I have two girls, so why should they be vaccinated for a disease that makes boys sterile? Should we demand that boys get the HPV vaccine, too, since they are the infection vector? And given that the Chicken Pox vaccine loses efectivenes over time, unlike natural immunity, and the sterility and serious problems are more likely when a person is older, aren't we setting people up to get Chicken Pox later in life when they've lost their vaccine immunity to it? Or will we start demanding that adults get boosters, too, by law? I know you're more flexible than that but I don't think the ends justify the means here.

Again, no parent should be forced. How often do I have to type it for you so it sinks in?
