"opinions on vaccines" aren't based on "party lines". vaccines are based on decades worth of research by hundreds of research groups culminating in thousands of papers. vaccines are based off of diagrammed biochemical mechanisms that take advantage of everything we know about our immune system.

the fact that she has a phd in neuroscience means that there's a huge chance she has at least an undergraduate education in the theory behind vaccinations. the fact that she likely understands the science, knows that the original paper was a hoax and has been retracted, is at least aware of the dangers of breaking herd immunity--makes her "opinion" hypocritical at best and dangerous at worst, especially because of the authority she wields because of her education. in science, no matter how beautiful or elegant your hypothesis, until you find data to support it, it will not be included in the body of knowledge. it's both disingenuous and harmful to push unfounded and panic-inducing theories onto the public who might not have access to better information.

sorry if this comes off as strongly worded--this is like, one of the three things i have an intense opinion on.

it's both disingenuous and harmful to push unfounded and panic-inducing theories onto the public who might not have access to better information.

This is a good point, esp regarding her authority bc of her education.
