More HPV mandates spreading across the nation ping.
Is the government going to pay for the health care costs of m young girl if she receives this vaccine and becomes ill?
Does not the state have issues with the Federal Government and "unfunded mandates"?
Yer preachin' to the choir, hoppy! I'm totally with you...
There has been no protocol/trial on 9-11 year old girls completed! The are trialing 100 Japanese girls for 7 months starting this past December.
Supposedly, there's been enough fraccas about it this week that it is now going to our legislature, too.
Well, we will see.
Thanks for the ping. This situation makes me really angry. As the mother of three daughters, I can confidently say that my girls won't be getting this vaccine. I don't like the idea of the government telling me she has to and forcing me to "opt out" in order to prevent it. I also don't like the fact that there hasn't been any long term testing done. It is too "iffy" at this point, and even if it weren't, it is my intention to teach my daughters that abstinence is the best option for them for many reasons, not the least of which is our Christianity. I am tired of the government forcing sexual issues on them when I am not there to see.
Good. And let's hope they do the right thing.
That's kind of strange. How did I get warts in 3 months? I certainly didn't have sex when I was 2.
Some FReepers think it's no big deal. I think it's a bigger deal than Merck and the various legislators want us to know.
It's in every state now. Merck wants to get the edge on GlaxoSmithKline, whose product will be ready next year and claims to be better.
I hadn't seen this before, in any of the many threads about this topic. Good question.
Do you believe that vaccines cause autism?

Earlier today. FReeper beat me to it.
My email going to my delegates, any thoughts before it goes?
I am a resident of _______ and am deeply disturbed at the bill that is being considered mandating the vaccination for the HPV virus. This vaccine has not had nearly the amount of testing, including the tracking of long term effects for this vaccine. There is a far greater chance of a girl having an adverse reaction to the vaccine than getting the cancer, and the side effects include but are not limited to autoimmune phenomena, which is inflammatory arthritis. I am disturbed at the age that we are requiring this vaccine to happen in young girls. The most disturbing part of this bill is the fact that politicians are usurping me as to what is best for my child. There is no opt-out clause with the bill. This is a travesty and I am sure our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves as we speak. I ask you, as your constituent, to not vote for this bill as it is. This vaccine needs to be an OPT-IN and there should be more long term tracking of this, as I am positive that I am far more concerned for my child than you will ever be.
"This vaccine needs to be an OPT-IN and there should be more long term tracking of this, as I am positive that I am far more concerned for my child than you will ever be."
If you read any of mama texan's posts I'd say you are correct.
This is a good link from nvic.org. We're going to need agency help. I've already stuck my neck out and they know where I live. Not the best handling, IMHO, but I was flaming then, before the talk of taking it to the lege.

If this were a vaccine for any other disease, I bet 90% of you wouldn't care. This is silly prudery masquerading as genuine concern.
Several news articles have said this is a nation wide push by Merek.
Parents better get busy raising some HE-double L.
(Thanks for the pings, BTW :-)
I'm certainly not a prude, my contention is that the government is forcing a vaccine on everyone because many women do not go to a doctor every year. My sister and two friends had this and it was caught by a routine pap smear. But now the government is mandating this on all because of a few. There approx 150,000,000 women in this country and 4,000 deaths a year. This vaccination mandate is government overkill, again.
