They are just not aware that they have this fear and can’t therefore understand and work on it effectively. Some people just seem to be stuck in emotional toddlerhood.

    They started out with good intentions, like maga started out with rage about corruption. Then both movements spiraled into insanity with Russian help.

      It absolutely didn’t start with good intentions. Antivaxxers are like kids who believe in Santa. Immaturity after a specific age is not tolerable and it didn’t spiral into insanity with Russian help. You’re placing undue emphasis here. The American brain, as well as whatever the fuck the Euros have is homemade. Any manipulation by Russians is abuse of the fact that people are extremely miseducated and frankly antagonised by their governments to begin with.
