View Full Version : I don't know why the left establishment makes "vax vs anti-vax" a left vs right issue

When it's clearly not. Most right establishment and people on the right are for responsible vaxxing. It's the ultra organic hippies and extreme libertarians who don't, the same who often don't eat meat, eggs not marked cage-free or any vegetables without an organic stamp of approval. Chipotle is a religion, not a restaurant. It's okay to dye my hair bright pink but NO MAKEUP THAT CAUSES LYMPHOMA! Cigarettes are awful but weed is perfectly healthy, etc.

And the majority of those either stay home or vote liberal, if not for the Democratic candidate then the green party or libertarian candidate for sure.

Both ends have their nutters. This is definitely a case where the traditional left-right thing doesn't work.

An issue of stupidity that transcends our normal definitions.

Maybe Macron is on to something.

I haven't looked but I bet you could find lymphoma free makeup to go with your pink hair, imo
