Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party's candidate for president in this increasingly terrifying election, has been trying to present herself as the only ethical candidate in this race. But in some recent statements, she's played to the fringy idea that children's vaccines may help cause autism. As Gizmodo points out, a Twitter user recently asked Stein directly whether vaccines cause autism. And interestingly enough, that Twitter user happened to be Colin Meloy, frontman of the Decemberists and vocal Bernie Sanders supporter.

Stein is a medical doctor. So when you're deciding how to vote in this election, you might want to keep in mind that the candidate who holds herself up as a paragon of leftist virtue is willing to play to a dangerous form of paranoia to get votes. Just saying.
