No I'm saying many liberals are anti-vaccination, not that no conservatives are.

The evidence is that the anti-vaccination movement is stronger in liberal areas then in conservative ones, but that's not very strong evidence since all areas have both conservatives and liberals, and its possible that conservative people in liberal areas are for some reason particularly against vaccinations. The evidence about people themselves rather than areas is limited and mixed, which is why I primarly went forth with the other points anti-GMO (or even wanting any food that "contains DNA" to be labeled), supporting or believing in astrology, "healing crystals", homeopathy etc.

I'd add

1 - Belief that organic food as objectively been shown to be healthier and safer, and even that any non-organic food is dangerous.
2 - Belief that imposing endless extra costs on companies doesn't harm employment or workers income.
3 - Lack of understanding and over-concern about non-ionizing radiation (to be fair I just have a feeling that this is more associated with liberals but no actual data, I might be wrong on this one)
4 - Apparent belief that both sexes, all races and ethnic groups etc. are essentially equal in ability and desire to participate in all areas since any disparate numbers (except when its whites and maybe Asians who are underrepresented) in an area are considered evidence of racial discrimination.
5 - Statements about inevitable world wide mass starvation being just around the corner have been much more common from the left.
