The 2020s iteration of Twitter with Space Karen at the helm, and the sharp rise in antivax beliefs with the advent of the COVID vaccine. It's quite amazing to me how people that even get every other routine vaccine have completely false beliefs about it and don't get that one. Weaponized disinformation is a terrible thing.
My coworker told me two weeks ago that she was not getting any more COVID vaccines "because they're pushing it on us", and yet went and told Public Health that she has multiple sex partners so she could get the monkeypox vaccine. My head is spun over that.
