Good facts but may I add that NOT all cervical cancer is linked to HPV. There have been people diagnosed with a pre-cervical cancer or cervical cancer and are negative with HPV. Bravo on the stats!!

Stupid decision. The schools heavily push for these vaccines and the average parent just complies. Yes, you can opt out but few parent sheep even bother.

Gardasil is a vaccine that does more harm than good. Plenty have died and thousands have damage. This vaccine supposedly at best keeps you from getting some of the many varieties of HPV. Plenty of the non covered varieties can still lead to cancer. At any rate, HPV does not usually lead to cancer and is treatable if a sexually active person gets regular checkups.

The whole vaccine is pointless for all but drug addled prostitutes.

But the makers want more customers: in parenting magazines right now, they have taken out huge pages of ads scaring parents to get their boys covered too. It’s a huge scam and perry should admit his mistake.

How does this have anything to do with Rick Perry and his vaccine order for protection against 4 HPV strains four years ago that could be opted out of and that was never put into effect?

If you do not know the typical staging, pathology,
treatments for girls and women afflicted with
cervical carcinoma, including their outcomes
(including 30 year disease free survival rates),
then what the heck are you defending the RINO Perry for,
in the first place?

Why are you wasting everyone’s time,
including mine?

Since I always provide links for my information (and I am quite generous with my time). I will conclude you have nothing more to say on the topic.

Thank you for your time.

The Catholic schools my kids attend allow an opt out for medical, religious or philosophical grounds. Not all students are Catholic btw.

Thank you for giving that information.

It is precisely those things that caused me to initially support Perry. However, the gardasil and TTC both have caused me to take a step back and .

He appears to be a man that can be bought. I don’t want that in a leader. I’m not completely discounting him but those 2 issues keep surfacing and they have not been explained in a satisfactory manner or in a way that makes me feel comfortable. In fact, this article that you posted only caused me greater concern.

As opposed to how sad it is for an individual on FR spending so much time bashing a conservative named Sarah Palin?

Perry ordered the Department of State Health Services to allow parents dissenting for philosophical or religious reasons to request a conscientious objection affidavit form. That form, which has been available since 2003, enables parents to enroll their children in public school even if they lack state-required immunizations. It's automatically granted as long as parents provide all required information.

OK. I'm foaming at the mouth now.

I am in Texas. I was *here* when all of this was going on and I was one of the thousands of parents who was dealing with this when it happened.

What I founnd was that, yes, I could fill out a conscientious objection affidavit and my daughter would not get the shot. BUT that meant that my daughter could not receive ANY other vaccines. She couldn't get MMR or pneumonia. Part of the reason that I didn't want my daughter to get this shot is that she's already immunocompromised. She does need vaccines, but I didn't want her to get *this* one because it was too new and I didn't know how it's react with her messed up immune system.

So I'd have had no choice. I'd have had to pull my daughter out of the public school system or submit to the shot. There was no way that a parent could avoid getting their daughter this shot, but allow her to get others. It was an all-or nothing proposition.

And it wasn't just that this was an unproven vaccine that was too new which was the problem. There were very real moral implications for giving a girl this vaccine.

Perry *was* forcing this vaccine on Texan girls. I was there and I was fighting with a thousand others to get this to STOP.

The Merck scandal was what caused him to back down on the issue.

Texans were highly outraged that this was done by executive order and didn’t go through the legislature. The legality of that was questioned.

In our eyes, the whole thing was hinkey.

This is not spin. Perry pushed this on us Texans and it was such a stink here he finally backtracked.

Yes it happened, yes Perry was wrong, but I am looking for someone who can beat Obama, that can bury mittens in the primary, and Perry can do both.

Is he perfect? no. Is he at least as conservative as Bush? yes, and probably a little more so. Is he head and shoulders better than Obama? easily? would I trust him to replace one of the conservative judges on the supreme court? yes.
