I tend to agree with you. His anti-vax commitment probably influenced her. Although, since they are so simpatico, it's likely he found a fellow traveler to connect with, so they were a matched anti-vax pair.

One more thing that struck me. His reference early in the article that he found that women were "playing games" in his early dating efforts after his divorce. WTF does that mean? Were they not fellow RWNJs? Were they "defund the police" sorts? Were they liberals? Were they not Christians, or Christian enough? Or maybe that just found him objectionable for any number of reasons. That apparently means they get the "playing games" descriptor. Sounds vaguely misogyinistic. If you don't hit it off with someone, so be it. That happens. As in, hey, how'd that date go? Okay, but we didn't hit it off. End of. But "playing games"? Again, WTF does that mean? I noticed that the article did not allow comments.
