If the vaccine is optional then the patient pays.

If it is on the mandated list then insurance pays.

We can debate the merits of whether or not government should regulate their business, but the have and they do and they will.

So...if you believed that there were people that could use a cancer preventing medication and it was in your power to make it available to them at no cost, would you?

Remember, no one was forced into the vaccine, there was ALWAYS an opt out.

So...would you or not?

Don’t forget, when you’re in power and you’re weighing risk against benefit, adding a bit of crony capitalism tips the scales real fast. Do you know how powerful the temptation is to convince yourself you’re helping to fight cancer when the true appeal is paybacks or making big money deals?

Lots of people wouldn’t know about the opt out and would just trust the government. Perry already admitted his judgment on the issue at the time wasn’t trustworthy.

No, I wouldn’t because I would get the crony capitalism out of the picture.

Let's be precise. Gardasil does not prevent cancer. It controls , maybe, 4 of over 100 viruses.

http://www.gardasil.com/

GARDASIL is the only human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.

Notice that it says "helps".

GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL does not treat cancer or genital warts.

CDC What are the signs, symptoms and potential health problems of HPV?

Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems from it. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years.
