I'm not sure your screen name suits you if it is short for Limited Government.

Read the info from the CDC. This virus is discovered in a routine visit to a girl or woman's ob/gyn. Most cases of the cervical cancer occur in women who have not had regular gyn exams or pap smears. Pap smears are covered by all insurance and since it is preventive it is covered usually at 100%. Why do you feel the government should be able to trump a parent, daughter, pediatrician and/or ob/gyn's decision. Did I wake up in Amerikastan today?

I don't know the specifics of this virus, but in general, I'm for protecting children with vaccines (if they are generally safe). Why? I hate to see a child die because of a parent's fringe religious beliefs. Centuries ago, there were people who refused their child medical treatment, because they believed a particular illness was a gift from God, and that humans had no right to interfere. That was wrong, this is wrong.

Now, if there is genuine concern about safety and side-effects, I support the parents.
