I'm in two anti-vax / "natural parenting" groups on Facebook, AMA

Note: I'm not anti-vax at all. I'm reading these posts though and seeing the kind of misinformation that gets spread.

It's not just anti-vax -- it's pretty horrible seeing posts like "mamas, what's the best way to reverse my kid's teeth decay? ps: we don't use fluoride" with a photo of a kid, teeth barely out of the gums, with pretty awful tooth decay.

I've heard transphobia and antisemitic conspiracy theories are rampant in the anti-vax community. Is this your impression as well?
