I found the article interesting, and balanced.
The conference was clearly of the antivaxx ilk, not anti-mandate. I wouldn't attend obviously, it's kooky stuff, homeopathic crap and whatnot. It's understandable how some antigovernment types (now that Trump is out) would be attracted to such things. Basically, it's a group of folks united in varied beliefs of conspiracies and "they" who are against us, working secretly to embed chips in us, or create world government, or let the UN take our guns, or set up Walmarts as reeducation camps for Trump supporters, or whatever else of similar ilk. They adopted Trump as Their Guy and don't want this vaccine because, well, because Trump got it all rolling?
I am all astonishment, literally.
