I haven't heard of any liberal politicians advocating for non-vaccination. The article you link does say that anti-vacs spokespeople have been given airtime their cause doesn't merit, and I certainly agree with that. But I don't think it's quite the same thing.
It should also be noted that the Oprah interview mentioned was in 2007; I think that autism-related claim was retracted a few years after that. It wasn't any more correct in 2007, but I think it's more important to look at what people--especially politicians--are saying now. Especially in the face of an actual measles outbreak.
"It should also be noted that the Oprah interview mentioned was in 2007"
It doesn't matter. To some women, Oprah is God. Anything she says or does is taken as complete truth. Unless Oprah got back on tv and said "Oops..." it is stuck in many of these women's head.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Hillary better butter up to Clint Eastwood, Kelsey Grammer, Victoria Jackson and Patricia Heaton, because she's lost everyone else in Hollywood. Link

Oprah is God? Really? I was unaware that my vagina prohibited me from making an informed decision.
What matters is what is being said now with the current information that is available. Republicans are saying it should be personal choice. Democrats are coming out in favor of a full vaccination schedule. There were questions about vaccines and their relation to autism seven years ago. There is more data now.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
Andrew Wakefield should have been strung up by his balls for the amount of damage his study did, not only to the ignorant, but to parents who want to vaccinate but can't because of age limits, and also to the scientific community itself. Christ, that thing pissed me off beyond belief. And there are still morons who believe it.
Saw something strange today. Driving on the main road that cuts through Miami, a person with a ready made vote for Ted Cruz poster, waving it at a street corner. This is one of the reasons I have hope for the Dems in 2018. If this moronic nut is going to be one of their guys, I'm in heaven. He looks like Joe McCarthy, the slime oozes.
Cruz is anything but a moronic nut. He is arrogant, a divider, unable to get along with many of his colleagues in the GOP but he is not moronic.
He was a constant conservative at Harvard and among the top debaters there. Alan Dershowitz called him one of the smartest students he ever had. He can express his opinions extraordinarily well, at length, without even a note in his hand. A few hours ago I heard Joan Walsh on MSNBC call him an idiot. My guess is that his IQ is about 30 points higher than hers.
He may not get very far because he rubs people the wrong way. He rubs me the wrong way but while he is in the race he will likely be very capable at expressing his opinions and focusing attention on things he finds wrong with the current administration.
I find it incredibly depressing that such divisive, intellectually challenged, self-serving, socially dangerous candidates would actually be considered for the position. Evidently a lot of people find it funny. I wish I could but there's too much at stake.
It is depressing Wilmington, someone that I admire, Bernie Sanders, has no chance. I'm thinking the Republicans will be smart and nominate Jeb, and he'll beat Hillary, because of voter ID and the electoral college. If they nominate anyone else I think Hillary has a chance
No, I kept telling you. Jeb cannot beat Hillary. The conservative wing of the Republican party detests him. He is considered the ultimate "RINO"--Republican in Name Only. The hate his pro-immigration stance and they hate that he's pro-Common Core. They see no difference between him and Hillary. They consider them part of two family dynasties that are, in the end, identical.
(Similar, actually, to they way many leftist Democrats feel about the Clintons.)
There are not enough "mainstream Republican" voters who like Jeb to get anywhere near Hillary.
