I really don't understand why more people don't check Snopes first about their pet rumors. It will put a lot of it to rest.
I'm sorry, but an article which solely uses a politicians word after she got slated in the media for using dog whistle terms on vaccination doesn't cut the mustard. Please note that the snopes article admits that Stein uses dog whistle terms to pander to anti-vaxxer terms but proclaims her not a one because... reasons. The article does nothing to refute the fact that she used arguments lik "vaccines are not safe because big pharma controls the FDA (a long refuted but often repeated antu-vaxxer lie)" it just simply asserts that she's not anti-vaccination because she said so in response to media backlash to her original anti-vaxxer pandering. By the same metric we'd have to accept that Trump isn't racist or that Hitler knew nothing of the holocaust.
The snopes article is stupidly wrong.
Edit: Oh, Bella you should have read both articles before posting the snopes link. They both go into good detail, and point to other resources, showing how wrong the conclusion posted in the snopes article is. It doesn't do your argument any good when you say "lookit X" after ut is hown that X is wrong.
