Paul Manafort, the chairman of Donald Trump's presidential campaign who has been linked to a pro-Russia lobbying scandal, has resigned.
[...] Manafort has drawn fire for millions of dollars in undisclosed payments he allegedly received for lobbying efforts on behalf of a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party.
[...] The documents allegedly show funds allocated to Manafort totalling more than $12.7m between November 2007 and October 2012. But the agency emphasised that it had not determined whether Manafort had actually received that money.

What on earth is your problem with that first sentence you quote? Do you think vaccines are perfect and there are no side effects? The real world doesn't operate in binary...

Do you think vaccines are perfect and there are no side effects?
Two things to note here. First, this is a claim by someone other than me (I was answering a question by quoting not stating a personal opinion).
Second, there is a real question here though it's pretty low grade. Why publicly express concerns about vaccines containing thimerosal, especially when that's not actually a real problem as the linked article notes? Answer: to placate your anti-vax contingent by demonstrating that you're listening to their concerns, but without committing to something that kills people. I don't see any sane politician behaving differently. Sure, she might actually believe some of the worst of the anti-vaxxer beliefs, but I think it more likely that she's being attacked by the Democrats in order to scare voters back to voting for Clinton.
