So she's used language that panders to antivaxxers, and that's not good. But she's also flat-out said "As a medical doctor, of course I support vaccines." And other unequivocal statements about how they're good and important. (Which they obviously are.)

I'm not saying not to criticize her at all, I just think, on balance, that still puts her on the light side of the force.

Oh, come on. She used the words "toxic substances like mercury." The amounts of mercury in vaccines at the time were so minuscule you'd have to take a hundred vaccines at once to approach what you get eating a single freaking can of tuna. We don't need politicians, especially not politicians who are doctors, for pete's sake, pulling bullshit language to pander to anti-vaxxers. And away from real science.

Yeah, this. Trying to waffle and understate the importance of vaccines and making vague references to common anti-vax rhetoric isn't good in any sense.
