Left wing anti-vaxxers are a nearly inconsequential fringe of weirdo hippie-dippies or a random celebrity that smoked too many drugs. They have been this tiny group of outliers that no one gave or gives a shit about other than to prop them up as part of a "both sidez!!!" narrative.

The right wing anti-vax movement is highly politicized and intertwined with the larger right wing faux populist conspiracy crowd and serviced by a healthy community of online grifters.

You can't honestly compare the two.

I feel like you missed my overall point.

The person was asking another poster why they associated being vegan with being liberal, as they see it as apolitical, and I pointed out that people have grown to see it that way because it is right-wingers who predominately shit on anybody and thing vegan-related.

It's not only them who do it, but they are the loudest voice.

That was the only connection my anti-vaxx comment had towards it. I was by no means saying they were equivalent, just that even though there are left-wing anti-vaxxers, it's right-wingers who have let it consume them to a point it's a part of their very being and so we associate the current COVID anti-vaxx movement with right-wingers, even though they are not exclusively the only people with that mentality.
