Rando dumping on GG

It’s lip service so right-wing media and their Democratic-hating useful idiots can claim: “Oh, silly liberals, conservatives were always for vaccines,” and point to a single vaccine sympathetic sound bite… that’s surrounded by months of entertaining every anti-vaxx conspiracy theory and writing it off as “just asking questions.”

The claim that there’s a huge, sudden surge of GOP politicians and media figures issuing pro-vaccine messages for the first time ever this week is one of those fake conspiracy theories liberals believe because they only listen to one another saying it. It’s epistemic closure. https://t.co/ezlrNKkAxw
