    I think you’d find higher rates among Christian Conservatives and they’re a pretty anti-drug group.

      I never said that’s the only group though.

      It is just surprising to me that you would get concerns about injecting yourself with not well tested medicine from that specific group.

        I find it entirely unsurprising.

        The amount of vegan, organic, health-obsessed, non-GMO twats I know, who happily snort coke or do ecstacy during the weekend is huge.

        I can only surmise they’re not true believers, they’re just boring people who think going on about it makes them more interesting than they actually are.

        It’s just that out of the various things about Russell Brand, the recreational drug user is going to be one of the lesser reasons why he went into anti-vaxx territory.

        Not that he’s a Christian Conservative but he’s adopted a parallel to their ways of regarding medical science, where it’s a lot of sealioning questions, little actual medical journal research, and all the confidence of a SAHM Facebook mom who gets all her information from Facebook.
