Paul: Vaccines can cause 'profound mental disorders'
Source: CNN.com
Washington (CNN)Sen. Rand Paul raised eyebrows on Monday with a combative interview with a female reporter and controversial comments defending his insistence on voluntary vaccinations.
During the interview, with CNBC's Kelly Evans, Paul yawns, interrupts Evans and at one point motions for her to be quiet with a finger to his lips.
He also reproaches her for a "slanted" interview that he says "got no useful information because you were argumentative, and you started out with so many preoppositions [sic] that were incorrect."

(614 posts)well, i'll just go with the part that is not so obvious, but that he harped on because it's the liberated mantra, freedumb!!
every state in these united of states has laws requiring ALL kids to be vaccinated for certain diseases. which ones varies from state to state, but every single one requires vaccinations.
so his claim that it has always been voluntary is just plain crap.
to match what's between his ears.
sheez louise in a dairy freeze.
and then, the really good part, he was rude and condescending throughout (like he was with rachel; remember?), but at the end inasmuch threatened not to do any more interviews with her unless she understood that she could not come into it with her presuppositions. as in truth, or challenges to his talking points.
if this is the kind of respect he pays journalists, wonder how long he'll last.

Someone is going to have to come in from the wings, or the 'Lican nominee is going to be Jeb Bush.
