Feeling despair? So did this guy in 1875, who couldn't believe there were STILL anti-vaxxers:
"One might suppose that the popular prejudice against vaccination had died out by this time, considering that it has been practiced for nearly a century"

I still think the best way for electeds & the media to counter right wing messaging is to just call them fucking morons, weirdos & crackpots. Explaining facts & details is boring. "Senator whatshisface wants to abolish the FDA? That's because he's a fucking nutjob." And leave it at that.
