Charles, there is no long term study on the efficacy or safety of Gardasil because there is no population group who were vaccinated long enough ago.
And Charles there was no mandate sending your rafting or joining the boy scouts.
BTW, have you vaccinated your son with Gardasil? If not why not?
Neither of my kids have received a Gardasil vaccination. I opposed mandatory Gardasil vaccinations in my state.
You were equating a vaccine in general with specific actions taken every time you did something. They are not comparable in any way. Gee, I even specifically included that some vaccines have to be repeated, and maybe need boosters later on.
You seemed to be hung up on “mandatory” things. If you are only hung up on “mandatory” Gardisil vaccines, you should make that explicit. You gave what you thought was an audacious analogy of mandating life vests, so I pointed out that the Boy Scouts of America mandate life vests, and they don’t appear to be evil.
And you don’t HAVE to send your kids to public school either, you can opt-out in several ways, including home schooling. And in Texas, you don’t HAVE to get vaccines, you just file for an exemption.
