Apples to oranges...someone with measles can spread it walking down the hall at school - that doesn’t happen with HPV.

But kids can walk down the hall at school spewing measles or whatever, because they are allowed a waiver.

So is that ok for you? It's ok for me because I'm consistent on the issue. If there's a waiver available against the latest "science" then a concerned parent can make the right choice for his/her kid.

It doesn't matter if it's crony capitalism for HPV or questionable components and risks of "standard" vaccines to me.

Obviously we agree that nobody should force a child to get the Gardasil shot, but do you think the state should be able "strong arm" the child to take any vaccine?

Yes, and everyone that chose to have the vaccine would be protected, wouldn’t they? Who would be at risk? The people that opted out...I have no problem with that.

I believe the govt had NO right to force any child to take ANY vaccine...but I can at least see the logic in working very hard to have most people vaccinated against things that are easily transmitted by casual contact in a school setting...the HPV doesn’t fit that criteria. The only reason it was done was to line the pockets of Merck shareholders...and Perry did their bidding, and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

There is NO conservative argument in support of what Perry did. NONE. ZIP. ZERO. If Perry can try to force kids to have the HPV vaccine, ‘because its for their own good’, why isn’t it OK for Obama to force people into govt manadated health insurance ‘for their own good’ Perry blew it. Period. He can try to explain it away anyway he wants, but everyone knows it was crony capitalism at its worst. Conservatives wouldn’t accept it from Obama, we shouldn’t accept it from Perry either. No free pass just because he is supposedly on the same team...at least not from me.
