Ugh. That will be a much replayed soundclip by Democrats. Christie wasn't much better.

And that was decidedly NOT the libertarian position from Rand. If you wanted to go libertarian on vaccines, you'd do it like this:

1) All vaccines optional.
2) If you opt out of a vaccine*, you are responsible for the FULL health care costs of treatment. No insurance help. No government help. You're on your own.
3) If you opt out of a vaccine*, and can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt as the transmission vector that caused another person to contract the illness because they were too young/unhealthy/at risk to take the vaccine themselves, you are responsible for the FULL health care costs of their treatment. You have to go into bankruptcy and have assets liquidated before the government or insurance covers any unfulfilled costs.


* Only applies to a known white list of low risk high success rate vaccines for major illnesses. Stuff like MMR and polio. Trivial crap and low effective crap like the flu does not apply.
