You are completely correct about this “perfect storm” of such easy access to guns, the adoption of anti-vaccine sentiments by not only the public but the Secretary of DHHS (despite the fact that the link he suggests between the MMR vaccine and autism has been completely discredited, and the author of the article about the association between the MMR vaccine with autism lost his medical license) and the alignment of the anti vaccine movement with far right extremist groups.
Just a note: There are plenty of liberals who are riding the anti-vax bandwagon, including those who believe that the covid vaccines caused more long term illness and death than Covid did.
Remember that anti-vaccine rhetoric led to the dangerous occupation of downtown Ottawa (Canada’s capital city) and is widely embraced by the political right in Canada. We have an issue with our proximity to lunacy up here… 🇨🇦
Kash Patel, (FBI dir.) lauded officier David Rose, as having made the the ultimate sacrifice for the protection of others.
Patel has been a major supporter and booster of Qanon at least since joining the board of Truth Social in 2022. He has even sold supplements claiming to "detox the body due to poisoning from the Covid vaccine".
Patel, like many (RFK Jr. et al) should be tried for promoting conspiraciy theories that sent ring wing 'wingnuts' over the edge. This is just one of the many conspiracies promoted by Trump & his cabal to both enrich themselves through grift and create a backlash of conspiracy against our govt and science.
Will this county ever find their voice to stand up en masse to the BS of Trump fascism, or are Americans cowards at heart?
I agree with ya, ignorance and guns are dangerous.

Insightful analysis of this important issue.
Just a note: There are plenty of liberals who are riding the anti-vax bandwagon, including those who believe that the covid vaccines caused more long term illness and death than Covid did.
Anti-vaccine activism used to be mostly a left-wing thing, so certainly there are some on the left who buy into anti-vax conspiracy theories.
