Amigo (”amigo” since I judge you not on how you spell your name), your reading ability is in serious need of improvement.
You clearly only skimmed my post, and missed the 2/3rds pf content of that post.
Your glibness we see applies not just to the words you type, but to the words you read. You speak glibly, and read skimmingly.
OK, I’ll give you that. Your use of “bold” on the first part misled me as to what you thought was difficult.
But I consider myself hyper-sensitive when I sign my name to things (I actually may my state’s “use tax”, one of only about 300 people who do — so you can see I take my oath seriously).
I would have no trouble claiming a conscientious objection to Gardasil, if I had such an objection. That’s what it means, I oppose it because I don’t THINK it is right to give it to my kids.
It wouldn’t be a religious objection, but that wasn’t the only reason I could claim. In fact, the form so far as I can tell doesn’t force you to explain your objection, you simply site the 2nd clause as the reason for your objection.
I probably would have instead gone to my doctor, to get sound medical advice, and then used the doctor for my objection (because I don’t object to the idea of vaccinating against STDs, I simply would object to the medical rewards vs the risk/cost of doing so, and that would be a medical opinion which I would reach in consultation with a doctor).
Oddly, when our state had mandatory Gardasil vaccine, it was for 6th graders, and since my kids were older, I never had to do anything about it. There was no attempt to “catch up” on the vaccinations. I still opposed it, and wrote opinion columns opposing it and calling for the repeal of the law in Virginia.
