Actually if you tried to opt out, you had to opt out of all vaccinations, you know those with a proven track record.
Now try and explain why he didn’t offer an opt in plan.
They use the same method to teach your children all about how fun the gay life style is, of course they offer an opt out provision, if you child brings home the note, and on rare occasions when someone raises enough stink to make the parents aware.
No. And in fact, the very premise of your claim is absurd. You are not "opting out" of taking a vaccine. You are opting out of the REQUIREMENT that you must show you have taken a vaccine in order to enter the public schools.
You could take every vaccine, and file an opt-out for Gardisil for religious reasons, or for philosophical reasons, which would include "I think it's crazy to risk my child's health for a vaccine that she doesn't need because she's not having sex".
They even put the opt-out online to make it easy for parents.
I don't support Perry's gardasil provision, and I fought the Gardisil vaccine in Virginia (even wrote about it twice in my column). But Perry's move was meant to make Gardisil available to people who wanted it, through health insurance and the state vaccination program; to do so, it had to be on the required list. His intentions were NOT to force parents to vaccinate their children -- he was convinced, maybe because of his relationship with Merck, that the vaccine was safe, effective, and most people would want to get it and needed coverage to do so. So while I see the Gardasil incident as showing poor judgement and innattention to the desires of constituents, I don't see it as a nanny-state issue.
