Isn't misinformation bad in general? I don't care if it's left leaning or right leaning.

Traditionally, antivax was left leaning misinfo. All those anti polio or anti measles vaccines people were left wing, and that was bad.

If Twitter is the new breeding grounds for misinformation campaigns in general, how is that a good thing?

I know that the right-and-left flip sides every couple of decades. But even knowing the history of this phenomenon, the COVID19 flip from left-wing anti-vax idiots into right-wing anti-vax idiots caught me off guard.

Its one thing when you read about old political issues from 50+ years ago that talk about these obvious bouts of hypocrisy. Its totally different though when it happens before your eyes live.
