No, it's not, in al likelihood. There's always been an anti-vax population, but this latest trend wit the Covid vaccines has nothing to do with medicine and health. This is a political stance so warped some people espousing it really think they're acting with some kind of logic.
Malaria vaccine? Great, bring it on, everyone hates malaria. Won't even hit the US radar. Few vaccines ever do.
Vaccines? Old news. Mandates? Old news? Public health issues? Decided long ago. But suddenly the very people who lamented that homeschooling kids was too hard are expert analysts and medical professionals decrying the Draconian measures meant to keep people alive.
@Grvstu Yes, there have always been anti-vaxxers, but never before has there been more ample, easy to understand refresher material regarding vaccines. Anyone who still believes vaccines are linked to anything but protection are simply discarding fact and choosing their own truth. Which is a lie.
