I am not a religious anti-vaccination person. I don't believe a girl having this vaccine or not will be a factor as to whether has sex. I sincerely doubt my daughter will be pure as the driven snow on her wedding night and would never think her husband would be. I have raised that point on other threads.

I have a problem with politicians that, let's face it, will ALL have to be screwed into the ground when they die because they are ALL so crooked. According to research being thrown out by the drug company, 80% of women have this virus. Let's say for the sake of argument there are 100,000,000 sexually active women in this country. That means that 80,000,000 have this virus or have had it (it is proved that most (90%?) women's bodies fight it on their own successfully) and 3,900 women died from it last year. Work out the percentage of that and get back to me as to why the government is mandating this vaccination on my daughter. They are mandating an unnecessary vaccine for a virus that can easily be tested for during a yearly pelvic exam and pap smear and treated in a half hour appointment. That is according to the CDC! Politicians feel good when they say it is an anti cancer vaccine, I mean really, who isn't against cancer. But don't force an injection on me or my daughter because some women are too stupid to go to the doctor once a year or two.

I made a (poor) calculation, and it does seem to make economic sense.

Okay. There are 150,000,000 women, 100,000,000 sexually active and 80,000,000 infected with HPV. That would mean that 3900 of them die from it every year, but over a 70-year period (life expecency, remember that it is the very young girls who get vaccinated), 273,000 of them will die.

The total cost of giving them all (at a very young age) a 350-dollar vaccine would be $52,5 billion, but it is streched over 70 years. The cost per life saved would be $192,308, which makes good economic sense. Most Western countries are willing to spend between half and one million dollars to save one life.

But don't force an injection on me or my daughter because some women are too stupid to go to the doctor once a year or two.

I don't believe in using force, unless there are extraordinary circumstances. You and your daughter should have the right to opt-out, or, alternatively, the right to opt-in if you do want the vaccine.
