This is probably not going to be popular. While I am conservative - anti abortion and anti LGBT I don't share the views of many on here concerning vaccines and I will get into why. I have a deep abiding distrust of the information about the vaccines floating out there. I watched first hand the genesis of this information. Being on the inside track in an administrative position does have its perks.
Where did all the the mis-information about the Covid Vaccines come from? The sources are multiple at this point.
We have our dirty dozen more popularly known as the Disinformation Dozen.
Joseph Mercola, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ty and Charlene Bollinger, Sherri Tenpenny, Rizza Islam, Rashid Buttar, Erin Elizabeth, Sayer Ji, Kelly Brogan, Christiane Northrup, Ben Tapper, and Kevin Jenkins.
Rashid Butter made claims such as 5G cell phone networks and "chemtrails" causing COVID-19. He was also the one that spread the idea that vaccines cause autism. This batch accounts for 60 percent of the current misinformation. But where did it start?
The Covid Misinformation starts earlier than these quacks.
I was a member of the Trump Server - The Donald, the very one that got shut down because insurrectionists had attached themselves to it. I was mid level management and the ISP's of these people were not US. They had ISP out of Norway and Sweden, primarily. These countries host people hostile to the US. We had one user, that kept harping on death penalty for the mildest offenses including jay walking. Sounds like something an ISIS or Taliban person would say. His was also very misogynistic. He was also a proponent of alternatives to vaccines. These non-US users pushed back against the vaccines when Trump wanted the roll them out. Then came the election and Biden won. The server was flooded with anti vax material from these users. The server was shut down after the capitol riots.
I also help to manage Facebook groups and we get off topic antivax stuff all the time. The big mouths that spew much of this material are still in these hotspots that are not American. Facebook gave me a wonderful tool that tells me where the post in coming from because I am a group Admin, especially if it a spammy post. It is why I have a deep distrust of antivax arguments and alternative therapies.
In short, the vaccine conspiracy theories were birthed by mostly people that were not American. Most of them are not Christian and are hostile to Christians. I believe they want to see the American experiment fail. And it's working. This country is sharply divided over how to manage the pandemic. It should not be that way.
I am just sharing what I have seen being in that server. It was not pretty on the Donald. It was a sewer at times. I believe it attracted a lot of hostile people with evil intentions.
