Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on his "pro-freedom" vaccines stance, Trump admin's fraud claims

"Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat finishing out his final term who has at times found himself at odds with his party on key national issues, says the best way to understand his politics is that he is "pro-freedom."
That extends to more benign issues like allowing kids to operate lemonade stands without a permit, to larger concerns like legalizing so-called "magic mushrooms," which Polis supported, and vaccine mandates, which Polis opposes.
"I'm pro-vax, me and my family are vaxxed," Polis told "CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil. "I don't think the government should force you to get vaxxed. ... So, pro-freedom."
Asked Monday about the recent changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidance on childhood vaccines, recommending fewer immunizations than were previously suggested, Polis said, "Those are recommendations, obviously."
"We [Colorado] use some of the national recommendations, that, you know, again, it's up to each parent to make that decision for their kids," Polis said. "It's good to put the best possible information in front of people. In most cases, getting vaccinated is the best way to protect your health and your kid's health.""

"We have rights. Fundamental rights," Polis said. "When you're minding your business and doing your own thing, really, the government shouldn't interfere."
