At this point, he was a symptom. He was pushing a narrative those people already wanted to hear. They’d likely still be the way they are. They’d have found their excuse somewhere. And by now, anyone not immediately, loudly, aggressively pushing back on the bullshit narrative are bad actors with ill intentions

He was doing it to make money. I don’t think it’s sufficient to call him a symptom. I’d argue he was one step away from bringing it to the mainstream. (That celebrity was responsible for making it mainstream imo)

What I mean is that whether he existed or not, something was bound to mainstream the antivax movement
