Someone published an article in the 90s linking the two, but has since renounced it. I think politicians saw how people could have distrust in the scientific community and use that to their advantage

Vaccines, imo, are a great “gateway drug” for brainwashing people. They’re something that everyone needs, but the average person doesn’t understand. They’re so universally accepted, that anyone who questions them is rightfully dismissed… which unfortunately often reinforces their distrust. And once people believe something like vaccines are a conspiracy, it’s much easier to convince them of more meaningful lies (e.g., Trump disagreeing with P2025 or Russia “liberating” Ukraine)

Kamala Harris 2020 “im not gonna take the Donald Trump vaccine” Mike Pence in respone “I wish you’d stop playing politics with peoples lives” Trump supporters are against the vaccine for the Same reason Harris pretended she was, it was made in a quick time and blew through all of the necessary testing it needed.

Because once you wear a red hat, science ceases to exist. There is no nature. There are no natural laws. There is only the word of the fuhrer.

As someone who lives in deep MAGA territory and in healthcare I hate having to hear people say how they believe Trump will fix the price of their medication
