What do you tell a little girl who wants to know why she is being given this injection?
"This will keep you from getting a bad disease. Just like the shots you got for diptheria, whooping cough, polio, measles, mumps and chicken pox when you were little. "

Is it really that freaking complicated? You don't have young girls, that's for sure. What do you say when your little girl asks what part of her gets sick and how that part of her gets sick? In your way of thinking we just follow what the governor tells us to do and give her "that talk". Well suppose I don't think it's time that my little girl gets "that talk". I'm screwed right? Your logic is ridiculous if you think HP is just another disease.
It THAT really THAT freaking complicated? If you want the government running your life, I guess not.

Same as any other disease. If your kid is old enough to ask specific questions about disease transmission vectors, she's probably old enough to know about the birds and the bees.

Well suppose I don't think it's time that my little girl gets "that talk".

"That talk" -- as if it's a one-shot deal -- is part of the problem. Any kid who's old enough to ask the question is old enough for an honest answer. No more information than necessary, and age-appropriate, but honest.

Classic joke: Kid asks Dad, "Daddy, what's sex?" Dad then gives him "The Talk," in detail and three-part harmony. The kid, wide-eyed, looks at Dad, blinks, and after a period of stunned silence says, "okay, but I don't think I can fit all of that in this little blank on the form."

Your logic is ridiculous if you think HP is just another disease.

It is just another disease, though more lethal than most. Your logic is ridiculous if you think that HPV is a judgment, and that the folks who get it somehow deserve it. Or delusional if you believe that probable immunity from the most prevalent forms of HPV will turn every nice little girl into a slutty mattress-back.

I can only imagine the fits of apoplexy you'll go into when and if medical science comes up with an HIV vaccine.

It THAT really THAT freaking complicated? If you want the government running your life, I guess not.

The Texas order has an opt-out option. So opt out. If you're happy with your daughter becoming a victim or a carrier rather than getting a stick in the arm, that is not my call.
