Jill Stein is "just asking questions..."

"Just asking questions" is a method conspiracy theorists and other kooks use to make really wild accusations, and Jill Stein doesn't disappoint.
"Oh but ARE vaccinations safe?"

Yes they ARE, asshole!

1. She's not "just asking questions". She's sowing doubt and fear. What a woman!

And she wants to inspire our nation with hope and change?? Her version of "hope and change" is as ugly and dark as DumbTrump's.

Just asking.

And, yes, her "questions" about vaccines are just as loathsome as would be the question posted in the title line of this response. Let's not kid ourselves that there's anything innocent or non-disgusting about her "question." At least the question in my title line won't cost lives, as does questioning the use and safety of vaccines.

Anyone who takes her seriously is someone I wouldn't want as an ally.

9. That same strategy is frequently used on DU, by the way

In anti-vax discussions, in anti-GMO discussions, and in all manner of "alt-med" discussions.

"Why not let people have the information?" ask the questioners. "Why not let them decide for themselves?"


Stein is a dangerous asshole and should be called out as such. And let us also call out those same tactics when used by others.

That proves immunizations are safe, then you really are not competent to have the letters after your name. Quit calling yourself a damn doctor.
