Oh and Trump when asked had also initially referred to the attack as horrible.

It was pretty horrible, whether true or a hoax.

Disagree. A violent attack is much more horrible than a fictional one.

I didn't say they were both equally horrible.

We know, but the SJW's  are well, who they are.

Because so much of it is under the umbrella of "caring". And back then, women were presumed to be irrational anyway.

Anti Vaxers are the lefts climate change deniers. A group of people who beleive scientists are there trying to trick you for money or other nefarious reasons. It's such a odd phenomena.

It is hardly a unique viewpoint to the Left.  I see large numbers of right wing anti-government types and religious fundamentalists of all strains virulently oppose vaccinating.

The religious fundamental who oppose vaccination tend to be of the type who reject many other forms of modern medical care on philosophical grounds--they don't necessarily claim that vaccination doesn't work or causes other health problems.  And the right-wing types who oppose vaccination generally don't oppose vaccination per se or deny it's efficiency, they just oppose it being mandated by the government.  Neither group seems to be much in the "vaccination causes autism" camp--those types are either left-wingers or soccer moms.

presumed?

Yup. Faddish irrationalism transcends the left-right divide.

Indeed it does!

Sadly, not the only ones on the left.

Well I wish you were correct there but you are completely wrong. Plenty of anti-Vaccine nutters on the right. Hell Trump even threw them a bone once during his political campaign.

[Habbaku]

It wasn't just once for Trump. I think he was/is legitimately anti-vax because of his son.

Gotcha, I often give Trump too much credit and assume cynicism when idiocy is the correct answer.

[fromtia]

Anti Vaxx lunacy is a cross party platform, as everyone else has already pointed out. Trump has certainly flirted with it, I think he was even considering offering an anti vaxxer a position in his administration at one point.

Is Jill Stein an anti-vaxxer? I think so? It may just be a bit of flirting, but really completely contemptible anyway.

It is fascinating to me how conspiracy theories have mutated in my life time from sort of counter-cultural anti-government maybe slightly libertarian to generally hard right wing Alex Jones. Not universally, but generally, if someone tells me about pizza-gate or fake moon landings they often seem to embrace a lot of right wing positions on things.

Anti-Vaxx is all over the place though. All over the stupid.
