Anti-Vaxxers:

1) Chris Christie
2) Rand Paul

Pro-Science:

1) Ben Carson
2) Bobby Jindal

This could end up being fun.

2. I'm delighted to see them take up the antivax cause

because a lot of low information people who were smart enough not to want their kids to risk death from preventable illnesses are going to start to wonder what else they've been lying about.

Morons. All they saw was another voter bloc to be exploited. They didn't consider that even in California, home to the antivax nutjobs, the rate is still over 92%

4. Point taken. I could do without RFK Jr. and his ridiculous pet theories.

Fortunately, he doesn't get the kind of respect the Kennedy name used to confer.

But yes, we do have some housecleaning of our own to do. And quite a bit of it.
