Perhaps the most dangerous belief Arvada State Sen. Laura Woods promotes is the long-debunked notion that vaccines cause autism.

If Laura Woods were some kook on an internet forum spreading falsehoods and promoting ignorance that would be one thing, but Laura Woods is a sitting State legislator and her views have real-world consequences that literally put our elderly, infant, and immune deficient citizens at risk of contracting deadly diseases.
