This is really scary.
You mean people would actually watch that video and somehow agree with its fundamental premise?
The conflation of "liberal values" and possible issues with vaccination is mind-numbing.
Debate "values" - liberal or otherwise. Ask pointed questions about vaccinations. But let's not strive into Rod Serling territory and claim that support for mandatory vaccinations and a woman's right to choose are anything but mutually exclusive.

ps. Spell check needed at 1:03 of the video.

As a professional of public health and having seen what a lack of vaccinations can/is doing to a population I can say that this clearly is an example of how political ideology causes a lack of logical sense.
And I guess because I don't look at the world through a political lense I am failing to see how vaccinations are a liberal/progressive thing.
Is the conservative viewpoint that we should have the right as individuals to risk the entire country's health status to that of a third world country?
I ask this because with vaccines they are only truly effective in ending disease if 93-95% of the population gets them. Anything less than that and most diseases can maintain a resevior in a population and continue to cause outbreaks. You can clearly see the effects of this from the recent measles outbreak that started in California.
It is truly sad that anyones political viewpoints can blind them to reality even when that reality is playing out right in front of their face (i.e. measles outbreak). I feel sorry for anyone that refuses to acknowledge real facts when they counter their political ideals.
