Yep. But there’s also a cross section of ages spewing propaganda. I mean, RFK Jr is ancient. He should remember the time of bloodletting yet here we are.
And the misinformation campaign is oppressive. When my first born was at his 6 month (?) pediatrician appointment, the doctor started in on, “I’m required to inform you that vaccination is a personal and religious choice …” I cut him off and said, “I believe in science” and I could see the immediate relief on his face. I don’t know what he didn’t have to say, but it surely wasn’t good.

I find it so fucking weird that it’s not the default position, but…I’m almost sure it’s not. Personally, I like to say science requires no belief, but merely accepting the evidence [1]…but the shorthand is usually easier.
Anyway, imagine going to a mechanic, and they give you some spiel about how “I’m required to inform you that oil changes are a matter of personal and religious choice…” 🤯
[1] This is only because some brainiacs like to pretend as if science and religion are just two sides of the same coin and both require belief. It’s really a way that they are telling on themselves and basically admitting they know nothing about basic principles of science…but you hear it all the time.

Oh good, I’m not the only one. Cheers, Chuck!
In what state is that, is that a law there?
