No. You have to request thimerosal-free vaccine. It hasn't been phased out. Perhaps the first round of Gardasil will be free of mercury, but once it has go go onto the shelf with the other "required" vaccines, they'll give it as long a shelf-life as possible.

From The National Autism Association:

11. The actions taken by the HHS to remove thimerosal from vaccines in 1999 were not sufficiently aggressive. As a result, thimerosal remained in some vaccines for an additional two years. Thimerosal remains in several vaccines and with the addition of the influenza vaccine now being recommended for infants, children are exposed to more thimerosal today than ever before.

That's another thing, folks...you need to look at the bottle the shot is drawn from and make sure the stuff doesn't contain thimrosal. Read the label. Don't let them walk into the room with a pre-filled hypodermic on a tray and inject your kid.

Anyway, cervical cancer is highly treatable and ranks down on the lists of sexually transmitted diseases and cancers. Shooting up kids with untested serum for the condition shouldn't even be open to discussion, much less open to this kind of abuse.

Do any of you know about the threat of leprosy in the U.S.? They're trying to poison your daughters, meanwhile the borders are wide open and we have this:

"Americans should be told that diseases long eradicated in this country – tuberculosis, leprosy, polio, for example – and other extremely contagious diseases have been linked directly to illegals," Rep. J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., told the Business Journal of Phoenix. "For example, in 40 years, only 900 persons were afflicted by leprosy in the U.S.; in the past three years, more than 7,000 cases have been presented."

There are much more serious health issues to be concerned with.

But this cervical cancer vaccine "mandate" has created a very good backlash. Texas legislators are now discussing the entire vaccine situation, not just this one vaccine.

VACCINATION MYTH #3: "Vaccines are the main reason for low disease rates in the U.S. today..." or are they?

According to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, childhood diseases decreased 90% between 1850 and 1940, paralleling improved sanitation and hygienic practices, well before mandatory vaccination programs. Infectious disease deaths in the U.S. and England declined steadily by an average of about 80% during this century (measles mortality declined over 97%) prior to vaccinations.
