Anyone else feel like these kinds of things are the state sponsored bot farms at work? I mean how better to sow chaos than convince stupid parents that the measles are a good thing?
Certainly not. Russia has created some fantastic things, art and music and literature and has many fantastic people too. Its politics are just highly unfortunate and it’s well documented the Russian government has used social media to create disinformation campaigns. It is not the Russian population’s fault in any way. When I think of the ones who protested the Ukrainian war despite the fact it might get them imprisoned or their families killed I’m blown away at their bravery.
“The Internet Research Agency (IRA; Russian: Агентство интернет-исследований, romanized: Agentstvo internet-issledovaniy), also known as Glavset (Russian: Главсеть),[1] and known in Russian Internet slang as the Trolls from Olgino (Russian: ольгинские тролли) or Kremlinbots (Russian: кремлеботы[2]), was a Russian company which was engaged in online propaganda and influence operations on behalf of Russian business and political interests.[3] It was linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former Russian oligarch who was leader of the Wagner Group, and based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.”
Ahh yes, Boiron, the company that doesn’t tell their customer’s their number 1 product is duck liver, because if they did that, they would have to explain they are only pretending it is duck liver.

Russian state sponsored bot farms, yeah.

Not everything but they are actively doing a damn lot of negative things. Including a shit ton of bot networks and internet trolling
For anyone unfamiliar:
Doesn’t need to be state sponsored, there are companies making good money from those legalized pseudoscientific scams, see Boiron and Weleda.
