Stewart: Vaccine ignorance creates strange bedfellows, uniting bad ideas on both the left and right

In which Jon Stewart discovers there’s no “red” or “blue” America: just stupidity on all sides.

The Great Vaccination Debates of 2015 have revealed a curious alliance–with the wealthy liberal types of California, and a small array of Republican politicians, all coming out in support of parental “choice” when it comes to vaccination.

Stewart first mocked the supposedly “educated” California liberals for practicing “mindful stupidity,” and ranted, “Look, California, if your crazy wellness ideas only affected you, I’d be fine with that. Have all the fair trade organic espresso enemas you want…But your choice puts other people in jeopardy.”

Then he turned to the likes of Rand Paul and Chris Christie, who have raised eyebrows by suggesting that not vaccinating is a valid choice.

“This is very interesting,” Stewart remarked. “Vaccine ignorance seems to have created some strange hospital bedfellows—uniting the fringe of left and right.”
