As they say, it's "complicated".

Antivaxxers by and large, used to be highly educated people (PhDs) and leaned dem. Now it's the opposite.

The neo-cons who advanced the accusation of WMDs are now supporters of Biden. And, interestingly majorities in _both_ parties support the withdrawal from AF.

So, it's not straightforward as you may wish.

Can you back any of your assertions with any reference?

Other than everyone wanting the war in Afghanistan to end ASAP, every single one of your statements is.... Peculiar.

Anti-vaxxers were predominantly educated liberals until a few years ago and it seems with Covid it's flipped pretty fast, but with multiple outbreaks of easily preventable diseases over the last few years a lot of that crowd started seeing the value in vaccines.

His statement of neo-cons supporting Biden could definitely use some sources, at least if it's in any way that's not just "Never Trump"

I don't see much connection there. Anti-vaxxers were (and in fact still are) predominantly wealthy white people but that's a function of having an excess of free time and lack of first hand experience with much death or infectious disease, not political leanings.
