Vaccination rates are plummeting at top Hollywood schools, from Malibu to Beverly Hills, from John Thomas Dye to Turning Point, where affluent, educated parents are opting out in shocking numbers (leaving some schools’ immunization rates on par with South Sudan) as an outbreak of potentially fatal whooping cough threatens L.A. like “wildfire” .............. ............... hollywoodreporter.com

Obama once a vax skeptic too (and Rand Paul): .... in 2008, then-Senator Obama didn’t think the science was “indisputable.” In fact, a few weeks before the 2008 primary he told a group of families in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, that the science was “inconclusive.”“We’ve seen just a skyrocketing autism rate. Nobody knows exactly why,” Obama said at the campaign event. “There are some people who are suspicious that it’s connected to vaccines and triggers,” Obama said. “The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it. Part of the reason I think it’s very important to research it is those vaccines are also preventing huge numbers of deaths among children and preventing debilitating illnesses like polio.” Obama said that although we can’t afford to “junk our vaccine system,” we need to figure out why there is an increase in the rate of autism. “Because if we keep on seeing increases at the rate we’re seeing, we’re never going to have enough money to provide all the special needs, special education funding that’s going to be necessary,” he said. Sen. Rand Paul (another potential 2016 GOP contender) also weighed in on the vaccination issue on Monday in an interview with CNBC: “I think vaccines are one of the greatest medical breakthroughs that we have. I’m a big fan,” Paul said. But he added that “most of them ought to be voluntary.” Sen. Paul, who is also a medical doctor, also said he has concerns. ”I’ve heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking, normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines,” he said. ........... pjmedia.com

Brumar, from Mother Jones, so not even leftists can deny it: Hillary Clinton Says All Kids Should Get Vaccinated—But She Wasn't Always So Certain But in 2008—when a widespread theory linking vaccines to autism had already been debunked—Clinton wasn't so definitive on this point. In response to a questionnaire from an autism advocacy group, she wrote, "*I am committed to make investments to find the causes of autism, including possible environmental causes like vaccines…*We don't know what, if any, kind of link there is between vaccines and autism - but we should find out." Last night, my wife was telling me how impressed she was at Hillary for making a strong statement for vaccination and the science behind it. I told her I wasn't as impressed, since it seemed all too convenient for her to come out and make a stance now. I guess I was right. Hillary just says whatever the polls want her to say. #ReadyForHillary #GrabYourWallet Tenchusatsu
