Yeah, it's interesting, the majority of Trump supporters in my family are pro-vaccine ("Trump deserves all the credit!"), but there are also the anti-vaxxers who are now getting along much better with those who did not support Trump but have always been anti-vaccine for other reasons (skeptical of Western medicine overall). It's not an encouraging alliance.
The best explanation I've heard is that Republicans have united the crazies. They've had a lot of help from Facebook and the pandemic structuring informal exchange of information. Ten years ago, the anti-vax hippie had nothing in common with the white supremacist. Now they both think Soros and Bill Gates are putting 5G into your veins.
