how bout we look at the other side of the issue then huh? Sure at face value it seems like a great idea and great concept. And really, the fact that Texas is requiring it free of charge for girls 9-18 is really pretty cool. Here's the thing though... REQUIRING it can be a slippery slope. Will all the girls react the same way? what if some experience side effects? potentially serious ones? I just think that Texas should make it free to whomever wants it but SHOULDNT REQUIRE it... I'm no doctor, but i just think we should be a little bit more careful with a vaccine that prevents cancer... after all, a vaccine is a little bit of the disease being injected in you. I just say we take some time to see how it will really affect people down the road before we start REQUIRING it.
just my take.
That's a great idea. When I first heard about this yesterday I thought it was a good idea to give them out for free and I still think that is. If they want it, that's great, if they don't, that's ok too.
