I can't take anything she says seriously any longer after this [0]. It just boggles my mind. [0]: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/07/

  Did you read the article you posted? Your mind seems rather easily boggled. tldr: jill stein is not an anti-vaxxer, quite the opposite, and is primarily concerned with the perceived corrupting influence of lobbying on the FDA.

  What is your objection? Are you against vaccinations? Jill is a Harvard medical grad and has some experience in the matter. When she says that vaccinations are "absolutely critical in ridding us of the scourge of many diseases" you should listen.

  I watched the piece and I'm honestly wondering what your objection is. I assume that you, like me, are very much in favor of vaccination. She clearly is as well, but 1) has concerns that large portions of the American public don't trust the agency that regulates vaccines and 2. thinks that all medicines (and vaccines) should be carefully studied for safety. She also rightly points out that mercury was removed from most vaccines a number of years ago because there were other safer and more effective adjuvants. She makes no reference to the autism myth and says that she thinks vaccines are a critical part of public health (or something to that effect). I apologize if I have misinterpreted your distaste for her, I just wanted to say that as a strongly pro-vaccination person, I don't really disagree with anything from that clip. (I also have never read / seen any interview material from her prior to this article and discussion, so I'm not defending her as a supporter.)
