[QUOTE="lovehammer, post: 1154488, member: 20753"] My oldest daughter was caught up in the Rick Perry mandated Gardasil HPV mess. I am by no means an anti vaccination guy. I vaccinate my cattle too. The whole Gardasil thing was a bit intrusive in my opinion. I understand the need to vaccinate for communicable diseases. It really is a public health concern. However, it's a stretch to compare pertussis, tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, measles, etc. to HPV. HPV is only transmitted one way and it may help to prevent 70% of cervical cancers and helps to prevent genital warts. That rate is by no means similar to the results of most vaccinations. Personally, I would have liked to wait a couple of years to have the STD talk with my daughter. I did find out that a 12yr girl is mortified by the term genital wart. Also, I don't think public health was Perry's main motivator. The makers of Gardasil were campaign donors and Perry stood to personally gain financially from the mandate. So my issue was a semi-effective vaccine mandated by a man that's using his office to make laws that make him money. I'm so glad I live in a free country. [/QUOTE]
