting that something is true because of your personal vibes is convincing to anyone. At least I provided a source. You provided literally nothing.

You are the one that posted personal anecdotes.
- tombert 2y agoYep, and I also posted a link that contained survey data, which you seemed to ignore. Feel free to dismiss my anecdote and instead just focus on the quantitative data if you're like.
