I'm not sure if your Thalidomide info is totally correct, but be that as it may, the FDA fast tracked Gardasil for approval from a company (Merck) which falsified their research data when it got approval for one of their other drugs, Vioxx, which was later pulled from the market because it killed a few too many patients.

The myriad class action lawsuits are currently in the works re Vioxx.

IMHO, mandatory vaccination is ludicrous and the opt out clause which is being touted, only works when the parents are responsible and actually know that they can "opt out" for their children. Even if the parents are "good", if both parents work, etc., many don't know what's going on in the schools. I also predict the "opt out" option will eventually be eliminated as more states adopt the people's republic of Texas health care model.

The amount of money which this vaccine will generate is obscene. Since it is "mandatory", insurance (and tax money) will have to pay and that means tremendous profits. IIRC, each shot is upwards of $300 and there are a series of at least 3 shots that are required. Do the math people.

Which is my point. This is not a public health issue. There are many more costly and deadly diseases out there that no one is calling for a mandatory vaccine for.
