#EDUCAMcGillUniversityJonathanJarry "What does an antivaxxer and a far-right activist have in common? If the thought of someone who opposes vaccines brings to mind tie-dye shirts and tree hugging, your answer may be 'nothing.' But clearly, some do have a commonality: protesting the COVID-19 lockdowns. Coverage from these protests often show people holding signs slapped with antivaccine rhetoric next to pro-militia activists and white supremacists. This phenomenon can also be seen among homeschoolers according to Anne Borden, a pro-vaccine homeschooler who fights against phony autism cures. 'The first antivaxxers I ever met were left-leaning unschoolers when I was an unschooled teenager. They were very much a part of the early efforts to 'stop the Food and Drug Administration' from regulating alternative medicine. What has happened in recent years is that this demographic of homeschooling is being now recruited by the radical right on social media, and some are turning right. And this is very concerning.'" https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-pseudoscience/anti-vaccine-movement-2020 #ConditionVirusCOVID19PandemicMitigationLockdown #SlurWhiteSupremacy #CharacterisationVigilanteAndOrMilitia #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #SlurWhiteSupremacy #IRLHomeschoolerAnneBorden #OrgUSFedFoodAndDrugAdministrationFDA from regulating alternative medicine.
