“Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” said the Republican leader, who is a polio survivor.

This is apparently the point where the "moderate" Republicans are willing to start pushing back — where they've got personal experience with just how evil a policy is.

Which is the only response to those morons is "so you'd rather your kid die than be autistic?"

Make them admit it. Preferably in front of the kid.

    There’s the issue though. They genuinely don’t believe the diseases are that bad. They don’t believe there is any risk of death, (or at least, that the risk is so low it’s negligible). So they wouldn’t admit it even if asked, because they would just say that you’re exaggerating.
