Why I reacted viscerally to Rick Perry's mandatory vaccine.......has nothing to do with kids.....it's lifestyle, pushing the new paradigm ..... insulting to parents who didn't fit within their predetermined vision .....vaccine starts out as optional..but quickly becomes mandatory, dictated by a "we know what's good for you" government.....

Lifestyle---that's the key word. Fits right into Obama's socialist "Safe School" programs for kids----starts off with inculcating our youth with the gay lifestyle and proceeds to other travesties.

Let's give the guy a break.....he accomplished every goal he set for himself in college (/snix).

Perry's college goals:

No. 2... to be Yell Leader (cheerleader).

No. 3....to be in the Ross Volunteers---Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.

I wonder why any woman who objects to Gardasil because it is a “lifestyle choice” would ever get pap smears and advise their daughters the same. Should men be offended if their wives and daughters have pap smears.

Because while we do find yeast infections or other (besides HPV) STD’s at pap smears, these findings are just incidental and there are more specific tests for the other diseases.

The only thing we are looking for with the Pap smear and the new liquid test is cell nuclear changes due to HPV. In the US, it’s almost always types 16 or 18.

The side effects are equal to or less than placebo. There have been no deaths. All of the serious events have occurred in similar numbers/rates as in the population that is not vaccinated.

The British Journal of Cancer journal had published a 5 year follow up article, online in November, 2006. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2360730/?tool=pubmed#__abstractid441395 The Gardasil package insert had information on the studies in children, and still does http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/g/gardasil/gardasil_pi.pdf (I have a copy of the original one, if anyone wants it), following 1122 girls 9-15 receiving the vaccine.
