They switched to that proximity argument when their mercury arguments were wiped out. It comes back to the same thing - their starting point is that vaccines are bad and they're inventing reasons to justify it.

“But I’m very worried about a government that can start telling you, regular citizens, that you have to get a flu shot, that you have to do this, or you have to get 35 vaccines before they hit 36 months,” Bila remarked. “That concerns me. And what comes next?”
Perhaps she's a true liberal.
What I'd expect, if they were on the freedom, smaller government, less bureaucracy side, is that they'd be behind holding liable parents who don't vaccinate for any reason other than a genuine imminent danger, like having an immune system problem.
