Check this out:



Basically, she's fueling anti-vax hysteria here in this vid and during the DNC, she was tweeting out some patently anti-Hillary BS. So, I simply replied that people should vaccinate their damn kids.

I got some replies from her freaking fans, of course. However, none of them will state whether or not our gawd damned vaccinations are safe or not. It's not a hard concept to understand.

But, just has wacky as the faith-based wingers are, her fans are just as faith-based wacky as well:

.@DrJillStein would try if elected @POTUS and what matters is that anti-vaxxers THINK they're unsafe. https://mobile.twitter.com/Mr_Scorpio/status/758932434008223744?p=v … #Jill2016

What the actual fuck? This is about science... Not what a bunch of granola munchers are "thinking." Because when people "think" that they shouldn't vax their damn kids, bullshit like this happens:

Tara Hills, Ottawa mom, changes anti-vaccination stand, but 7 kids still get sick

An Ottawa mother of seven "defected" from the anti-vaccination movement, but then her youngest — a 10-month-old son — contracted whooping cough before she could get all of her children their shots.

Tara Hills told CBC News that since all her children, aged 10 and under, were showing symptoms of the contagious disease, they have been advised to take antibiotics and stay inside their Kanata home for five days.

Her first three children were partially vaccinated, she said. But she decided to stop after the fourth was born because she was suspicious of the medical community.

"I just got scared. I got spooked. I thought, 'There's a lot of smoke, there must be fire.' We stopped vaccinating," she said.

Hills said she had recently started rethinking her position on vaccinations. Before her youngest was diagnosed with whooping cough, she said, she met with her family doctor to put together a "catch-up vaccination schedule" for her children.

"It's very sobering and it's very raw because we had just made a more fully informed decision about vaccinations. We had just defected from the anti-vaccination camp," she said.

We don't have the time and expense of all of our kids to be dealing with the kind of political opportunism that Jill Stein is sowing out there in the world. This is about life and death and not something to be played around with.
