The type of thing I post to the local sites. Do you think this shot is a good or bad idea?:

TEXAS REQUIRES CANCER VACCINE FOR GIRLS

Feb 02 3:31 PM US/Eastern


AUSTIN (AP) -- Gov. Rick Perry ordered Friday that schoolgirls in Texas must be vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, making Texas the first state to require the shots.

The girls will have to get Merck & Co.'s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, that are responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.

Merck is bankrolling efforts to pass laws in state legislatures across the country mandating it Gardasil vaccine for girls as young as 11 or 12. It doubled its lobbying budget in Texas and has funneled money through Women in Government, an advocacy group made up of female state legislators around the country....

One of the drug company's three lobbyists in Texas is Mike Toomey, his (Perry's) former chief of staff. His current chief of staff's mother-in-law, Texas Republican state Rep. Dianne White Delisi, is a state director for Women in Government.

Texas allows parents to opt out of inoculations by filing an affidavit stating that he or she objected to the vaccine for religious or philosophical reasons....

There has never been a law passed in the United States mandating vaccinations. Some regulations for jobs and services require vaccines, but even those rules have been successfully challenged in court.

Texas public schools now require about 40 shots (many of them multiple, like the MMR), but you, as a parent, can "opt out" of those injections. All the forms you need are at the link below. Fill out the forms before your kid starts to school, so you will not be targeted and harrassed. Schools are paid a per-head amount for vaccinating children, and if you cut into that revenue, you need to have the paperwork in order.

Also, if the school system or Child Protective Services tries to bully you into injecting your kid with no-telling-what, you can file a "Color of Law" suit against them. If they pretend they have the authority to inject your kid, they've broken the law. From the FBI's website:

"...That's why it's a federal crime for anyone acting under "color of law" willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive a person of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law. "Color of law" simply means that the person is using authority given to him or her by a local, state, or federal government agency."

This new move by Rick Perry is bad for a hundred reasons, two of the worst of which are:

1) This drug is not proven. No long-term tests have been done, but the drug companies' rubber-stamp FDA is trying to mislead the public into thinking it is safe. Many doctors believe it is a sterilizing agent, among other things.

2) Rick Perry issued this ruling as an Executive Order. The legislature would never pass it, so Perry paid back his drug company backers by asserting a dictatorial-like power.
