Yep. It's hard work, and the media won't do it. It's hard work because understanding is always at the level of "detail."
Picking an example from the Gardasil debate, here: the opt-out for the HPV vaccine was the same one used to opt out of chicken pox, hepatitis, mumps, measles, etc. It requires swearing that one has a conscientious objection to vaccine. It is true that Perry made it easier to get the form that contains a suitable affidavit; but the expectation was (had to be) that a critical mass of the population (about 70%) would be inoculated.

That will never happen, because the Gardisil vaccine in and of itself is flawed. The vaccine is geared toward only females. If a teenage boy is infected with HPV he is able to infect sexual partners throughout his life. So the unvaccinated 30% of females will continue to act as a reservoir for the virus.
