do you have any evidence that andrew wakedield’s 1998 paper, in the lancet, was backed and funded by the kremlin? That doesn’t seem to be in any of the contemporary reporting on the paper?
blaming russia without evidence for all things is the one thing that did start during trump’s campaign.
None of these mention andrew wakefield, and they’re all from two decades after his study, that started the modern antivax movement, was published.
The modern anti vaccine movement was not started by russians. The fact that russians chose to join in two decades later does not make them responsible for its origins.
Those were backed and funded by the Kremlin.
As was Trump.
