“Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R), a likely 2016 presidential candidate and a certified physician, weighed in on the vaccination debate Monday by asserting that he believes most vaccines should be voluntary.
“I’m not anti-vaccine at all but…most of them ought to be voluntary,” Paul told Laura Ingraham on her radio show Monday. “I think there are times in which there can be some rules but for the most part it ought to be voluntary.”
Paul’s comments follow a minor controversy Monday stirred by remarks by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R)—another potential 2016 candidate—in which he called for “balance” in vaccination requirements in order to allow for parental discretion. The Republican governor walked back his comments several hours later.”* John Iadarola (Think Tank), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) and Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) break it down.
