I agree with you about the whole mandate aspect. But I also feel that while people are entitled to their own opinions they aren't entitled to their own facts. And wrong facts usually lead to bad decision making. The quantity of misinformation about Gardasil is just staggering.
Many times, 'bad decision making' is in the eye of the beholder. And once again, whatever criteria a parent chooses for making a decision about a vaccine, particularly this one which is to partially guard against something not passed through casual contact, is none of our business.
