Maple Jordan and the Anti-Vaxx Position - part 4

I go over the drama surrounding Andrew Wiggins' no-vaxx position and the impact of that, and how this related to the broader anti-vaxx paradigm and also to the specific nature of... black paranoia and/or conspiracy theory?

In conclusion, I think Wiggins ends up the personification of the covid anti-vaxx movement, not willing or likely even able to articulate his case against getting vaccinated, so he ends up looking like a stupid, ignorant clown. And he's having a disproportionately negative impact on his community, which is his team, the organization and its fans. This is reflected in the anti-vaxx community as well, unable to make a serious, coherent fact- or evidence-based case for the danger of vaccines, and creating the scenario which is resulting in the government overreach they are opposed to. This simply isn't the trench to die in, fellas, there are bigger and more important issues to be concerned about - it's as if a trap was laid for the alternative right and they stepped right in it, as was always going to be the case with their preexisting "it's all fake, it's all a goverment/illuminati/freemasonic plot!" dumbass mentality.
