To this point Dan, I have not seen written reports but I have heard many parents talking about it on the radio.

And you can be assured, I will post links as soon as I have them. But I doubt you'll need me to do that. I suspect, from what I've heard so far reports will be rampant, at least, hopefully so, if this is as dangerous as the folks I've heard talking about it say it is.

This thing is only about 6 months on the market isn't Dan? I'm asking because I think that's what I heard.

And ntl, the important part of the post is that despite the school and media avowals to the contrary; if you have any concerns, you need not give your daughter this, or any vaccine, just because the school says so.

You can opt-out!

And personally, if it were me, I would opt-out my daughters. I'd stand back and watch fer a few years and see how this plays out. From what I've heard so far, if you're one of the unlucky ones, I'd bet you would have rather told your daughter that the best and safest means of preventing cervical cancer is to postpone sexual intercourse until her body has fully matured, and that the risk increases with the multiplication of sexual partners. Yeah, if yours is one of the unlucky ones, like the dramatically increasing number of autistic parents, I bet your child would have preferred your caution. Too, there's no saying they can't receive the vaccine at 14, or 18, or whenever they choose after that.

Never forget! the money element in all of this. Never forget! the rush, nor the deceptive means of promotion. There're reasons for such pushing. You, nor I, may know what they are, but it's always a sign to think it over, ah little more.

Also, I forget her name, but I heard the Texas state rep who sponsored 'a law' to implement this course of action, say she was surprised by Gov Perry's action; especially considering, there was no hope that the Texas legislature would pass it into law. Again, given all the anti-Bush people here, have you investigated whether Perry, like Bush, receives expansive pharma money. I hear he does. Call the Texas connection.

And be assured Dan, I will get back to you.
