I think Rick Santorum said it best.

I think we need to hear what Governor Perry’s saying. He’s saying that his policy was right. He believes that what he did was right. He thinks he went about it the wrong way.

I believe your policy is wrong. Why — ladies and gentlemen, why do we inoculate people with vaccines in public schools? Because we’re afraid of those diseases being communicable between people at school. And therefore, to protect the rest of the people at school, we have vaccinations to protect those children.

Unless Texas has a very progressive way of communicating diseases in their school by way of their curriculum, then there is no government purpose served for having little girls inoculated at the force and compulsion of the government. This is big government run amok. It is bad policy, and it should not have been done.

“at the force and compulsion of the government”

opt-out.

Agreed. 100%. Santorum said it best. Which does not contradict Bachmann's position at all. He just stated it far better. But the GOP smells blood and deigns to feast on it's most feared Tea Party insurgent. And FRiends are biting on that hook; I am a bit saddened by it.

How is Hepatitis B spread and why do we vaccinate against it?

The vaccine needs to be administered while they are still virgins, so the public health benefit is delayed. Also, FYI, those HPVs also cause cancers in men. There is no reason not to have sons vaccinated, as well.
