Green Party candidate and certified conspiracy theorist Jill Stein is obsessed with Harambe, the Cincinnati zoo gorilla neutralized to defend a human child. As a paragon of the political Left, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Harambe has become the Left’s raison d’etre. They worship at the gorilla’s grave with zealotry reminiscent of the Branch Davidians. If you think that’s hyperbole, check out Stein’s panegyric three months after Saint Harambe’s death.
The killing of Harambe 3 months ago today reminds us to be a voice for the voiceless. https://t.co/wMZpWlLicY pic.twitter.com/8WtlDhRlIy

Tweeted Sunday, Stein’s statement suggests that the “the killing of Harambe” somehow epitomizes the oppression of the “voiceless.”
Yes, because zoo staff putting down gorilla is the same as Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad suffocating young infants to death with sarin gas.
The false moral equivalence is all the more disturbing given the Green Party nominee’s anti-science position on childhood immunizations.
During the course of her fringe campaign for president, Stein, an actual medical doctor with an MD, has repeatedly issued dog whistles to the Left’s anti-vaxxer community in an effort to rally her lunatic base.
“As a medical doctor, there was a time where I looked very closely at those issues, and not all those issues were completely resolved,” she stated in an interview with The Washington Post. “There were concerns among physicians about what the vaccination schedule meant, the toxic substances like mercury which used to be rampant in vaccines. There were real questions that needed to be addressed. I think some of them at least have been addressed. I don’t know if all of them have been addressed.”
While Stein denies the allegation that she’s “anti-vaccination,” her dangerous rhetoric has left the door open for skepticism about the safety, efficacy, and supposedly nefarious motives for vaccinating vulnerable young children.
With a tinfoil hat wrapped tightly around her trendy pixie haircut, Stein echoes far-Left talking points about the “corrupt” system, seemingly poisoning “our children.”
“I think what I have raised questions about is just influence peddling in the FDA,” she squawked. “Right now there’s a lot of distrust for government agencies and for government in general. That’s another reason to stop the revolving door, for example, between Monsanto lobbyists who then wind up as heads of major departments…”
Here’s another example of her anti-vaxxer dog whistle, implying that regulators approving medications and vaccines cannot be trusted:
Anyone who supports vaccinations and wishes to prevent dropping vaccination rates should be concerned about the erosion of public trust caused by the corrupting influence of the pharmaceutical industry in regulatory agencies and government in general.
Insidiously, Stein has even hinted at the conspiracy theory that autism may be linked to vaccines.
It’s a lie that’s been debunked by countless peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials. To be clear, vaccines are safe, effective, and necessary for children. They are lifesavers. Anybody that says otherwise shouldn’t be near the levers of power, to steal an expression from Hillary Clinton.
The fact that Stein is going out of her way to shower praise on a gorilla, while undermining the lifesaving power of modern medicine is a testament to the creed of misanthropy.
If children die from diseases (polio, measles, rubella etc), then that’s okay, just as long as we offer indulgences to Harambe’s hallowed soul.
Stein’s Modest Proposal isn’t satire, but it does reek of tragic irony. After all, she’s a physician who claims to be “pro-science;” but given her stances on vaccines (and even GMOs), that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Harambe
