Is she anti-vax, or was that fake news?

Seems like Clintonite Liberals distorted a quote to try to sabotage her in 2016. To quote some article I found (who also couldn't find a concrete origin of the claim):
“I think there’s no question that vaccines have been absolutely critical in ridding us of the scourge of many diseases — smallpox, polio, etc. So vaccines are an invaluable medication,” Stein said. “Like any medication, they also should be — what shall we say? -- approved by a regulatory board that people can trust. And I think right now, that is the problem. That people do not trust a Food and Drug Administration, or even the CDC for that matter, where corporate influence and the pharmaceutical industry has a lot of influence.”
Stein is a havard trained medical doctor. She knows we could make vaccines better, safer, but because we have a corrupt AF corporate captured regulatory body, they allow lower quality higher profit margin vaccines.
So the Democrats try to paint her as "anti vaccine" to deflect from their culpability in that corruption.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I used to want to like Jill Stein, but I think she's just a spoiler. A distraction to weaken the Democrats position against the Republicans, but only at general election time and only for the presidential seat. I'm not familiar with her making even a single attempt at The House or Senate. She's not run in any county or state level election. Does any Green Party member hold any office anywhere in the US? She's a part timer.
The dems are actively enabling a genocide so more power to anyone who weakens them.
I'm voting green because they're the only real party who has a chance to beat the orange man. Literally zero people will vote for Joe. Who could vote for a party that arms genocide commiters and politicians who bathe in the blood of Palestinean children? Anyone who supports that would just be a republican. I'd prefer to vote for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, but as we live in a first past the post system, I'm compromising on my position and voting green. Joe should step down, and stop being a spoiler candidate for the only viable opposition to orange man.
Smdh Joe-bros stealing votes trying to prevent our first female president #itsherturn
You think the Democrats need any help weakening their own position lol? They're actively endorsing a genocide, haven't given any of their voters anything they've asked for, what reason does anyone have to vote for them? How can anyone spoil something that's already rotten?
She's not run in any county or state level election.
This is untrue. She ran for Massachusetts governor twice. Green Party has 144 minor political offices according to Wikipedia, which is unimpressive. They need to do more with their platform.
Biden is the real spoiler for the Dems
