    New research has found that Americans who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 are particularly prone to anti-vaccination attitudes and that these attitudes can be exacerbated by the president’s tweets. The findings have been published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
    https://www.psypost.org/2020/04/new...-vaccine-attitudes-among-his-supporters-56359
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    We knew it would come to this. Anything, no matter how ludicrous, is defended and called DAMN RIGHT, by his defenders.

    And, his defenders call his tweets JUST tweets. AS if they were harmless.

    The ANTIVAXX mentality has shown itself as a community danger, in Coronavirus era.

    We also now have antitesters, antiPPEs for MEAN Governors, antiVENTILATORS for complainers, ANTIhealthcare for seniors, Antiscience Jesus believers.

    Democrats write the story first then make the poll to support it later.

    The US antivac movement is centered in CA. Guess what else you find on CA.

    Which means the anti-vaccers could easily be Republicans, Democrats or none of the above ... so don't draw inane conclusions from locations ... duh.

    You really think Jenny McCarthy is a Republican, not to mention the coterie of Hollywood ass hats that are members of L. Ron Hubbard's coterie of nut bars.

    It’s easy to make statements with no proof either, just saying.

    Easy to look up. Just google "number of registered Republicans by state".

    I specifically stated that anti-vaccers "could be Republicans, Democrats or none of the above ...". Try reading before making asinine assertions.

    From personal experience I find that the anti-vaccine people tend to be fairly left leaning people who are into the whole food no gmo organic crowd, like my nutty sister.
