=== Vaccination ===
Paul, a [[libertarian]], has opposed the totalitarian agenda of [[compulsory vaccination]], stating that despite the benefits, vaccination should be voluntary.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmggtBvCO08 Rand Paul on Vaccines and Freedom | GOP Debate]</ref><ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/rand-paul-vaccines-can-lead-mental-disorders-n298821 Rand Paul: Vaccines Can Lead to 'Mental Disorders']</ref> He has adamantly opposed the fearmongering-promoted mandatory vaccination rhetoric amid a [[measles]] outbreak in 2019, arguing before a hearing that government-mandated vaccines attack personal rights and that it provides "a false sense of security".<ref>Two references:
