WFB: During his first stint as Virginia governor, Terry McAuliffe (D.) named the founders of one of the country’s leading anti-vaccine organizations to two coveted administration positions after they contributed more than $50,000 to his political campaign.
McAuliffe in 2014 appointed Claire Dwoskin and Al Dwoskin, a since-divorced Democratic power couple, to serve on the George Mason University Board of Visitors and the Governor’s Advisory Council on Revenue Estimates, respectively. Claire Dwoskin a year earlier had formed the Children’s Medical Safety Research Institute, an anti-vaccine organization that has pushed the baseless theory that some vaccines are linked to autism in children. The organization was funded by the Dwoskin family charity.
A number of Democratic politicians who now accuse Republicans of opposing vaccines have themselves cozied up to prominent anti-vaccine activists. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D., Calif.) reportedly expressed concerns about government-mandated vaccines during a 2019 meeting with Robert Kennedy Jr., one of the most influential vaccine opponents in the country. more here

It is not baseless.
McAuliffe is one of the most slappable people in the entire world.
Vaccine. They keep using that word…
