Jon Stewart Slams Christie for Soft Stance of Gov’t’s Role in Vaccines

STEWART: "Maybe to head this thing off, we need a popular figure from the right who agrees with the president."
CHRISTIE [video]: "I don't believe that when you're dealing with something as serious as this, you can count on a voluntary system. This the government's job, if anything else, the government's job is to protect the safety and health of our citizens."
STEWART: "Yes, by blocking every lane of possible virus transmission! Everyone! There will be no transmission traffic from here to, let's say, Fort Lee! But, thank you, a conservative, respected, prioritizing public health over these -- say that again? Really? That was from October when Christie put an Ebola nurse who was not sick and made her (bleep) in a bucket in a tent in Newark? Oh, here's what Christie actually said about kids' measles vaccinations."
CHRISTIE [video]: "We vaccinated ours. What's more important is what you think as a parent than what you think as a public official and that's what we do. But I also understand parents have a measure of choices as well. That's the balance the government has to decide."
STEWART: "It's nice unlike pigs in gestational crates in New Jersey, the governor has room to turn his stance around to change things."
