Lefties Planted the Anti-Science Seed Fueling Vaccine Skepticism

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : When Obama calls on African Americans to embrace emerging biotech products, anti-vaxxers can point to his passage of GMO labeling laws in 2015, fulfilling a promise he made in 2007.
46% : When Prince Charles encourages people to get the vaccine in the UK, anti-vaxxers can point to his prior warnings of biotech catastrophe.
45% : In this pandemic anti-vaxxers didn't need to discredit 200 years of vaccine efficacy, or explain away scientific consensus.
37% : When Japanese health authorities tell its citizens to get vaccinated, anti-vaxxers cite its ban on MMR vaccines and GM crops.
36% : The European Union has been similarly haunted by its early and aggressive attacks on GMOs, shaped in large part by the father of the anti-biotech movement, Jeremy Rifkin, who has served as a senior adviser to three EU presidents.
29% : When Bernie Sanders tells his followers to get jabs, anti-vaxxers can point to the fact he voted against the GMO labeling bill, not because he opposed pandering to bogus health fears
