QUOTE Gov. Rick Perry's executive order has inflamed conservatives who say it contradicts Texas' abstinence-only sexual education policies and intrudes into family lives. Some critics also have questioned whether the vaccine has been proven safe. The House voted 118-23 on Wednesday to approve a bill that would keep the vaccine off the list of required shots for school attendance. The measure now heads to the state Senate, where more than half the members are co-sponsoring an identical bill. "Dammit. It's our right as Texans to let our children get cancer-causing infections if we want to!" -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

It's a double-edged sword really.
Yes, the vaccine is pretty effective...yet there are no long term trials to determine its safety. Also, it is mandatory thanks in large part to lobbying by the manufacturer of the drug, Merck That right there is shady.
