Anti-vax is now the mainstream GOP position.
They’re starting with COVID jabs because they’re new. And media has been willing to carve out an exception for skeptics of the COVID jabs as though they’re not anti-vaxxers.
But they are and they’re coming after all vaccines.

5 years of the COVID-19 pandemic: The origins of a social catastrophe
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the incapacity of capitalism to deal with the problems of mass society, and that this social system is in an advanced state of regression.

Les racines du capitalisme étant celles qui ont dominé la réponse médicale et sociale à la pandémie, on ne s’étonnera pas qu’elles se soient conjuguées dans ce désastre, qui a aussi nourri l’élection de Trump. Un regard parfait sur ces cinq années par @evanblake17.bsky.social

Trump's plans to eviscerate public health, epitomized in the nominations of Bhattacharya & RFK Jr, will provoke enormous opposition. This must be developed into a conscious struggle for socialist public health, uniting workers & principled scientists globally.

Trump nominates vicious opponent of public health Jay Bhattacharya to head the NIH
Bhattacharya’s appointment is a clear signal that the ruling class aims to demolish the last remnants of public health still standing after five years of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Another way of framing it:
Bhattacharya and his Great Barrington Declaration co-authors were providing scientific cover for an economic agenda supported by right-wing business interests.
They wanted mass infection of the population to keep the economy rolling. They never cared about the elderly.

Note to journalists: important to communicate that the stated aim of GBD was to have a massive epidemic (immediately before vaccines became available), and also somehow keep it away from older population at higher risk (which would be about 25% of UK population if take age 60 as cutoff)

Ashish Jha was selected by Biden to be the “Covid Response Coordinator” precisely because he supported the pro-corporate GBD policy of mass infection. It’s no coincidence that he’s now endorsing Trump’s ghouls.
I wrote about Jha’s appointment here in March 2022:
