(Christie) “It’s much more important, I think, what you think as a parent, than what you think as a public official.”
His remarks came after a recent measles outbreak in California sickened more than a hundred people in several states and Mexico, and placed parents who choose not to vaccinate their kids under new scrutiny.

Hillary Clinton, the leading Democrat contender for 2016, gave her opinion, tweeting “The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork … #GrandmothersKnowBest”.
