One of the disordered counterpublics Reform has pulled into its MAGA-style coalition is the anti-vaxx movement. What unites these counterpublics is a deep distrust of anyone outside the in-group who challenges their worldview. If you want an RFK Jr style figure running UK health policy, vote Reform.
This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4
