Live in bridgeton, im Ted Greenberg, nbc10 news. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says parents should decide for themselves about vaccinating their children. Christie made the comments today during his trade mission to england. Also aimed at raising the republican Governors National profile. Today governor christie tourd cambridge American Cemetery where remains of Many Americans who died in world war ii were buried. They laid at wreath at the cemetery. Afterwards christie said parents need to have a choice when it comes to vaccinating their children. It depends on what the vaccine is. I didnt give people the option. Christies vaccination comment was in response to president obama to get their kids protected from measles. There is every reason to get vaccinated. Get your kids vaccinated. You should get your kids vaccinated. In an exclusive interview with nbc10, president obama said the science is indisputeable when it comes to vaccine safety. Nbc10s south jersey Bureau Reporter has been examining these vaccine depats. Its a highly charged issue and some parents refuse to budget. She didnt wish to speak on camera but her belief is since the onset of the mchltd mr measles, mumps rubella vaccine our country has seen a rise in autism cases. Here in new jersey alongside pennsylvania and delaware small children must have a vaccination and booster before they can attend grade school. When i was pregnant i made sure i was vaccinated so that she was protected zoo. Reporter hilary and her family will be moving and sending their Young Children to school in new jersey siding with governor christies comments that there needs to be quote, some balance between government and Parental Choice to vaccinate or not. So, i agree with governor christie and i think its up to the parents to make sure theyre making the right decision for the kids. I cant expect other parents to do what i expect them to do. Reporter christies comment drawing criticism from Health Experts including doctors right here in new jersey who called his initial comment a risk to public safety. Christie has since clarified that vaccinations are an important protection to the public, saying he initially meant not all vaccines are the same nor are the Public Health risks of certain diseases. The concern is if you get one person to come here that has the measles, anybody whos unvaccinated can catch it. Camden county says vaccination rates in new jersey compared to other states is extrooimex exextremely high. New jersey is in a much better situation than, say, california. Reporter take a look at this chart. We just found out from the state department of health the vaccination rates in burlington and Camden County are very high in kindergarten specifically 97 and 96 . We also know that the state Health Department is currently in communication with the county Health Departments, asking them to look out for any sign rashes of the measles disease over the next couple of weeks. We also have word from a political analyst on what this all means for governor christie. Well have that for you coming up at 5 00. Live in cherry hills tonight, im cydney long, nbc10 news. In other news now, the results of a longawaited report on autism were unveiled today in Philadelphia City council. Philadelphia autism project took two weeks to complete. The purpose is to clarify the Services Available in the city for people with this communication disorder. Councilmen obrien says some of the recommendations made in the report are already being put to use. He says philadelphia is one of the best places for people to live with autism. We undertook this effort because despite the wonderful recognition we realize we can and must do better to address the gaps in our service systems. An autism report like this one has never been done on a municipal level according to the councilman. 20 minutes of nonstop news continues with nbc10 asking some tough questions three days after pennsylvania treasurer rob mccord issued a video confession admitting he shook down campaign donors. We showed you his full resignation friday. Nbc10 Rosemary Conner is live in center city. You talked to experts who prosecuted these kinds of cases. What are they telling you about mccords future . Reporter jim they say mccord broke the law. This scandal involves mccords dealings with two potential Campaign Contributors with what turned out to be his failed run for governor last year. Now, the question is whats the next step and what kind of punishment is in store for the state treasurer . I essentially said the potential contributor should not risk making an enemy of the state treasurer. If youre asking for something in exchange that violates the law. Reporter officially quid pro quo is the basis of the federal charges rob mccord may ultimately face. The simple way to say it using his position as state treasurer to make demands of Campaign Contributors. I owe an an apology. The fact that rob mccord has come forward and admitted to this and has stepped down from office would this suggest there is a plea deal already in the works with the federal government . I think all those things work in his favor. Howard bruce klein who once prosecuted government Corruption Cases as a u. S. Attorney in philadelphia now works as a white collar criminal defense lawyer. He expects the federal investigation into mccords case is already complete and the state may never get involved. It would be unusual for the state to come in and to take another look at this when the feds are already handling the case. Still some are wondering if there are other incidents that happened during mccords time as state treasurer. The pennsylvania Auditor Generals Office can look for example, into any contracts mccord arranged with the state. But not until the federal case is over. Its tragic because rob mccord had a great reputation. Rob mccord has done great things in his career. Governor tom wolf has said he will work quickly to nominate a new federal state treasurer to fill the vacancy. Im told by his spokes people they dont have a timeline for when that all may happen.
