I love it how paleo conservatives suddenly become fringe libertarians when talking about this vaccine.
Vaccines are, alas, a group activity, in that herd immunity is needed for any vaccination program to work.
The decision to mandate them was made with polio.
The truth is, many here want people who sin to be punished and live in a fantasy land where their kids won’t sin.
Actually the truth is the Cult of Perry would excuse ANY action by him because of their blind idolization of the guy.
NO Conservative should EVER be comfortable with the notion that a Government official, no matter how well intended, can mandate things be injected into children without the parent's prior consent.
Any rational adult should be seriously disturbed by what Perry did here. Conservative should be the last people advocating the power of Government overrides the parent's authority.
It is especially absurd of said "conservatives" to attempt to cloak their white washing of Perry in a phony libertarian cant.
Perry's actions here are more in line with something 0 would do then what Reagan would of done.
It utterly intellectually indefensible for the same people who claim to be "for limited Government" to turn right around an try to white wash Perry's corrupt attempt to massively expand his authority.
Or the partners their kids choose.
My friend, who is battling cervical cancer, married her high school sweetheart whom she adored and trusted. He infected her. She wishes there had been a vaccine offered, because now her strongest desire now is to live to see her children grown.
Remember the old AIDS commercial? Everyone your partner ever slept with is in that bed you share with him/her.
