“I am a libertarian. As a libertarian I believe in freedom so long as my actions don’t hurt another. If I am not vaccinated and my children are not vaccinated then, if they get one of these diseases they are very likely to infect others. That isn’t a libertarian thing to do to another.”
You’ve restored my faith that not all libertarians are off their nut.
Well stated.
I could be mixing those two religions up then. I don’t know the difference between Scientology and Christian Science Church. For now I’ll just assume you are correct that disregard for all vaccines is a part of the Christian Science Church and not Scientology. I will have to read about their differences though, mostly out of curiosity. Thanks for clarifying.
True, the one the Mayo Clinic left off was eating out! One of the biggest outbreaks of Hep B was from a restaurant worker infecting food and passing it along. Ala typhoid Mary. BTW I am sure some of those things go on at school(s), approved or not.
Generally, "Yes," but the suit must be brought and decided under the terms of the National Childhood Vaccine Act.
See Supreme Court Rules the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 Bars State-Law Design-Defect Claims Against Vaccine Manufacturers, which refers to the case of Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC, FKA Wyeth, Inc., decided in February 2011.
VAERS data cannot be used to prove a causal association between the vaccine and the adverse event. The only association between the adverse event and vaccination is temporal, meaning that the adverse event occurred sometime after vaccination. Therefore, the adverse event may be coincidental or it may have been caused by vaccination, however we cannot make any conclusions that the events reported to VAERS were caused by the vaccine.It has NOT "done a lot of damage."
As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil® were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS received a total of 18,727 reports of adverse events following Gardasil® vaccination: 17,958 reports among females and 346 reports for males, of which 285 reports were received after the vaccine was licensed for males in October 2009. VAERS received 423 reports of unknown gender. Of the total number of VAERS reports following Gardasil®, 92% were considered to be non-serious, and 8% were considered serious.
Summary
Based on all of the information we have today, CDC recommends HPV vaccination for the prevention of most types of cervical cancer. As with all approved vaccines, CDC and FDA will continue to closely monitor the safety of HPV vaccines. Any problems detected with these vaccines will be reported to health officials, healthcare providers, and the public and needed action will be taken to ensure the public's health and safety.
Thank you.
There may be an “Opt-out”
But America was founded on “Opt-in”
You could ignore her threads completely.
I suspect that if your favored candidate (whoever it is) was leading, you'd be busy helping to spin away that candidate's flaws. Unless your candidate has no flaws.
Do boys get cervical cancer? I hear that Gardisil also works against Hepatitis B because it is not necessarily a sexually transmitted disease.
That sounds good to me. At this point I’m not really for or against Perry but I am darned sure against BS.
Another thing that non-Texans don’t get about Gardasil is the impact on our Hispanic population.
1) Hispanics are a majority in Texas.
2) Hispanics in TX have an extremely high rate of teen pregnancy. (Shh, that means they’re having sex.)
3) Hispanics in TX have a high rate of poverty.
4) Gardasil is $360 (@ $120 ea.)
5) High teen pregnancy & poverty rates equals increased risk of contracting HPV.
6) Gardasil has the potential to save TX taxpayers millions in healthcare costs for our Hispanic population by preventing cancer treatments later.
There are lots of arguments against a Gardasil mandate. The above is an argument for a Gardasil mandate (properly done via legislature.)
Is that right? So, if you’re born here you have the “option” of becoming a U.S. citizen and abiding by our laws? LOL
Or not.
The dynamic that drives this is that when it's your kid, a scientist's answer that "we really don't know what causes (for example) autism" is just emotionally unacceptable.
So parents grasp at straws and try anything, no matter how whacked.
One can sympathize with them while still rejecting their views as public health policy.
Other vaccines are required for diseases that can be passed casually, i.e. breathing the same air, touching a doorknob after an infected person has touched it. HPV is passed through a behavior choice that is deliberate and carries other risks besides HPV.
Oh I know, your little princess will be 21 and married before she’s thrashed by Antwon, not like the likely average age of 13.
I simply don't want government dictating to me how I should be raising my child. I would certainly fight against the Obamas dictating what I should be feeding my child, but apparently, you are okay with that since the rate of childhood obesity is so high.
Good grief.
She went down quite a bit in my estimation. Reminded me of John Edwards, for pity's sake!
Here's hoping she drops out...
But who is to say there wouldn't be lists kept in the future?
You nailed it. That’s exactly how she comes across.
Thank you. I been racking my brain for the, “What is it?” but didn’t put it all together until your comment.
Well that could be done if enabling legislation were passed first. The EO bypassed the legislature.
