When you ignore and go against the scientific evidence in order to endorse false fears about vaccines, you are an anti-vaxxer. Whether you call yourself that or not.

None of which I ever did. How do you call someone “anti-science” who has called for more scientific investigation? Slavish devotion to anything Big Pharma says does not make a person “pro-science,” especially since the opioid crisis & predatory Pharma practices associated with it

I mean, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like slavish devotion to science is actually a net positive about now.

I’m OK with that. The point is that there’s a difference between slavish devotion to science and slavish devotion to Big Pharma.

You claimed people you know became autistic from vaccinations... cnn.com/2019/08/15/politics/…

And if anything is going “against science” right now, it’s someone encouraging people to show up at the polls! I thought we were all supposed to try to stay home. Look, we should dial this back now. Where we agree is that the Democrat must win in 2020.

Can I just say, as someone who is pro-vaccination and pro-Biden (since those seem to be today’s dividing lines) I stand with Marianne here. She explained her uncertainty about vaccinations years ago, and interviewed someone who had those views nearly a decade ago.

Having gone back and listened to that radio show (during the summer, when this came to light) I don’t think Marianne did anything wrong. She sounded to me like a radio presenter listening to her guest.

She said she knew people who had that view! Anyway, it’s also worth saying that we should focus on how people feel now... if we only considered candidates’ past positions, we wouldn’t be able to support ANYONE for ANYTHING 😅

She said many of these things in the past few years. Casting doubt on the efficacy and safety of vaccinations is anti-vaxx. And it’s dangerous.
