On the issue of the "anti-vax" movement. It's undeniable that Michele Bachmann was referring to the HPV vaccine to try and paint Rick Perry as a promoter of underaged promiscuous sex. -Pure opportunism on her part and it seemed isolated to this one vaccine. The larger proponents of the movement have been on the left. That said, I don't live in LA, until recently I lived in the midwest. I know many conservative housewives that think vaccinations are dangerous. It is an issue that has permeated the living rooms of both conservatives and liberals alike. -Idiocy holds no claim to political persuasion here.

That said, it is mostly these people that are the most vocal proponents: http://www.hubski.com/pub?id=5705
