On HPV Vaccine "choice"

[moominmuppet]

A really excellent blog post explaining how problematic it is to not make the HPV vaccine part of the required school vaccines (link snagged from joedecker)

I really hate the whole mandatory vaccines-for-school thing. Sure, there are religious exemptions, but it just squicks me out. Perhaps it's because an adverse reaction to a vaccine has left me in permanent, chronic pain. Perhaps not.

Better living through un-ethical medicine

I totally stole this concept from one of the myriad of political comedy things I listen to but if people are really concerned about the immunization, they should just make sure their daughters don't know what the shot it. Then the kid is still protected and in no way has been given the license by the jew run govt to be a total slut.

"Here you go honey, that's to protect against Djenghi Fever! who wants ice cream?"

By the time they know about the HPV or that they've been immunized, their minds have probably already cemented on whether they're going to have sex soon or not anyway.

What I love about the "vaccine gives license for licentiousness" argument is that it bypasses the issue of nonconsensual sex and statutory rape. I live in Virginia, a state that has one of the nation's highest rates of men over 25 *impregnating* girls under 17. This means that a lot more of these borderline molestations are slipping under the radar. Have any of these men even considered that their own daughters may be infected by molestation? Oh, but everyone knows that only gay people do that.

I'd thought that making it a part of pre-school vaccinations was silly. Then I'd heard that it's most affective if given when the child's a toddler. If that is truly the case (and not "oh, you'll need boosters when you're an adult" like with measles and the like), then there's no good argument against making it a required school vaccination.
