They haven’t just contributed, Genx is the anti-vaccine generation.
Boomers and silent generation remember what diseases were like and get their vaccines.
Millienals are more anti-vaccine than boomers or silent generation but far less than gen-x.
Gen-x has never held itself accountable. They are worse than boomers in so many ways and some of their stupid has leaked into the infected the thinking of millennial and even gen-z generations.
Blaming Millennial and Gen Z conservatives on Gen X alone is wild. How about we focus on the billionaire propaganda machines of social media and mainstream news. Zuckerberg is a millennial and his platforms have done more damage to teenage brains than we realize yet.
Absolutely critique people and people groups when they deserve it, but this whole generational obsession is exactly what those fucking us over want. Any place to blame but on them is good for them.
I haven’t ever looked into this. But it got me curious so now I’m looking. I haven’t seen one for vaccines in general yet, but I did find one study about generational differences in opinions on the covid vaccine in particular.
Interesting read, I’m still digesting the data. Seems like, compared to Gen z and millennials, Gen x was more in favor of the covid vax in this study.
Again, yes this is just about the covid vax, but there’s probably a decent overlap in the groups
Yea I have no idea how much it skews, that’s why I made it painfully clear. But it does still talk about the generational imprinting of the major events that the various generations experienced.
There was a skew to trump among gen x ers. But richer people tend to live longer so that’s not an uncommon trend.
Imo, I would expect the antivaxxers to be more common in generations with school age kids because it is media-slop targeted at parents. I’d like to see the sources myself.
That was literally your first interaction with me in this thread.
I’m calling out Gen X for creating the anti vax movement. No one, including you has attempt to refute that fact.
Your first interaction with me was to question my ability to communicate. That is an attack on me, the messenger by the message.
It is ridiculous for anyone to claim I am attacking them personally for pointing out a characteristic of a group, even if it’s a group they identify with.
It also shows a resistance to accountability which I also mentioned.
It’s not hard to acknowledge these things are true while stating they do not apply to you personally but that’s not what you or anyone else has done.
You choose to make it about me and continue to do so and will continue to do so because you choose to do so.
No. And it may have contributed to the anti science and anti vaccine shit that has been floatung around. Just being a contrarian isnt helpful

I literally said you’re generation doesn’t hold itself accountable and you’re doing exactly that. Neat!
I’m actually Gen Z…
Tf kind of assumption is that?
Ok, simping for genx then. Cool, cool. Cool.
Fuck you as a Gen xer I resent you calling me anti vax. I am all for vaccination and all my kids are vaxed.
“Gen x is the antivax generation” literally means “gen x has a higher % of antivaxxers than other generations”

Covid-only will skew things massively. Disinformation wars really went to town on that one.

I didn’t, so you can direct that fuck right back at yourself and your terrible reading comprehension.
Your generation is the anti vax movement. That doesn’t mean everyone in the generation is anti vax.
Kind of hard to comprehend your language when you don’t seem to know how it works.
You’re inability to parse it is on you.
Your choice to attack and dimiss what I’m saying rather than seek clarification, also on you.
Anyone who cannot get over a few weird autocorrects is clearly not interested in discourse.
Have you ever heard the phrase “pot calling the kettle black”?
