Check your link.

"My" link says I'm in Idaho. The link I provided to the California opt-out form says your broad brush generalization that vaccination is mandatory "in America" is false. Many states offer opt-out forms. I simply provided a concrete example.

Perhaps you need another example. Here is an example from Virginia. Care to spew about that one?

If you need a form for your state, start here

Natl' Cancer Institute-A Primer on HPV

Research has clearly shown that HPVs are the major cause of cervical cancer. Studies also suggest that HPVs may cause a fraction of the cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, and penis, and some cancers of the oropharynx (the middle part of the throat that includes the soft palate, the base of the tongue, and the tonsils).

Women who have many sexual partners have a higher chance of developing an HPV infection in the cervix. Infection with high-risk HPV types, specifically, increases the odds that a woman will develop cervical cancer. However, while HPV infections are very common, cervical cancer is not. The vast majority of HPV infections go away without treatment and do not cause cervical cancer. Studies suggest that development of cervical cancer depends on a variety of factors acting on women with high-risk HPVs. These cofactors include: smoking, having many children, long-term oral contraceptive use, and HIV infection.

National Cancer Institute-Human Papillomaviruses and Cancer: Questions and Answers-Reviewed: 06/08/2006

Key Points

* Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of more than 100 types of viruses (see Question 1).
* Most HPV infections go away on their own (see Questions 1, 4, and 5)
* HPVs are the major cause of cervical cancer. HPVs may also play a role in cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, and penis, and some cancers of the oropharynx (see Question 3).
* Although there is no cure for HPV infection, the warts and lesions these viruses cause can be treated (see Question 10).
* Researchers at the National Cancer Institute and elsewhere are conducting research on HPV-related cancers (see Question 11).

I checked out your links. I see a religious ferver and see no need to argue with you.

Live your life and I pray enough of your neighbors are vaccinated to protect you and your children.

If you think I am spewing it is because I have had the misfortune of watching people die from preventable disease. I am very sad to see lawyers knocking out the support for a very successful national vaccination program.

I have never seen a case of human rabies, small pox, polio or even rubella all thanks to mandatory vaccination programs.
