Daily Beast -The anti-vaxxer disease is now a Republican epidemic.
What was once the provenance of a few fringe weirdos—mostly on the loony left—has now migrated into the mainstream. At least three Republican candidates for governor—in Oklahoma, Oregon, and Connecticut—are now open skeptics of requiring vaccinations for school kids.

What a rude awful opinionated screed. Always focusing on Wakefield and his shoddy science is like tRump complaining about the Clintions after over a year of occupying the Oval Office. The Clintons are corrupt, but it's a waste of time to obsess over it, unless it's part of an attention getting distraction, like it is with tRump.
Vaccines are profitable. Big Pharma has a financial incentive to keep that gravy train rolling, especially since Big Pharma is exempt from liability when their vaccines harm, maim, or kill. Reducing all vaccine skepticism to an Autism/Wakefield paranoia is dishonest, but it is successful in painting vaccine skeptics as worthy of ridicule, and keeping those Big Pharma profits coming in.
If vaccines are safe, why did Big Pharma demand that Congress absolve them of any liability when vaccines harm or kill? The NVIC court has awarded 3.6 Billion since 1986, and we the taxpayers are covering the costs of Big Pharma's malpractice. Remember that a majority those "peer reviewed" pro-vaccine studies are paid for by Big Pharma, and "peer reviewed" by Doctors and Scientists friendly to, or in the pocket of Big Pharma. Big Pharma gets to cherry pick the data they supply, and the only ones who physically ever test these vaccines are Big Pharma. I don't understand how people can be skeptical about Big Pharma, and understand the corruption involved in Big Pharma, yet be uncritically supportive of vaccination. That is a advertising and public relations triumph for Big Pharma.
There are more and better concerns about vaccination then flogging the Wakefield dead horse, like vaccines and their relationship to auto immune diseases.
