Dan Savage is having a fight with the Greens (details here), and part of it involves a good look at their perennial candidate, “Dr” Jill Stein. Here’s a taste of her bullshit:
I don’t know if we have an “official” stance [on vaccination], but I can tell you my personal stance at this point. According to the most recent review of vaccination policies across the globe, mandatory vaccination that doesn’t allow for medical exemptions is practically unheard of. In most countries, people trust their regulatory agencies and have very high rates of vaccination through voluntary programs. In the US, however, regulatory agencies are routinely packed with corporate lobbyists and CEOs. So the foxes are guarding the chicken coop as usual in the US. So who wouldn’t be skeptical? […]
For homeopathy, just because something is untested doesn’t mean it’s safe. […]
What a fucking loon.
