ReI mean, there was a thing back in the 50s where John Burcher types were utterly convinced that the polio vaccine was a communist plot to control the children of America, as alluded to in this delightful cartoon from 1953



Of course, this wasn't even the first time this occurred. Perhaps you should educate yourself on the controversies that surrounded smallpox vaccines in the 1800s, it was quite a wedge issue at times both in NA and in Europe. I tell you, the outcry over the mandatory vaccination law passed in the UK In 1853 really upset a lot of people. As did mandatory masking, quarantines and shuttering of public spaces during the Spanish Flu epidemics following the first world war.

The rest of this post proves you know about as much about how vaccines work as you do about their history and the history of pandemics and epidemics in western democracies in the last couple hundred years. Now would be a good time to sit down.
