and host of the mehdi hasan show. big welcome to you. we see this anti-vax seen mandate protests there in washington, d.c. this entire mandate to challenge vaccine safety and fight mandates, it was once considered fringe, but it s not going away. in fact, it may be picking up steam. it s been going on too long for folks. do you think it s more than that? i think it s a bit of that. i think the kind of people you re seeing in d.c., screaming at school boards and in public places, this is a culture wars issue now. it s become a badge of identity. and the moment you really, really knew that was the case is when donald trump at a recent rally said, hey, get the booster and people started booing him and he said, hey, it s your choice. i won t force you. trump is seen as a suspicious figure by some on the far right.
