Anti-vax stupidity does seem to extend to both the left and the right, in various pockets.

The GMO thing is a fucking pathetic argument, though. Oh, gosh! Those crazy liberals want to label what foods are genetically modified! How awful! That would have the same exact effect on consumer behavior that labeling stuff as organic currently does: the average person looks at both, sees the "franken-food" costs half the price of the "pure" food, and goes w/ the former.

Way more destructive is the Republican war on science in areas such as climate change, funding for research on solar and wind energy, and most recently, this:

Lawrence O. Gostin, a professor specializing in public health law at Georgetown University, said the new restrictions would devastate crucial medical research.

It will affect everything from cures for cancer and H.I.V. through to Parkinsons and dementia, Mr. Gostin said. The ban on fetal tissue research is akin to a ban on hope for millions of Americans suffering from life-threatening and debilitating diseases. It will also severely impact the National Institutes of Health, universities and other researchers, who will lose key funding for their laboratories and their vital work.


But yeah, throw a fit over people wanting a label added to food.

In a topic about conservatives being anti-science, you try to play a game of whataboutism with the GMO shit, and when I point out conservative anti-science views that are far more damaging to society, you try to weakly counter by accusing me of whataboutism.

Uh huh.
