Rand Paul or Ayn Rand on the evil of vaccination?

I recall in the 1950s the John Birch Society was saying that putting minute quantities of fluorine in our drinking water-to prevent dental decay in children-was a communist plot. Now Republican leader Rand Paul  is saying that vaccinations are DANGEROUS. Did he consult the Complete Works of Ayn Rand ( his idol ) before speaking out on this BIG GOVERNMENT plot?
