Five prominent anti-vaccine organizations that have been known to spread misleading information about the coronavirus received more than $850,000 in loans from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, raising questions about why the government is giving money to groups actively opposing its agenda and seeking to undermine public health during a critical period.
Is that a bitch or what? Money being thrown away on a bunch of anti-American lunatics.
The thing is that this could be a result to infiltration tactics by sympathisers of these same groups.
You dont need to have read Claire Wolfe or any of the other popular writers with that particular conspiracy anti-government scene to know that tactic suggests itself, its at the very least as old as Trotsky and I'm willing to bet a lot, lot older than that.
There's also the various CIA manuals which were published for audiences behind the iron curtain on hastening collapse through deliberate monkey wrenching, neglect, exploiting neglect too. A lot of bored officials arent going to miss the opportunity to make believe they are an actor on a greater stage of history. Its precisely why a lot of that material sells so well despite being pretty context specific and no way intended by its authors to be interpreted as anything other than that.
Finally, its simply money, I've encountered A LOT of these anti-vaxx organisations and their fellow travellers who could give a shit about consequences really, they are making a fast buck from a bunch of dupes and dont care where the money comes from. You'd think the state would care but you know, seems they dont.
In Claire Wolfe's earliest book she writes "get rid of your vices, get ready to take advantage of others vices", its a clear tenet of what that particular movement believes is what capitalism and freedom is/ought to be, but while a lot of people felt it could have meant selling smokes, booze, crack, meth whatever, on a sliding scale of harm, they never really recognised that bullshit theories and books can be a vice too.
