as long as you understand, ........... the far-left urban folks are ALSO the uncool kids duped into being told they can come to the cool kids party (by the uber-wealthy-led DEM) but they show up and are never let inside the house.  And instead of getting frustrated or mad and looking around for another party, they're inexplicably spending their time mowing the grass outside the party and trimming the hedges and telling anyone passing by how great the people inside the house are.  It's what the kids online call being a "simp." 
This may very well be true, but since I don't have firsthand experience with this, I don't want to talk out of my ass.
Could you provide some specifics?  Is it equally as widespread?  Has the far left taken over their party?  Are there as many anti-vaxxers on the far left?  Do liberals tend to vote against their own financial self-interest? 
.
I could go on a tangent here and say the worst modern thing about past slavery is the instillation of Christianity into black culture.  But then most of your panties will get in a bunch and you won't understand the connection.

The irony here is that Fro is a poor White male who obediently carries water for the White Liberal elitist ruling class.

I tend to chuckle when someone talks to me about how wonderful their side is and how awful the other side is.  It's predictable of course.  The other side is a bunch of "woke" over educated unrealistic communists, or uneducated racist red necks who have no clue what's in their best interest.

Ask a Florida fan about your typical Bulldog fan and you get the same sort of response.

As to whether liberals or conservatives are now more likely to be opposed to vaccination, some researchers have suggested that, while anti-vaccination beliefs have spread to libertarians on the right, the anti-vaccination movement originates and finds its strongest support in the political left. A later article by the same researchers similarly argues that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) evidence shows that states that voted for Obama in 2012 have higher rates of nonmedical vaccination exemptions.

Yet, other research suggests that it is in fact conservatives who are more likely to believe that vaccines cause autism, that it is liberals who are more likely to endorse pro-vaccination statements and that the more strongly someone identifies with the Republican Party, the more likely he or she is to have a negative opinion of vaccination.

"some research" vs "other research"


Even writing the article you clipped that from is irresponsible.  Reporting out on "what the research says" shouldn't occur until the research has come to a conclusion.  
This need-it-now culture we have is bastardizing everything.

It doesn't matter how many times you post it, it doesn't make it true.  
Both parties have left the arena of prudence at warp speeds......it's just that one of them did it first and is distancing itself at a faster rate.

Thanks for taking the 3 minutes to google search 3 inconclusive articles.....I guess?
The articles clearly show that antivax sentiment is not somehow isolated with the right.

Unless you can't read.

That's the response from someone with a dog in the fight.  
If you took the time (you won't) to go back and watch old news, it's right there.  Journalists have done this and written articles about it (that you won't read).  


Used to be, news organizations, aside from it just being the right thing to do, thought if they provided erroneous, slanted news coverage, people would be outraged and stop watching.  Credibility gone.  News organization gone.
CNN wasn't some ethics professor....they just wanted to not be wrong, as they had a monopoly on the 24 hour news channel.  I guess a kind of monopoly, sure.  Then MSNBC and FN hop in the same year.  Competition.  Great!  Not great.

All 3 channels probably realized that all of them reporting the same news the same ways was going to lead to.....nothing, really.  CNN was top dog, because they were the original and employed people (as it turns out) on both sides of the isle.  Maybe they had the right mix, maybe people just harmlessly read the teleprompter to keep their jobs.  I don't know.

But Fox and Mr Murdock decided to do something.  Whether it was a experiment to get ratings or to just push an ideology, it doesn't really matter.  They said 'screw it' and did something different......report the same news with a conservative spin and fancy graphics.  Murdock happily did this and HMMM.....as with many things that work, it was great timing.  
Clinton impeached for lying.
Bush II as president.
American attacked by....whoever in the middle east.

Ding ding ding!
Now we can do what we're doing even harder.  And while we report the news with a spin, we will tell the viewer we DON'T spin, over and over, until they believe it.
Old president bad.  New president good.  Whatever middle east country bad (not that it was the one who attacked us).
Viewership up.  Up, up, up.

Who do we have reporting these slanted 'news' stories?  Let's extract the furthest right-learning people from our competition:  CNN.  Who's that?  How about Greta Van Sustren and Tucker Carlson?  MSNBC initially had shows for Michael Savage, Pat Buchanon, and Joe Scarborough.  They idiotically tried to be middle-ground as FN got more and more radical.

Anyone who wants to argue with the above, go invent some BS that says otherwise.  Yes, since FN decided to be slanted paid off in viewership, MSNBC did as well.  CNN has tried to avoid being obsolete.  But because FN revealed that WE THE PEOPLE don't give a shit about accurate, prudent journalism.  We care about confirmation bias and tribalism.

Are there as many anti-vaxxers on the far left? 
not sure about the ratio, but obviously you weren't suggesting the far left is pro-vax
