An adopted teen who has lived in Port St. Joe, Fla. since she was 3 faces possible deportation to England for refusing a vaccination, she and her mother say.
Simone Davis, 17, said she has no need for the vaccine Gardasil, which guards against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus virus, because she is not sexually active, ABC News reported.
But the U.S. government requires female immigrants between the ages of 11 and 26 to receive Gardasil shots before they can become citizens.
Simone was abandoned as a baby in England and adopted at 3 by her paternal grandmother, Jean Davis, who married an American and moved to Port St. Joe, Fla.
Jean Davis started applying for citizenship for Simone nearly 10 years ago, ABC said.
As a devout Christian who has taken a virginity pledge, Simone argues she is in no danger of getting cervical cancer and sees no reason to get the vaccine. American-born girls are encouraged, but not required, to get the vaccine.
Simone and Jean Davis sought a waiver on moral and religious grounds, but were turned down. They have 30 days to appeal the ruling. Without citizenship, Simone can be sent back to England, ABC said.
"I kind of feel like they may be experimenting with immigrants to see how we will react and then give the vaccine to citizens," Simone said. "If it is such a great vaccine, why isn't it mandatory for everyone?"
Err the shot is for women. And I don’t have any daughters so no. I guess I’m not in violation of the terms of my stay?!
That is a lie.
What you don’t think that the parents of “anchor” babies are gaming the system? Shouldn’t primary care-givers be permitted all the legal opportunities available to them to stay with their children?
What actual law does this refer? Not some regulation some ultralefty in the State Dept. dreamed up to benefit some company he used to work for. Why do you think some corporation trumps the Constitution?
She is not an anchor baby. You have been corrected on that several times. You insist on falsifying the facts. You’re a liar. A persistent liar.
In this particular case my hand is raised as you have no clue what an anchor baby is.
Adopted by her paternal grandmother.
Grandma married an American.
Grandma started applying for citizenship for her grandchild (10) ten years ago.
Gardasil isn't the end all, be all for avoiding some forms or types of genital warts.
Regardless whether the child has signed and intends on honoring her pledge, it doesn't mean her future husband has done so. Gardasil doesn't prevent cervical cancer. It merely vaccines certain ways cervical cancer can be contracted. I've not heard or read where guardisal is a mandatory requirement for children born in the United States who have parents who are American citizens.
I have read where there are some serious side affects for some people when they take the guardisal vaccine.
I have a novel idea! Let's vaccinate all of the children born here of illegal aliens.
The grandchild and the grandmother who married an American are not trolls nor is she an anchor baby as she was born and adopted in England.
You do know what an anchor baby is, don't you?
And you lie.
You obviously can't tell when someone is trying to draw a parallel....
You lie.
Err,,,Sorry,,,I thought you were a woman,,,My Bad,,,
My Grandbrats(step) will never take that shot,,,Ever...
You’re a liar and you can’t be trusted.
Liar.
I mean unless you think that what the federal reserve has been doing is constitutional.
Please do try and make a little sense as I see nothing in your response which a.) leads to any discussion. B.) makes any sense whatsoever. 3.) what were you attempting to convey with your screaming about parallels>
Actually, there are very few people in this world that are truly free... But if you want to seek freedom you need to start by looking outside of your cage.
Well according to you, since it’s the law, I should bow down before. Yes, you think I’m terrible because I’m not a shill for the government & the Federal Reserve like you are. So what?
Educated beyond their intelligence?
