25. Soooo...then Parents should have the same choice to let their kids take PBJ sandwiches to school

Christie is wrong to speak out like this. The Anti-Vaxxers are basing their choice on a widely discredited published paper about the vaccine's connection to Autism.

If Parents do not vaccinate their children then they should home school them.
