I've gotta say the correlation being made here is at best a dog whistle playing into the problem with current politics.
Lets make our arguments based on facts and not conflate the anti-intellectual movement that brought us the vacation controversy. With a very real political conversation.
Pipelines might be the safest and environmentally responsible way too move the most effective form of energy we have. and the impact of opposing them might be economically terrible for many people Alberta. But there is still a very legitimate philosophical and factual framework one could form that could lead them to oppose them, to ignore the positions without justification is just a good way to weaken your ability to reason over time.
Anti-vaxers, are basically deeply insecure people who feel the need to virtue signal by bucking conventional wisdom for something better. If they had the time or opportunity to gain real information, they would probably be more secure and aware of what it is they know and down know, and would no longer feel the need to show what they know.
