South Park kinda predicted current anti-vaxxers

[vercetti2021]

Makes me wonder if they actually would run around squealing like a pig

1. South Park has been prescient in numerous episodes over the decades.

I can also recall where they have reacted very quickly to current events. There was event that occurred on a Tuesday and by Wednesday night the entire episode revolved around the event. I was impressed that they could pull it together so quickly.

2. The "Southpark" guys don' need no stinkin' production time.

They have a pact with Satan! (and Santa)

8. Because they operate a sweatshop for animators

That studio is not a fun place to work.

7. Yeah they are fast

Like I think the event was Trump actually winning and they didn't expect it. So they had to rewrite everyone and redo it fast.

3. I stopped watching when they referred to Hillary Clinton as a turd sandwich in 2016 election..

4. I can watch almost anything, but not that show.

Too cold and cynical and mean for me.

6. Literally no one is safe on that show

They make fun of everyone. It's just satire really which is fine. They mocked everyone except really Obama didn't get too much shit on that show.

5. Was it really prescient? Anti vaxxers

have been around for a long time. They got louder and bolder decades ago with the claim that vaccines cause autism.

As more vaccines got added to the mix that children need before starting school, parents began questioning the need for and safety of so many shots. A lot of people turned to a "natural" approach to disease prevention and exposure. Republican politicians have validated and appealed to that group for political and personal financial reasons, but the anti vax movement was around long before covid.
