    The rise of the anti-vacc movement fascinates me (to be clear I deeply disagree with them). Something about the internet and the 21st century has unmoored so many people from critical thinking skills. Maybe its just revealing so many people never had them to start with.

      There have always been people who had questionable critical thinking skills. The problem is that never before in human history would those people have such cheap and easy access to a worldwide audience before.
