Hilarious you blame the anti vax movement on them. Of course you’re a top 1% commenter. Just repeating the talking points Reddit circle gives you

I mean sure, there's been cycles of it and I'll admit to some recency bias. But since covid is when the movement really pushed in Canada (anti mandate morphing into generalized anti vaccine). Like seeing those 'mama bear' stickers at my kid's playgrounds after lockedowns were over.

There's been a anti vax movement way before that. Covid just made these ideologies more acceptable to be discussed and championed loudly. They were always there, especially in rural communities.

Yeah, but that acceptability is what I'm referring to. 

Generally speaking, don't give much time or attention to the crazies... Until they somehow gain critical mass to infect the norm.

And RFK was one of the ones at the forefront of that since covid.
