    My recollection is that the shift started pre-covid. Anti-vaxxers were originally predominantly left leaning but I think it hit the 50/50 range somewhere around 2012-2014. At least in the US. Trump shifted it even more, then covid+Trump just completely inverted where it had been a generation prior.
