Vaccines...again. Russians play both ends against the middle

So apparently the Russians have been fanning the flames of the vaccine debate (in addition to influencing elections) via Twitter with their infamous Internet Research Agency. Picking one side or the other in an attempt to normalize the debate.

Despite their actions in the election I honestly wouldn't have thought they were doing something like this but...makes sense I suppose. Wonder if they're behind some of the discord surrounding climate change, immigration, etc. Feels a little crazy to be running around screaming 'The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!' but I guess they are.

If the Russians want to play this game, it's time to get serious.
