    I’m gonna don my tinfoil hat and say this surge in alt medicine bullshit can’t be a coincidence. I’m starting to think it’s part of the plan to sicken and weaken the West along with the push to promote far right politics.

      It’s also a good way to get people into questioning authorities. “The government has been lying to you about vaccines all along.” leads to “You can’t trust the government at all.” and ultimately “Vote for parties that will dismantle our current democratic system.” The anti-science/anti-vax crowd has always had a giant overlap with the politically far right.

      russia/putin most likely was pushing the propaganda, remember the covid vaccine came out they were pushing the anti-vax narrative so much even thier own citizens refused to vaccinate. the anti-porn, age verification all traces back to russia. the one thing russia wants to do is weaken the west. this is how they do it, besides politically, just spread conspiracies.

      It’s biological terrorism through misinformation. Why drop a bio weapon when you can just mislead the ignorant into spreading measles?
