Ryan described the wellness blogger a 'one-woman consumer protection agency,' but scientists have expressed concerns about her activism.
Democratic presidential candidate Tim Ryan used pages in his 2014 book to praise a wellness blogger who expressed skepticism about vaccines and called people receiving flu shots"lemmings," as first reported by Mother Jones.
Ryan also offered praise for the wellness blogger in a blurb for her 2015 book, calling her a"one-woman consumer protection agency." "I want you to think about what you are directly injecting into your bloodstream," she wrote in 2015, "before you consider jumping off the ledge with other lemmings and taking this years Flu Shot."
In the doctor's book, Food: What the Heck Should I Eat, Ryan writes that"Hyman has given every American a clear and straightforward field manual on how to get and stay healthy, for themselves and for our country." Ryan's congressional office and campaign did not immediately respond when contacted by Newsweek to ask about his stance on vaccinations.
