Comments
why would anyone NOT support a cancer vaccine?
I'm a little leery of the government mandating what is still a relatively new vaccine for all little girls. It seems to be a rash move and Merck has said they're going to stop pushing for states to pass these sorts of bills.
It would be great to stamp out cervical cancer, unvaccinated girls are going to spread HPV by everyday contact with classmates.
On a related note: 50% of the sexually active population (male and female) will have HPV at some point. By the age of 50, 80% of women will have had it.
OH NO! I didn't proof that.
I meant that little girls ARE NOT going to spread HPV by everyday contact. It's an STD.
Whew...sorry about that!
They've added this language:
Yes this does sound like a good idea but mandating it is a little strong. If virginia has to do something to make them feel good about themselves they need to just highly recommend it to the people. Let them make their own decision if they feel it's safe enough for their own daughters.
The perversity of this plan is awe inspiring.
On one level take a step back - $1000 worth of drug and we're telling our 11 year old girls that this protects them from a disease. Scary thought...
On a chemical level, however, this is tantamount to a systemic rape of our young ladies. Every one of these girls will now have an identical genomic tag inserted into their systems. And folks act like an embedded subdermal microchip is freaky - THIS IS AN EMBEDDED GENOME!!! Unlike antibodies developed on an individual basis vaccinated women and girls will now be lined up for any maligned ghoul to purport any biological warfare with ease - we're giving the keys to the corpus out. Take the rosie glasses off, thinking caps on... a homogenous DNA is the surefire plan to prepare our society for the next killer virus.
HPV is a deadly disease, and everyone agrees it should be fought. We must step back and work towards mending a society that neglects children to the extent that such an abhorent plan becomes seemingly viable.
