Stein is not anti-vaccine so much as she is convinced that the FDA is run by the drug companies and that some skepticism is warranted as a result of this.

This is a lot like the furor over GMOs, which are not inherently bad (and as anyone else will tell you, we've been genetically engineering life forms for thousands of years), but get a bad reputation because of the strong association of GMOs with single, specific entity (Monsanto) constantly up to nefarious ne'er-do-well things. The FDA definitely has its problems but there's no evidence suggesting that vaccines cause anything bad to happen to anyone who isn't a polio or measles virus.
