In 5 years time they'll still have the same mantra: "We don't know what vaccines do! They're untested!" Well, these are the tests you just killed.

- jfengel 2y agoIt's so surreal, because we've watched this one evolve in real time. Anti-vax was not a mainstream conservative position even five years ago. You were much more likely to hear it from progressives, as an anti-corporate and anti-big-pharma position. I think that's where RFK Jr. started from. He was rejected by progressives, and eventually conservatives welcomed him. In just five years we went from "COVID is not a problem" to "We don't need a COVID vaccine" to "The new COVID vaccine must be bad" to "all vaccines are bad". It didn't even take five years; it was really set by 2022. It was never a conservative goal before that, and you were much more likely to hear conservatives pretend that it was a mainstream liberal position by highlighting the small number of celebrity dimwits. Surely somebody is out recruiting Jenny McCarthy for CPAC.
