Ohio lawmakers want to abolish vaccine requirements:
[...] Lawmakers are working on legislation to call off the lottery immediately. They're also trying to head off any plans for "vaccine passports." And last month, they introduced a sweeping antivaccination bill that would essentially demolish public health and vaccination requirements in the state—and not just requirements for COVID-19 vaccines, requirements for any vaccine.
[...] State Rep. Beth Liston (D-Dublin) blasted the bill, telling The Columbus Dispatch, "Not only would it prevent schools, businesses and communities from putting safety measures in pace related to COVID, it will impact the health of our children... This bill applies to all vaccines—polio, measles, meningitis, etc. If it becomes law we will see worsening measles outbreaks, meningitis in the dorms, and children once again suffering from polio."
[...] "At its core, this proposal would destroy our current public health framework that prevents outbreaks of potentially lethal diseases, threatens the stability of our economy as it recovers from a devastating pandemic and jeopardizes the way we live, learn, work and celebrate life," the letter said.
[...] "HB 248 would put all Ohioans at risk while increasing the cost of health care for families, individuals and businesses," spokesperson Dan Williamson said. "This proposal applies to all immunizations, including childhood vaccines. If passed, this legislation could reverse decades of immunity from life-threatening, but vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, mumps, hepatitis, meningitis and tuberculosis."

There were more anti-vaxxers on the hippie dippie left before the MSM used covid as another tool of getting rid of the orange man. Their weaponization of this drove a lot of stupid reactionary stuff on the right to where we are now.

When in doubt, make shit up. Remember when it was liberals disguised as conservatives attempting an insurrection?

The anti-vaxxers have always been a combination of the anti-intellectual hippie-dippy lefties who think that everything that can be fixed with whatever new age spiritual nonsense that's out there, and the anti-intellectual hardline righties who think that vaccines are a secret Communist plot to control our minds and bodies or something.
The people that fed the hard-line opposition to the MMR vaccine also fed the hard-line opposition to the Covid-19 vaccine.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a compiler is a good guy with a compiler.

If your defense is that some hippie dumbasses ALSO believe your nonsense then you're fighting a losing battle!

I didn't say that I believe it. The left used to hold the hippies aloft as the ideal liberal. Don't blame society for still following that around.

Trump started that stupidity. And given that Trump lost the election against Biden, it looks to me like maybe a considerable portion of the public agreed.

DannyB's best pick [washingtonpost.com] was the changing narratives as covid spread in the US with Trump admitting in private that covid was worse than he claimed in public. That's an awful lot of lying and wriggling on the hook just there.
Look, you got conned. Happens all the time.

Meanwhile in public [washingtonpost.com]:
There's a bunch of good stuff in DannyB's collection. But I'm afraid that you'll need a new role model, if you read that.
