Are there any data on the cases where HPV vaccine has an unintended effect? Surely there are some such cases. Surely it's up to the parents to decide if they want to take those risks. Isn't it?
In this case, it's more difficult to catch, and there is an element of choice in catching it (one doesn't HAVE to have sex). By all means, the vaccine should be available. If the Governor had gotten the drug companies to give a discount, he should be applauded - but that's not what he's doing.

There's something very ugly about all this. It's very powermad, I think. What if this vaccine has not had sufficient trial? What if we have a huge Gen. Next down the road who can't have kids themselves or have some other permanent side effect?
If I lived in Texas and had a daughter, and could not opt out, I would move. This smells like the Soviet Union!
"PARENTS CAN OPT OUT FOR RELIGIOUS OR MORAL GROUNDS."
And seat belt laws are never going to be a primary offense. And your SSN will never be used as an identifier. And you can do anything you want with property you own.
In 10 years your "opt out" clause will be a quaint memory.
Scroll through this thread. There's lot's of good links & information.
bttt
'religious or philosophical' opting out? Won't this truly label the family?
I think they even tested males with their trials. Hmmm...

"Since a vaccination is a MEDICAL procedure, Governor Perry is practicing medicine without a license."
The authority is in the Education Code. Same authority that requires all the other vaccinations (measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus) for school kids.
No, he ordered that it be mandatory for all girls entering the sixth grade, with parental opt-out provisions that may or may not be ignored by schools.
Me? I wouldn't want my daughters to die because they or their future husbands made a stupid mistake, so I would not object.
How would you like for your 11 or 12 y/o daughter to die from an allergic reation to a vaccination that has had inadequate testing.
Exactly!
Me, too.
I was right. The trials included tests on males 9-15:

"In 10 years your "opt out" clause will be a quaint memory."
Nonsense. You can still opt out of all vaccinations, and have been able to since the polio vaccine came out.
Nope, and Perry is going to get crucified for this.
The data is very limited because there has been insufficient time and testing for those potential items to surface, not to mention that the medical community has no idea what kind of super-strains of HPV will mutate as a result of this vaccination getting into contact with existing HPV and/or combinations of HPV and herpes or chlamydia.
"How would you like for your 11 or 12 y/o daughter to die from an allergic reation to a vaccination that has had inadequate testing."
Since I don't live in fantasy luddite land, I don't have to worry about that.
This thing does smell. Pardon me while I don my tinfoil hat, but I have my suspicions that it's all tied to the UN's Healthy People 2010 mess which is being used to establish a database for universal health-care.
We may not see it in our lifetimes, but our children most likely will.....with their life-long medical records from attending 'public school' to implement it.
