I think the problem with this debate is it's three separate issues.

a. A vaccine that may not be as well tested as possible being offered.

b. A vaccine being offered to very young females to prevent a cancer causing, sexually transmitted virus.

c. Government mandates.

If each aspect had it's own thread and it's own debate, it would make sense. But what is happening it's all getting tangled into madness.

Personally,
a. It's not perfect, but neither were any of the previous vaccines offered. I remember polio. Life is trade-offs.

b. If I had a daughter, she'd get it. Life ain't perfect.

c. The government can just butt out.

Gov. Perry: If you're a girl, society dictates you are for fornication. Therefore, we will vaccinate you. Afterall, we do the same for our cattle.

a. Yep, No protocol is perfect. This study was huge and highly expensive. That being said, the FDA practically dictates the protocols to pharm companies. FDA gets no profit. The number of lives that were going to be saved by approval greatly outweighed that lost by delay.

b. yep.
c. yep.

You are a gift, meant just for me. Thank you.
