I’ve never understood the bro-ha-ha about Guardasil.
It’s a good vaccine, despite what the luddites say.
He was delegated the power to require vaccines by the legislature.
The repeat objection was “my kid is sinless and will never need it.” Yeah, mine, too — I hope.
“I’ve never understood the bro-ha-ha about Guardasil. It’s a good vaccine, despite what the luddites say.”
Well, the issue is that the government would decide whether or not the risks outweighed the rewards and not the parents or the individual.
So, you see, the “big deal” is the idea that the government always knows best, even when run by a “conservative.”
If you want to get it for your kid (I would if I had a daughter), knock yourself out. If you don’t than that’s your business, not the governor of Texas’s. To those of us who actually think we make better decisions than bureaucrats, it’s kind of a big deal.
JB, my concern was that I understood that Guardisil was mandatory. Someone emailed me with an explanation which shed a whole new light on the issue. I’ve been burned so many times on so-called Republicans that I look upon all R’s as suspect until my quibbles have been allayed. Thanks for your reply. sd
No, he wasn't.
The Health Dept. has the authority to mandate vaccines and they are under the legislative, not the executive branch.
No branch can legitimately delegate any of it's authority to another branch, and if you should have any evidence that they did so, I would appreciate your posting of it.
