I'll vote for someone that panders to anti-vaxxers before someone pandering to Wall Street.

Exactly, if this is the worst people can dig up on Stein, then I am okay with that. I am happy to take her pandering over the people Clinton and Trump pander to.

If she gets votes through this, fine but she isn't getting mine out of this.

Well, let's face it - she totally panders to the anti-vax crowd and we can see that on this thread.


That, and her lack of any government experience would be enough for me to pass.

If pandering to the anti-vax crowd precluded someone from being President I guess we would have no options this year.

Hillary Clinton in 2008:

"I am committed to make investments to find the causes of autism, including possible environmental causes like vaccines. … We don't know what, if any, kind of link there is between vaccines and autism — but we should find out."

Vaccination Liberation Information is an anti-vax website.

Whoops! Looks like Japan made the wrong call again.

She has found out - 2008 was then. We now know there is no conclusive evidence to connect autism to vaccines.


Studies have been done. You can look the up.


Vaccines good.

Hillary was pandering and inciting fear/hysteria. I can't vote for that.

Jill Stein said "I am not aware of any evidence linking vaccines and autism".
Very different than Hillary in 2008, yet Jill was dragged through the mud for it.

Jill IS being criticized for her continuing to pander to anti-vaxxers. Period. Not in 2008 but TODAY. That's the problem.


Everything she says is a dog whistle to that entire crowd. Big Pharma making too much money on vaccines, etc.

It's 8 years later. There have been more studies. Also, Hillary was not a candidate in the national election 8 years ago.
Jill is a medical doctor. She knows better.
