Democratic candidate Marianne Williamson is backpedaling on vaccine comment
SalonMarianne Williamson, the author and activist who is running for president as a Democrat in 2020, is backpedaling on recent comments she made that critics interpreted as anti-vaxxer. "You’re talking a lot about children of America, the children, how much you care about children," Meghan McCain, a co-host of "The View," told Williamson. "It's not that I'm okay, I haven't changed since yesterday," Williamson said. "I misspoke on that one sentence but I will say this, if I were President of the United States — when I'm President of the United States — there will be a commission of scientists talking about, learning, so that the American people see what's going on with these vaccines who are not paid by Big Pharma." "Any decline in immunization rates will result in an increase in vaccine-preventable diseases," Gary Freed, professor of health management and policy at the University of Michigan, told Salon by email.
