[Not the Onion] Vaccine skepticism has spread to pets. A study said 40% of people thought vaccines could cause dogs to develop autism.
In the new study, the authors surveyed 2,200 people and found 53% had some concern about the safety, efficacy or necessity of canine vaccines. Nearly 40% were concerned that vaccines could cause dogs to develop autism, a theory without any scientific merit.
The poll, released Tuesday by The Economist / YouGov, found that 52 percent of Republicans agreed that Russia was operating under Communism, despite the country not being Communist since the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. Among all Americans, 42 percent thought that Russia was Communist, including 44 percent of Democrats.

And we want these people to have a say in the means of production....
Help! I can feel the liberalism in me reforming!

No shit, less than 3 hours ago at work, I heard a lady talking about not vaccinating her animals because it gives them cancer. I have previously heard the same woman talking about taking ivermectin. This story checks all the way out.
It's terrifying how fast vaccine skepticism has spread through the population, and how uninterested liberals are in counteracting it in any meaningful concerted manner.
seen several write-ups (and I think BE, whatever you think of him, just released a video on this too recently) that argue that liberals can't actually combat conspiracy theories like this because they arise from the difference in the propaganda they spew and the reality that people can actually see in their own lives, and so they come up with all these conspiracy theories as a result to cope. Think that explains most of it.
Edit: not really much of a write up, but this is the first thing I found searching through "conspiracy" on lemmygrad so you can at least know I'm not making up people writing about this: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/197287
