"There are few groups so reviled in liberal circles as the anti-vaxxers. Seen
as embarrassingly anti-science and anti-social to boot, the popular anti-vaxxer
archetype is a shrill, loudly wrong grifter straight out of YouTube Medical
School. They are not only uninformed, but dangerous. And their specific brand
of ignorance invites a mocking condescension from those of us who self-identify
as “educated” and “pro-science.”
There’s one big problem with liberal media outlets, individuals and
institutions expressing this disdain today: they have, themselves, adopted many
foundational beliefs of the anti-vax movement without even realizing it. While
they express continued appreciation for vaccines, their underlying ideas about
immune systems, illness, herd immunity, and the social value of public health
have all aligned with anti-vaxxer ideology. I’ll unpack each of these
foundational beliefs individually, but first I’d like to address why this has
happened."
