No. And in fact, the very premise of your claim is absurd. You are not "opting out" of taking a vaccine. You are opting out of the REQUIREMENT that you must show you have taken a vaccine in order to enter the public schools.
You could take every vaccine, and file an opt-out for Gardisil for religious reasons, or for philosophical reasons, which would include "I think it's crazy to risk my child's health for a vaccine that she doesn't need because she's not having sex".
They even put the opt-out online to make it easy for parents.
I don't support Perry's gardasil provision, and I fought the Gardisil vaccine in Virginia (even wrote about it twice in my column). But Perry's move was meant to make Gardisil available to people who wanted it, through health insurance and the state vaccination program; to do so, it had to be on the required list. His intentions were NOT to force parents to vaccinate their children -- he was convinced, maybe because of his relationship with Merck, that the vaccine was safe, effective, and most people would want to get it and needed coverage to do so. So while I see the Gardasil incident as showing poor judgement and innattention to the desires of constituents, I don't see it as a nanny-state issue.
You saying so convinced me.
You have no clue. Propaganda is good I guess, because Perry people try very hard, but I remember Pravda well.
