7. Who starts these things?

I would love for the FBI or some agency to investigate who the first people are to put these ideas into the public conversation. Don't take vaccines! They make you infertile! Ivermectin is good! Hospitals are bad! Liberals just want to boss you around!

And the targets all just dance along, thinking themselves "clever, and classless, and free", and passing the ideas along to everyone. But there is a source; what is it?

(I've been wondering for years who writes the stupid propaganda emails that my Fox-Trumpy sister-in-law has been sending me for years. And before that, my dad's right-wing brother used to send them to my dad; this far predates Trump.)
