Texas GOP State Rep: Vaccines Are Communist Sorcery

NBC News reports:



A Republican state legislator from Texas went on an extended Twitter rant on Tuesday, dismissing concerns over an ongoing measles outbreak in his state and calling vaccines “sorcery,” “dangerous,” and “self-enriching ‘science.’”

Rep. Jonathan Stickland, who represents a state legislative district near Fort Worth, initiated his outburst on Twitter after a Houston-based pediatrician and vaccine scientist, Dr. Peter Hotez, decried the rising number of vaccine exemptions being granted in the state.
