recently texas governer rick perry has passed a mandate that all 6th grade girls MUST be vaccinated for HPV (to "prevent cervical cancer") in order to attend school. do you think he has a right to step in?

I don't like it a bit. Are you aware that just days before they signed this into law Perry and 8 others got checks from a Lobbiest for MERK? And that that Lobbiest once worked for Perry?
Are you aware that the FDA has written a policy memo, that will let them, let the pharmaceutical companies do the Only testing?
I was reading about this in the Washington Post last week.
The Huffington Post may have a link also.

Nothing that has not been proven effective should be mandatory. A woman should have the right to choose what is going to be done to her body. The vaccine does not even prevent all types of cervical cancer, so what is the point in making it necessary, It will just make people think that it is okay to skip their pelvic exam, because "hey, i got the shot, I'm protected" which would mean more women would miss their window of having their cancer detected earlier and having a chance to treat it. What's next mandatory pregnancy tests before you can have a beer? Recording our ovulation cycles like they do in china?
P.s. smoking also causes cancer... when is there going to be a law against that? Oh and so does drinking!

Show me first your MD degree from an approved school of medicine, Herr Doktor Perry. What is not being said is that Perry is assuming all 6th grade girls are sexually active as HPV is associated with such behavior. Thus far HPV has not been linked to public bathrooms, drinking fountains or other known disease vectors, and the man needs to put his boots back on despite the fact they no longer fit.

As a woman who is likely to die from cervical cancer in the next few years, I say more power to him. And I hope the rest of the nation follows suit. Most likely I acquired HPV in my late teens or early twenties. I am encouraging all my young female relatives to get the vaccine.

do no longer take the vaccine. It consists of a stay maximum cancers virus, & mercury, and in case you carry on with the money path, Perry everyday money from Merck to mandate this. you could REFUSE the vaccine, it particularly is no longer a regulation! in case you could no longer get into college without it, ask for a waiver type, then, get a criminal expert. This vaccine in basic terms protects you from 4 of the a hundred thirty lines of HPV. And it is in simple terms stable for 5 years, it motives motor vehicle immune ailments, & you don't be attentive to what can take place to you added down the line. it particularly is a sexually transmitted affliction, & you could keep away from it by skill of having everyday tests. do no longer take it, refuse it! they're in basic terms doing this for earnings, no longer for the sake of your well-being.

I think we should give it to him. Second of all it is NOT mandatory and it has not been tested enough.
Below is a link to liberal leaning CBS new and they are not yet ready to give it approval...
