Why are so many Americans anti-vaxxers now?
Post Body

I’m genuinely having such a hard time understanding why people just decided the fact that vaccines work is a total lie and also a controversial “opinion.” Even five years ago, anti-vaxxers were a huge joke and so rare that they were only something you heard of online. Now herd immunity is going away because so many people think getting potentially life-altering illnesses is better than getting a vaccine. I just don’t get what happened. Is it because of the cultural shift to the right-wing and more people believing in conspiracy theories, or does it go deeper than that?

We are generations out from people understanding the real threat of disease, because vaccines work. It’s the same reason people no longer understand where food comes from, or how to survive during a prolonged power outage. Modern first-world humanity has been successful enough to become complacent about the things that made them successful.

Trump fucked us up man, it’s insanity the little insular made up world he has created for his followers.

Because the US gov started messing with stuff and they also don't have as many regulations and restrictions so noone trusts them
