How does someone like Brand find his way lumped in with the alt-right? His views always seemed strongly antithetical to alt-right, where was very anti-authoritarian, pro-progressive...? Has this changed in recent years?

It's absolutely fascinating that not wanting to vaccinate is now tied to conspiracy theories.

There are perfectly valid reasons for not wanting to inject vaccines into your body. It's your body. You decide what goes in it.
