False equivalences are a staple of right wing discourse. Anything that contradicts antivax propaganda must be an equal and opposite propaganda.
The idea that there might actually be a right and wrong answer, and that they are once again in the wrong, isn't permitted. Science is merely an opinion and anything you say must be propaganda.
And just to predict the inevitable false equivalence: no, not everything the fringe left says is correct. But denying any science that doesn't fit the ideology is a mainstream position for the right, made into official party platform and repeated by politicians at the highest levels. There is no equivalent on the left.
In Europe pushing Coronavirus vaccines as a magic solution while downplaying potential (and later real) side-effects, defaming critics of one specific vaccine as anti-vaccine in general and cultivating an all-around attitude of suspicion and distrust towards those that criticized the measures enacted by the government.
The latter is particularly insidious as can be seen also in the HN comments associating Coronavirus vaccine criticism with right-wing politics - which by the way is a normal and necessary part of the political spectrum.
