Inexcusable in my opinion - shameless and ignorant


Paul has taken shots at vaccines for years, so his personal "support" on an important issue like this is tepid at best. Regarding his larger statement, he goes out of his way to qualify things saying yes their kids are vaccinated because in the end, they made a personal decision that the "benefits outweigh the risks". What risks? This has been studied in so many different ways. He is only giving credence to quack science by making a statement like this to give support to some notion of personal "liberty" which is poorly reasoned in this case.

Liberty for whom - parents making a horrible decision for a helpless child? A child who doesn't have the ability to choose for himself and is put at substantial more risk of serious harm (and harming others around them) by being deprived of a vaccine?
