Last week, Green Party nominee Jill Stein made headlines for equivocating on the safety of vaccines. “As a medical doctor, there was a time where I looked very closely at those issues, and not all those issues were completely resolved,” she told The Washington Post. “There were real questions that needed to be addressed. I think some of them at least have been addressed. I don’t know if all of them have been addressed.”

...

But Stein is not the only candidate to address vaccines this election cycle. As first pointed out by the Twitter user @mcclure11, three of the four media-receiving presidential candidates have appeared to pander to anti-vaccine advocates. Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson has tweeted “No to mandatory vaccines.” And Donald Trump linked vaccines to autism in a GOP primary debate last fall, before being corrected on-stage by the surgeon Ben Carson.

Hillary Clinton tweeted in support of vaccines in February of this year. “The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork. Let’s protect all our kids,” she said.


Four candidates, only one that's not an anti-vaxxer. I'm glad it's ours.
