Oh, now I understand why you keep blaming Trump. You're conflating anti-vaxx with anti-lockdown. Trump and AFLDS were anti-lockdown, back in 2020. Trump was strongly pro-vaxx because he hoped it would end the lockdowns.
I guess if you've always voted Republican, you have no one to blame but yourself? I've generally voted Libertarian or Green, I've been disgusted with both major parties for my entire life.
The Atlantic article was pretty interesting. The author (Louis Menand) succeeded in explaining one of the reasons why I personally have lost confidence in the entire mass media, including Faux News as well as CNN, CNBC and so forth: they've been completely infiltrated by the CIA since at least 1952, as has been well known since 1977.
He also touches on the fiasco of media coverage of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, but strangely omits the fact that the leading Democratic candidate, RFK, had been brutally murdered and the press swept any real investigation under the rug.
And the fact that the media is owned and controlled by billionaires, and now openly and always in defiance of the interests of the people? Not mentioned. The fact that they've been exposed as liars on more occasions than I can count? Not mentioned.
I haven't lost confidence in real science. But when Pope Fauci said "I am Science", wasn't it obvious that he wasn't talking about science at all, but Scientism the religion?
The flu vaccine has been available at large scale since 1945. According to CDC figures, flu vaccine effectiveness has been gradually deteriorating over the last ten years, and has recently been fluctuating around 40%. Some sources claim that after several seasons of taking the flu vaxx, the marks (er... patients) are more likely to get the flu than ever.
One thing nobody can dispute: after nearly 80 years of trying, the medical profession has not succeeded in putting an end to the flu virus. Do you put the blame on the patients??
Or is it time to admit that vaxxes can't defeat rapidly evolving RNA viruses?
AFLDS made their big splash in July 2020, when the mRNA products were six months away. The message at that time was anti-lockdown and pro-HCQ. They pivoted to an anti-vaxx message in Spring 2021, while Trump continued to be pro-vaxx.
And it's also clear (to me, in retrospect) that AFLDS has always been an astroturf scam. Their affiliate doctors took cash from telemedicine patients and then never delivered the medications; sold tickets for events that never happened; and Simone Gold took the money to buy herself a $3.6 million mansion in Florida without board approval. The organization is imploding now, and the other board members are duking it out with Gold in a court battle.
All of which doesn't prove anything, one way or another, about whether the jabs are a good idea.
Yes. You do realize that all of us conspiracy theorists are always on the lookout for infiltrators, spooks, and miscellaneous "controlled opposition"? It's what we do for fun.
Steve Kirsch is a very odd character, with his connections to central bank digital currencies; and he funded the seriously flawed Boulware studies that are used to discredit HCQ and Ivermectin. He might be another snake in the grass.
Did you know that Kirsch has managed to get a debate scheduled on the topic of whether the covid jabs have killed more people than they've saved? I'm betting that the fix is in, and he's going to throw the debate to the opposition by default.

Simone Gold's commentary on vaccines and work with RFK Jr. begs to differ with your assertion that AFLDS was not anti-vax.

So we agree AFLDS = bad. That's a start. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2022/two-years-covid-vaccines-prevented-millions-deaths-hospitalizations?fbclid=IwAR354ga2S7dnoFgNBNtZAcxYME1cPCy4qgmMxL8x8pu5c3xtOrRDShzTygE
