Yes, being associated with kooky Californians is a stretch, but they might see it as an extension of their support for religious exemptions which CA banned. Still they're in company with left wingers like Robert Kennedy, Jr and actress Jessica Biel (married to Justin Timberlake) who were recently in Sacramento lobbying the CA legislature against the bill to tighten up medical exemptions.

I've only known one person who admitted to being anti-vax. Poorly educated dumbass. Very much influenced by social media. He claimed "personal beliefs" which meant he read about it on FB. He honestly had no defense when I asked why he didn't vaccinate his four young kids.
