What do you think about the TX Gov. forcing girls to get the HPV Vaccine?

Question

Preach it Ben!
The average property tax in Tx is 7 times higher than I paid in Cali. per year. But the housing values are dramatically lower.

Answer 1

I don't think it should be mandatory. I do think the vaccine's a good idea, though, for a lot of girls.

It is not proven safe, though. Many side effects aren't known right away. Why place very-low-risk (for sexual behavior) girls at risk (of side effects)?

But for higher-risk girls, and for those who want it, I think it's great. They should be told, and have it drilled into them, that it only protects from some causes of cancer; she can still get cancer via sex.

Answer 2

If we've self assurance that the giving the HPV vaccine to guard females from available maximum cancers is a contravention of their proper, can we not argue that each and each man or woman required vaccines are violation of their rights? it shouldn't harm the girl to have the vaccine previous the soreness and soreness of recieving a shot. Given an oppurtunity to steer away from maximum cancers and save their lives, who wouldn;t decide on a vaccine for that, and why not?

Answer 3

I think that Rick Perry should have done more medical research regarding his decisions and I think that he should have had a panel of parents from Austin, TX evaluate whether they want their daughters to participate in this. It just seems insane to me that he is practically forcing the parents to take the vaccine. I live in Houston, TX temporarily due to Katrina and I can't stand it; a lot of things aren't functioning right out here and it's very curropt! I also agree with Ben, Texas just isn't right in a whole lot of ways.

Answer 4

It's so corrupt given the fact that the Merck lobbyist used to work for the TX Governor and Merck is going to make billions of dollars off of this. Not to mention the fact that the governor got a $6K campaign contribution from Merck. If I lived in Texas and had a daughter, I would sign the waiver. It hasn't even been tested yet.

Answer 5

I am sure there is a lobbyist for the maker of the vaccine throwing Rick Perry cash under the table. The Texas government is a bunch of crooks. Thas why we pay the highest rates for electricty, cell phones, telephones, insurance (health, auto and homeowners) and property taxes in the Nation. Think about it.

Answer 6

I think it's a good thing...I'll be out of school by the time it takes effect, but its still a good idea. Kids are always going to be sexually active no matter what you tell them, so I think its best to take whatever precautions you can. The bad part is that now, girls may think its 'safer' for them to have unprotected sex, and that is pretty bad...maybe worse. Maybe the government should leave this to the parents.

Answer 7

good deal. i had cervical Cancer. i had to have a hysterectomy at age 22. evidently got hpv from the man i married, at age 17, the only man i was ever with!!! didn't know about those things back then! wish i had had a vaccine!

Answer 8

no f**n way the gov./school is going to tell me to give my daughter that shot, not enough research for that. What happens a year down the road when god forbid theres a horrible side effect discovered? Whose going to take responsibility for it?

Answer 9

They are getting paid off (big bribe) by the pharmaceutical company. Another intrusion by big brother, on our way to becoming a socialist country.

Answer 10

Awful, But you can opt out for Religious or personal reasons.
