Then too, some people will believe what they want to believe and it's usually the scariest information out there. And just so we're all on the same page, in this case "some people" is you. (Nothing personal, just that anti-vaccine hysteria and the lies and misinformation that get spread about the subject is a massive pet peeve.)Do you want to have an ideagasm?

jclalor 12 #52 August 22, 2011 Quote Quote Quote Quote Rick Perry is also the one who pushed for young girls in Texas to be innoculated for cervical cancer with a drug that had not even been approved by the Food & Drug admin.! Smells like bullshit. Lets see what a little checking reveals... Yep. It's bullshit. The HPV vaccine Gardasil was approved in june 2006 (and CDC recommends its use), Perry added it to the required vacination list in february 2007 I stand corrected! It's true! You really can look-up one subject and get two different storien from the internet! The bottom line is, Rick Perry is in bed with big business and profiting from it. I do know, his 'pushing' for mandatory injections of that cancer vaccine, pissed-off a whole bunch of people here in the State... especially women's groups. Quote Chuck You got snookered on that one too, Chuck. By making it 'mandatory', the cost was covered by the state. The mandate itself had an opt-out built into it. So if the parents of an uninsured child wanted to protect her HPV and cancer, and the only way would be for the state to cover it, you would object?

GeorgiaDon 379 #53 August 22, 2011 QuoteBy making it 'mandatory', the cost was covered by the state.Really? Not saying you're wrong, just checking if you're sure of that (I honestly don't know). Here in Georgia (the US Georgia) a number of childhood vaccines are "mandatory", especially for your kid to attend school, although they do have an opt-out provision in the case of religious prohibition and parental idiocy and such. The state doesn't pay for it, though. Similarly car insurance is mandatory if you want to register a motor vehicle, and the state doesn't pay for that either.

To be perfectly honest, I never so much as flinched over all this. I just involved myself in this 'conversation'. Being put in a 'general' group is a pet peeve of mine. I threw some things out there to see what would come back. That's a way of learning different views. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don From the EO: The Department of State Health Services shall make the HPV vaccine available through the Texas Vaccines for Children program for eligible young females up to age 18, and the Health and Human Services Commission shall make the vaccine available to Medicaid-eligible young females from age 19 to 21. Regarding non-insured: The Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) is a federally funded program in the United States providing no-cost vaccines to children who lack health insurance or who cannot otherwise afford the cost of the vaccination. The vaccine is mandatory in DC and Virginia with opt-outs.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyChimp 0 #56 August 24, 2011 QuoteOf the State, by the State, for the State? I disagree. I simply meant to represent the state's interest as a whole. Yes they do represent the people but at a higher level than the representatives for specific districts. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
