Uggh.. Marianne Williamson just on MSNBC conflating CDC with Big Pharma.

[hlthe2b]

She admitted her comment that vaccine mandates were "Orwellian and...." was wrong, but then goes on to conflate every single scientist at CDC, NIH and on all the many advisory committees as being in the pocket of big Pharma. Saying we need to "convene special expert panels" to review, something CDC has done for many many decades and all of the members of these EXPERT blue-ribbon panels are REQUIRED to document any and ALL funding conflicts.

My feelings for that woman will not be specified for fear some rare "fan" will alert on me, but NO NO NO NO NO! This is what happens when some "out-of-touch" spiritualist who thinks they know everything launches a vanity run for President.

That her comments will feed more ignorance and put more children at risk should disqualify her. DONE.

1. She's very good at talking about us all needing to love each other.

Should stick to that, imho.

[hlthe2b]

2. Trump showed us what happens when a celebrity ignorant of all things government is elected...

Never again. She is undoubtedly a lovely woman, but with no applicable experience and it shows.

8. Yep, Keep her nose out of things she knows little about.

If I hear the big pharma monolith again, I'm going to f'ing scream. It's a convenient pigeon hole for those who don't really know what the hell they're talking about.

[get the red out]

3. Not well-versed in Gov

She needs to stick to her day job.

[grantcart]

5. Wants to make vaccinations optional

She is a policy lightweight

[llmart]

4. She's made enough money.

She needs to just accept the fact that her fifteen minutes are up. She has no business running for President.

6. +1

11. +1

7. It's ironic to call vaccines "Orwellion" when

Orwell died of TB, a disease for which we now have a vaccine

[pazzyanne]

10. Good rebuttal, tishaLA!

She may be a wonderful person, but I don't see depth when I have listened to her. Agree that she is not ready for prime time. Also agree that we do not need another "Celebrity President". There has been enough damage done by the present one.

[hlthe2b]

16. not to pick your point, but the TB vaccine is very ineffective. Still, it brought about better

treatment and control--all which rely on REQUIRED isolation and often enforced quarantine.

[paleotn]

9. Orwellian? Like compulsory primary education?

Geez.....shut the hell up, Marianne.

[Voltaire2]

12. The woo is strong with that one.

[comradebillyboy]

13. Somebody's got to invent and manufacture those drugs...

[Dopers_Greed]

14. She should drop out

[RussellCattle]

15. Unfortunately she has garnered a spot in the debates this week. It may be good...

....that it is on the second night that is more top heavy with first tier candidates. She'll be on stage, relegated to the spot on the far left and hopefully will be treated as an afterthought. If she brings up vaccines, we can hope that the others pile on a bit.

17. She's a loon.

18. Marianne Williamson just dropped below Mike Gravel and Tulsi

on my personal preference list.
