Chris Christie [](http://townhall.com/tipsheet/christinerousselle/2015/02/02/gov-christies-comments-on-vaccinations-sparked-controversy-n1951820) this week after saying that he feels parents should have a choice as to whether or not they vaccinate their children, adding that that’s a “balance the government has to decide.” But despite the criticism he received, Salem radio host Mike Gallagher suggested what he said is in fact the ‘[](http://townhall.com/tipsheet/townhallcomstaff/2015/02/05/radio-row-isnt-chris-christies-view-on-vaccinations-the-ultimate-conservative-position-n1953396).’***

> Indeed, conservatives stand against the overbearing power of the federal government, it's lack of constitutional standing, and its unending interference with parental choice and power.

>
> The impact on human health goes beyond negligence, and can't be blamed on bad science. It is darn right sinister! With evil intent!
>
> Humans are just collateral damage, as disposable as aborted fetuses or our returning veterans, at least to our government.
