"I have a feeling that some of these people don't know what a cervix is, let alone how they are treated for cancer. And heaven forbid we introduce vulvar, vaginal, anal, penile, head, or neck cancer, or recurrent respiratory papillomatosis."
LOL.
Actually, I think they know. They just want sinful "sluts" to die and/or have their genitals cut out because they had evil sex.
It's the only explaination for the hysteria --- no such outcries of "untested" and "abuses of power" came out with the chickenpox vaccine or the rotovirus (? may be another one) vaccine --- which were implimented with similar testing and similar authority by Gov. action. (I think GWB signed those, those.)
Did you know that the traditional cure for hysteria is stimulation -- either manual or with a vibrator -- leading to orgasm? "Hysteria" is Greek for "uterus," as well, I believe.

You have no trouble making ugly - and untrue - statements about others and yet you refuse to acknowledge the very real possibility that Merck is in this for the money only. They are a business, not a philanthropic organization.
Women will continue to die from cervical cancer from the remaining 16 HPV strains this vaccine won't prevent. That's a reality you choose to ignore.
I guess you have to ask yourself if one kid goes to school with chickenpox, how long before the other 20 or so in his class get it?
Ditto for HPV?
It's not hysteria to ask these questions. They're really pretty basic. And yes, it is also basic to question under what circumstances should I let the government what medical treatment to subject my child to. It is CONSERVATIVE to ask when and how government should exercise power over you for "the greater good." If "the greater good" is not a scary term to you, it should be.
That said, if Perry and friends would work hard to make this opt in and to stress the kind of parents-in-the-kid's-face education we see in the anti-drug campaigns, they would make many allies.
Wow. I have to say that I find that statement appalling. There are two legitimate questions to be asked here:
1. Does the cost/benefit ratio of this drug warrant administering it to one's child?
2. Does the governor have the authority to declare by Executive Order that all children will receive it?
To claim that those who are raising concern over this want girls to die or have their genitals cut out is disgusting and over the top. You should be ashamed.
