Filthy diseased Canadian fundies spread disease in US.

In a previous thread I pointed out how the anti-science anti-immunization movement was largely pushed by the religious right but people told me I was wrong. Clearly, I'm not.

You hug Ben?

No, he was confessing his eternal love for Oerdin.

extreme right and left are almost the same, except that the left would love to make love and the right would love to make war.

Imagine that, another Oersin own goal

Patty proves he's a moron as usual. It has been well documented that these are Christian fundamentalists who believe in praying away sickness because god will protect them so getting vaccinated is a sign of lack of faith.

I'd call that fundamentalist.

"Last year, Fraser Health alerted healthcare providers to a new outbreak of measles going on in the Netherlands: "As of June 12, 2013 there were at least 30 cases of measles across the Netherlands, predominantly based in fundamentalist Protestant communities that do not believe in immunization." The same release also mentioned the 2008 mumps outbreak as specific to Dutch Reformed-affiliated religious communities in Chilliwack."

From your own link, numb nuts: "And the survey found anti-vaccine views are more common among Republicans."

[Dinner]

DD's link is the gift which keeps on giving (much like the diseases spread by religious fundamentalists

"In 2009 the Pew Research Center found almost 50% more Democrats than Republicans said they would take the swine flu vaccine." It goes on to say that Republicans are twice as likely to be anti-science, anti-vaccine morons, so, yes, there is a strong preference for this type of stupidity on the right. Also, as I pointed out before and which you deliberately ignored, when someone like Jenny McCarthy comes forward spewing anti-science nonsense the main stream of the left wing instantly slaps them down for being fools where as on the right wing being anti-science is the main stream so they embrace the lunatic fringe. You can keep trying to paint this any way you want but those facts won't go away simply because you don't like them.

You fail statistics.

What both surveys show is that antivaccination views are held by just a small minority of people. As the Yale-Harvard report puts it, "a very large supermajority believes that the benefits of childhood vaccinations outweigh their risks."

@ Oerdin: The idiocy is largely non-ideological. Only partisan tools such as yourself would seek to pin it on one side of the political spectrum in order to make yourself feel better.

@ Oerdin. It's a small minority of people. What does it matter what political party they support?

Nope. Not buying it. One side kicks their stupid hippies and tells everyone they're morons while the other side promotes their anti-science idiots and attempts to make them mainstream. You can't say those two approaches are the same because they are fundamentally different even if you don't want to admit it.

22% of Repubicans is not an insignificant minority. Yes, it is a minority but a large minority and worse it is mostly the religious right which means it is the very group which has the single most influence on the Republican Party. They are the masters all Republicans must pander to if they want to politically survive.
