This is my impression.

It's more about tribalism and (to rob the term) "virtue signaling" than anything.


There is a niche group really obsessed with autism link conspiracies (and I'm sympathetic to that if they have a struggling neurodivergent kid; its a thing that really dominates their life), but the vast majority of antivax is simple "my side" signaling now.
