Texas Governor ORDERS Little Girls In His State To Get HPV Vaccine
 

Pretty scurry when you have a governor ordering drugs on the citizens of his state....

Are you against immunization shots?

Granted, it's a new vaccine. So I'm torn.
1. You have a vaccine that can prevent forms of cervical cancer.
2. You have a new vaccine that could cause other issues later on that haven't been tested.

*shrug*

I'm all for it.

"Welcome to Texas"
Vagina inspection station ahead

Yeah - I wouldn't let my daughter get a vaccine that can affect her reproductive system RIGHT when she's going through puberty and her reproductive system is developing.

10 years down the line they'll find there was a problem and there are hundreds of thousands of women that can't have babies. The company will say 'sorry', put out some pacifying cash and many couples will be torn/divorces/adoptions/depressions. No thanks - let people choose what they want to get a shot for unless it's something contagious.

its a vaccine, it doesnt say anything about inspecting vaginas

I guess you think the smallpox vaccine was a bad thing to

Freedom at its best

hey lets just get rid of all vaccines because every single one of them carries a small amount of risk :thumbsup

Or make it a personal choice :2 cents:

Whats the big deal

I wish I could get it but I'm tooooo old.

:(

They do.

I wonder about the mentality of parents that would refuse a vaccine for thier child when it just may save thier life later down the road.

Or maybe those who are opposed here arent even parents?

Agree BA - No person on the face of this earth has any "rights" to order the injections of kids for anything without either parental consent or a law (which would be passed presumably based on qualified medical advice and not on the advice of a drug manufacturer or the Governor of the State of Texas).

It's obvious Perry needs to be thrown in a jail cell and reminded what freedom and privacy mean. Sadly they are all hypocritical swamplife and have little concern for any children - other than to use them to fill their pockets.


PS The issue of health is another matter - that has nothing to do with either Merck or Perry. The former is a drugs manufacturer and is irrelevant. The latter is unqualified to have any medical opinion and undertook to observe all laws and serve his electorate - not inject them.

It's troubling because of Perry's ties to Merck and Women in Government, as well as his bypassing the state Legislature. He thinks he's his daddy, Dubya.

Hahaha the liberals dont know how to react to this one.
There is already MANDATORY vaccines for sexually transmitted diseases all over America lol.

So because you question Perry's motives you want to risk the lives of millions of young women in Texas? WTF is wrong with you?

The part they left out of the story is the parents CAN choose to decline the immunization, thats part of the program..

Thanks I'll have to go read up about him. :thumbsup

I hate the entire idea behind vaccines anyway.. My parents, even myself haven’t had any of these vaccines kids must have these days and we are healthy.

I already regulate which ones my kids can have. And since this isn't something that can be spread, no way in hell my 11 year old would ever be allowed to get it. Bs law or not..

Any parent that crams vaccines down kids throats just because a doctor tells you to shouldn't have kids.

well parents have the option of opting out. I don't see what the problem is.

To be honest I worry alot about what is injected in my kids. So many state mandates that they HAVE to have prior to entering school. For instance. My youngest daughter had to get one series of shots twice.. Why? Well the state inspectors came into the area my kids daughter doctor stores the vacinations and it was 1 degree off, so guess what I had to hold my 2 year old daughter while they jammed needles into her twice as much as was necessary. I have no idea what they are injecting. And whether I know by what the pamphlet they give me says or not, how the fuck do I know what they are putting in is a pure batch etc. Its scary to say the least. :disgust

For now. At some point if you want your kid to attend school you have to have the vaccination. So either you pay for private school, or dont send your kid to school, at which point you could face charges for not sending them. :disgust

some can live with out it while others need it.

The reason you haven't gotten any of these diseases is because vaccines have reduced the incidence of these diseases so much (at least in western countries), because other thoughtful parents have immunised their children. It's a silly idea to rely on anecdotal evidence that immunisations are a bad idea because "hey I never got immunised and I'm fine"

See for example how vaccination against measles in some developing countries has reduced measles deaths by up to 400,000 a year in just 5 years. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/.../en/index.html

Vaccines save millions of lives every year, to me it seems very irresponisble not to vaccinate. Obviously a brand new vaccination provides a new layer of concerns as there isn't the long-term data, and to me it wouldn't present quite as clear cut a proposition.

If there is an epidemic endangering the health of all the young women in Texas then the medical authorities like CDC should get them the vaccinations NOW.

Apparently, that is not the case, so why bypass the Legislature at this point?

one less?

Requiring a vaccine for a sexually transmitted virus for school children is fucking insane. Most will not have sex at all but have to take the risk that this virtually untested shot will actually cause them problems 20 years from now.

STUPID.

required vaccines are nothing new you all

Vaccines are good, but scary things. This law is just plain stupid; they require it but then basically say "you don't have to do it if you don't want to"....well then it's not required.

OMG... this just makes me mad!!! I personally think its NOT the government's job to mandate a person to do something with their body, especially when it involves risks. So many people just do what they are told without looking further into it. Most of the vaccines required these days are not only unecessary, but you actually have higher chances of suffering a severe side effect from the vaccine than getting whatever it is supposed to protect you against (Hep B is a perfect example... causes autism and a bunch of other junk in BABIES... and the kicker is... the risk groups are drug addicts and ppl who practice unsafe sex... OK, lets risk healthy babies in case later on in life they decide to act like idiots. Oh, and even then, the chances of them getting Heb B are lower than suffering a side effect of the vaccine). Oh yeah, and ON TOP OF ALL THAT... most vaccines are only effective for a few years. If you dont get regular booster shots (something no one does), whats the point? So you wont get chicken pox as a child... if you get it as an adult you could actually die from it!!! Ok, i'll just stop myself here

I did say some.. some vaccines are needed. And measles would be one, and so would any other problem that can kill off half of earth.

Cancer isn't anything even closely related to measles, polio, ect..

Look at the flu shot - people that get it still get the flu - just like people that don't get won't ever get the flu. Kids need to get sick to make the body stronger as adults, adults need to get sick to make us stronger old people.

The human body is built to get sick.. It's built to kill off anything that enters it. Give your mind and body the proper things it needs and it will produce results that have cured cancer, aids, and the even the flu. Introducing man made chemicals into your body at any level isn't good, so why is this?

Even better... One of my friends got the flu this year b/c of the vaccine!!!

I'm with you, CC...what's the point?

And it's so new...it doesn't seem fair to me to be subjecting little girls to something that hasn't really been proven for the long term yet.

This is why Kinky Friedman should have been governor ;)

True... Tho "opting out" assumes anyone has "opted in" - this is not the case. Why should any parent have to file affidavits and explain to anyone what they choose to do?

To cut to the chase - they are all crooks and need thrown in jail and wait ten years before letting em "opt out" :pimp

This is the problem I have with the Gov. trying to force this on parents.

Very valid point!! Neither the drug company or Perry has one clue about the effects (if any) of the product. All they care about is money and using all the usual devious methods to pump crap into as many kids as possible.

I'm all for it... HPV can get really ugly for girls.

I think its a good idea HPV is real problem

I also see both sides of that coin. While I am for cutting back on the cancer, And I know that if it were not required of them, LOTs would not have it, I see the new drug, and wonder how safe, and what could happen in the future.
