That's a pretty weak commentary against the vaccination.
I think the biggest obstacle is the cost of the 3 stage vaccination - $360.
My grandmother died of cervical cancer, and it is an issue in my family. Perhaps that sways my judgement a bit, but I support Couric on this.

I respect your opinion - I might agree with you. But that is really not the point. There is simply no denying that this is a controversial issue. Traditionalists oppose mandatory vaccination for 11-year old girls as sending a very wrong message. Couric was clearly stepping into a political debate.
