The headlines from the slanderous media is that "Rand Paul is against vaccines." However, what he stated is vaccines are the greatest modern marvel the world has seen and some should be mandatory, but some should be voluntary.
I personally think that most should be mandatory and just a few should be voluntary. Yet don't slander this great man, who would be a great POTUS.
Also it's nice how the people coming out against the anti-vaccine crowd collectively forget that Mr. Obama allowed 10s of thousands of sick and non-vaccinated kids from South of the border come freely across the border and he then disbursed them across the country! I think that is probably the biggest culprit!

“The thing is I think vaccines are one of the greatest medical breakthroughs that we have. I’m a big fan and a great fan of the history of the development of the small-pox vaccine, for example,” he said. “But you know, for most of our history, they have been voluntary. So I don’t think I’m arguing for anything out of the ordinary. We are arguing for what most of our history has had.”
He added: “I’m not arguing vaccines are a bad idea. I think they are a good thing, but I think the parent should have some input. The state doesn’t own your children. Parents own the children. And it is an issue of freedom and public health.”
