The measles spread to the political arena. Parents need measure. Chris christie says there is no question. Hillary clinton tweeted, the science is clear, the sky is blue. 14 infants quarantined after within came down with measles. Cold air coming in. The northeast coping with very heavy snow. President obama on a collision course with congress. The president thinks the answer to all problems is just a little more money. Nearly 200 passengers on a cruise ship sick at sea with the nourovirus. A major atlanta interstate back open after being shutdown after a suspicious package. He says a painful groundhog day for the mayor of a city in wisconsin. Atv riders slamming into an suv and taking off. And all that matters. I thought it was the worst call. The dumbest super bowl loss ever. That is unforgivable. Passing at the 1 yard line when you have Marshawn Lynch is like throwing a gun at someone. We stayed up all night. We were dancing all night. Tonight, will you go to bed early . I was planning on going to bed, but it was moved to wednesday, ill be up all night. Announcer this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs this morning. There are at least 102 measles cases in 14 states. Most in california and traced back to disneyland. More cases are expected. This morning, president ial candidates are joining the debate about the safety of vaccines and parents choices. We have nancy cordes on capitol hill with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning to the viewers in the west who are in the middle of all of this. Kentucky senator rand paul got a lot of attention for the remarks. He is a medical doctor and says he is a fan of vaccines but says they should be voluntary and in some cases, can be harmful to children. That puts him at odds. Senator paul made the comment on cnbc. I heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. Reporter the cdc says there is no such evidence. The vaccine is safe and effective. Reporter government officials from the president on down have been on a campaign to boost vaccinations in the wake of the measles outbreak. We have looked at this. Every reason to get vaccinated. There are not reasons to not. Reporter all 50 states require that children get their shots, but 48 of them allow exceptions for religious or philosophical reasons. 68 of americans said vaccines should be required. 30 agreed with senator paul. Governor Chris Christie telling reporters he had his kids vaccinated because it is an important part to protect their health and public health. But he added parents need to have choice in things. His office clarified his comments saying there is no question kids should be vaccinated. Republicans tend to believe a little bit more in the rights of parents to make decisions over their children they tend to be more concerned about washington mandates than democrats. In the end, it is overwhelming among both parties that vaccinations are important if not essential to keeping their children safe and healthy. Reporter and the possible democratic contender, Hillary Clinton weighed in last night as well in a tweet. She said the science is clear. The earth is round, the sky is blue and vaccines work. Grandmothersknowbest. Charlie. Thank you. 14 children are quarantined in santa monica, california. Their School Day Care shutdown. The vaccination cannot be given until the babies are 1 years old. There are fears other children are infected. We have Holly Williams with us. Good morning. I want you to help us understand. Especially with the concerns of autism and vaccines. A 1998 study sparked those concerned in the journal lancet. It was a small study. It was completely discredited and formally retracted by the journal because the data was fraudulent or misrepresentative. The doctor was stripped of his license. He was. We have children and several countries proving there is not a link. What gives it life . I think what gives it life is until we have a very clear understanding of what does cause autism parents are reluctant to let go what doesnt. Parents want to do something to feel they are protecting their kids. Isnt it something more than vaccinations are not safe when all of the evidence suggests that vaccines are safe . One of the best inventions of the 20th century, rand paul said yesterday he heard of tragic cases of walking and talking children with profound mental disorders after vaccines. There is not great evidence to show that. We call that confirmation bias within the medical community. It is where when people have an emotional understanding of an idea or when things are emotionally or politically charged, they interpret data the way they want to. They run with anecdotes in that specific way. It is something we try and balance in science. People are very strong opinions. Thank you, holly. Bostons mayor says the parade for the patriots will have to wait one more day. The city as you know is dealing with a recordbreaking snow for the second time in a week.

Reporter the risers are up along the parade route, but understand why they postponed the parade a day. Look at this. Thats the sidewalk. The news stands are buried under 7 feet of snow. It is the snow piles the city officials have to make sure are cleared throughout the city before the super bowl champ, the new England Patriots, can take their victory lap. After the heavy snow would not relent officials and the new England Patriots made a joint decision to postpone the parade last night with the safety of the teams fans in mind. Obviously i will go no matter what. This is too much. Reporter crews are still busy plowing the streets and removing the snow hoping to clear the path of more than 1 Million People ahead of the parade now slated for tomorrow. The super bowl champions were greeted with 1 1 2 foot of snow at Logan International airport. And eager fans lined up outside Gillette Stadium in 11 degree temperatures to catch a glimpse of the players. Coupled with last weeks storm, the city of boston has now seen more than 34 inches in seven days. Making it the snowiest week long period in history. We had a ton of snow. Where will they put the rest of it . Reporter the concern is the sub zero temperatures which will lead to slick roads and dangerous travel conditions. Frozen tracks caused the subway lines to back up after a train became stranded for more than two hours. Prompting the evacuation of 50 commuters.

Our weather turning active as well. Rain showers spread east as snow over a foot may fall in the high terrains through idaho and wyoming.

Mudslides are at risk and damaging winds possible at the coast. Thank you, the director goes to capitol hill to defend the Budget Proposal from the president. Republicans are blasting the spending plan. Major garrett is at the white house with both sides fired up. Good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie. The white house says budget deficits are now economic manageable. The budget makes no attempt to balance the federal books now or ever. That means the nations 18 trillion debt will continue rising. I want to work with congress to replace mindless austerity. Reporter the president s 4 trillion budget seeks 74 million this year. The deficit would be the lowest of the obama presidency. The plan does little to tackle the largest long term fiscal problems. We borrowed a lot of money in the recession. The president s budget doesnt do much to bring that down at least in the next decade. Reporter to fund the priorities, the budget calls for major tax increases on wealthy households and corporations. In 277 billion in tax cuts aimed at the middle class and poor. There are so many positive things he could have done instead of phoning in another tired tax and spend manifesto. We see the same thing every year. Reporter Republican Leaders in congress have vowed to pass an alternative budget that blames spending cuts and targeting increases. Republicans first must work through more battles with the white house. I have seen no evidence of coalescing. They are interested in keystone or repeal of obamacare. Reporter the house will vote again to repeal and the senate will vote against the actions on immigration. White house vetoes which republicans cannot override await both. Gayle. Major you okay . You threw it to charlie. You all right . It is a little cold out here. Ill give you a fresh forecast from the white house. Its cold. Major, thank you. Good to see you. The president s budget includes more than 5 billion to fund the battle against isis and iraq and syria. The u. S. Coalition launched dozens of air strikes in the last 48 hours. Holly williams is in erbil with the latest. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning. After isis swept across iraq last year the countrys army which was trained and equipped in the u. S. By 20 billion, was left in disarray. The Iraqi Government is relying on a Militia Group to defeat isis. Just north of baghdad, the general took us to see villages his men clawed back from isis last week. This was the front line and this is isis terrorist. The general told us 80 of his men died here in a fourday battle. In this village, they launched the attack through the amuse many park long deserted by locals. After isis was defeated the fighters fled over the hills. Before they left they blew up the bridge and left the village littered with roadside bombs. The Iraqi National army did not take on isis alone. It relied on hundreds of volunteers with a shiite muslim militia known as the fighter brigades. We want peace for our children and families said their commander. He ran a Grocery Store until he signed up six months ago. The brigade has the best track record defeating isis in central iraq. They have a murky past. During iraqs bloody civil war, the death squads were implicated in the torture and murder of thousands of sunni muslims. Last week the Shiite Militia men were accused of killing 70 unarmed sunni men. Iraqs shiite government have given the brigade unprecedented power. The general says he and his men are under the command of the leader of the fighter brigade. He was given the job by the Prime Minister the general said, Everybody Knows it. The brigades have a close relationship with iran and irans special forces are fighting in iraq against isis. So that means that in iraq the u. S. Is on the same side as both an unchecked militia and iran which shows you how complicated the fight against isis has become. Norah. Holly, incredible piece. Great reporting. To point out how complicated everything is. Thank you. Gas prices are creeping up this morning. Aaa says the average price jumped to 2. 07 overnight. The eighth straight day of increases.
