I am bewildered by your reply about politicians saying it is not the LAW. No politician has suggested anything about the law in the recent discourse. The question being directed at the potential 2016 candidates is about the wisdom of not vaccinating children. Dr. Paul has admitted he did not follow the recommended vaccine schedule with his own children although he did vaccinate.
