Trying to lump them together only shows your true motifs for your propaganda.

Have a nice life.

Why Vaccine and GMO Denial Should be Treated Equally

The cult of anti-GMO: A lot like the cult of antivaccine

10 reasons why the Anti-GMO and the Anti-vaccination movement are a lot alike.

And here are your friends at March Against Monsanto promoting anti-vaccine nonsense.

And that's not the only comparison that is apt:

Anti-GMO activists and climate change deniers – no science
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/8/20/1414008/-Anti-GMO-activists-and-climate-change-deniers-no-science

Considering the amount of hyperbolic propaganda you have posted recently, and have failed to support with any shred of a scientific consensus, much less a shred of anything, you really shouldn't be accusing others of pushing ideological propaganda.

Those stances really are the antithesis of true progressive politics. The poster who responded to Archae, for example, has made it clear that his stances are based in ideology that he can't be bothered to justify, but he'll demonize others without warrant at the drop of a hat. This is not ok.

I looked at this guy's Facebook page.

Inaddition to all he slams in the paragraph below, he's heavy into chemtrail bullshit too.

Billy DeMoss is a California-based chiropractor who seems to have an unconditional love for all things pseudoscience and free of evidence, from cleansing to antivaccine conspiracies. He is, in particular, a big fan of Andrew Wakefield, going so far as to calling Wakefield his “mentor”. For that, DeMoss argues, he is targeted by Big Pharma. They are desperate to hide the truth and deliberately poisoning us (oral contraceptives, for instance, is a conspiracy to give women breast cancer), and they are out to get him, and … oh, well – let’s just let him tell us in his own words:

“… do you always believe the official story spoon fed to you by the ‘big brother’ controlled media?...I was just thinking still to this day that no one has ever shown US a video of a Boeing hitting the Pentagon?...especially with all the surveillance around the area and people's video prowess... and I am sure a terrorist could definitely fly a jet with such precision as to not even scrape the ground at 500mph...and of course the plane evaporated on contact...Oh yes I am sure a Boeing could fit in that huge hole and what happened to building 7?...one of 3 steel framed buildings that collapsed(were actually demoed) from fire when not one steel frame building has EVER collapsed in history...so go ahead and believe that EBOLA is coming to the US just like H1N1,SARS,BERD FLU caused massive epidemics that we prevented by yet another moronic vaccine...believe the CDC that vaccines DON’T cause Autism and that vaccines REALLY make you healthier...keep chanting the mantra ‘vacines DON’T cause Autism,vaccines DON’T cause Autim,vaccines DON;T cause Autism...believe in Sandy Hoax and so many other stories that are sold as REAL news to create FEAR and sell an AGENDA for the NWO...keep vaccinating yourselves,use that fluoride for you dental health,eat GMO fake food,watch lots of TV,do as your doctor says and take your dope and NEVER change your lifestyle because ALL your problems are genetic...keep it up the agenda is working very well at dumbing you dumber!!!”

Even though my DTP is updated on schedule, I still have to take a prophylactic course of antibiotics because I'm in the group that couldn't withstand infection.

I'm now recovering from severe parotiditis. I knew for sure it was bacterial - I had my measles, mumps and rubella titres checked this year, and only my mumps immunity from my late '60s immunization was retained. Since I'm in California, I got an MMR.
