Carson goes anti-vax. Rubio jokes about the drought? Can he not smell the smoke?

We all knew about Trump's anti-vaccine lunacy, but Ben Carson decided to join him tonight, saying:

“We have extremely well-documented proof that there’s no autism associated with vaccinations — however, it is true that we are probably giving way too many in far too short a time.”

Bzzt. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Oh, you're wrong about most everything else, too, but using a classic anti-vaccine trope? Really?

Oh, wait. It looks like Carson has been peddling woo for years.

Oh, and, yeah, Rubio. Your idiocy clearly knows no bounds. Sheesh.

That's a lie, not to mention an ad hominem argument. Is that marketing, PR, advertising or branding? proverbialwisdom Sep 2015 #11

Anyone who still pushes the completely bogus vaccines-autism argument is an anti-vaxxer. NuclearDem Sep 2015 #17

Not only does it provide the same nutrient base of the diets of Adam and Eve, but this is similar to the food of God that Jesus provided his followers.

After using Mannatech, I feel that everyday I am closer to meeting with my Maker. What a blissful day that will be! Thank you, Dr. Carson.

P. S. After hearing your view about vaccines, I will make sure my children never get another. I sure wouldn't want them to grow up to be stupid!

coupled to a fundamentalist/tunnel-belief personality. The things that come out of him are pretty amazing.

FWIW, he had time to realize that in his eagerness to denounce the evils of government he'd come out pro on the vaccine-autism link, and he did walk it back soon after.

to see that they have gone completely overboard.

perfect example what is the risk to a baby of getting hepatitis B? There is no risk to a baby. Hepatitis B comes later in life usually through IV drug use or through sexual transmission. They give it to babies because they don't think adults will come in and get the vaccine. But it's our choice to make not the governments. I don't want hep b vaccine and I would not want my kid getting one either.

The schedule is also the most intensive of any country and way more than what we used to do when we were kids. There's profit in this for certain companies. I'm sorry if you're not willing to make the connection but it's there.

Why Infants Should Receive the Hepatitis B Vaccine at Birth
http://shotofprevention.com/2010/05/06/why-infants-should-receive-the-hepatitis-b-vaccine-at-birth/

Public health matters. If you don't protect your kids, you put other people at risk. It's not ok.

Also, in 1983, kids received 15,094 antigens in their vaccines, covering seven diseases. As of 2010, they get 419 antigens, covering 14 diseases. In other words, please don't push bad anti-vaccine propaganda.
