The governor of Texas has jusr issued an executive order bypassing the Texas legislature and making it mandatory for girls entering the 6 grade (girls about 11 or 12 years old) to get the HPV shot against cervical cancer. I seem to recall that when this shot was given in Mexico to a lot of young women, later on they had miscarriages and lost their babies and became infertile. Could it be that the shots are to be given to such young girls so that the girls will not associate the shots with their infertility later in life? Please do not underestimate the Illuminata, the international worldwide organization, who wants to decrease the world's population.

I'd do a little more research if I were you.
The shots are being given as a preventative immunization, the same as the polio, rubella, pox and otherwise. They are completely safe, and prevent against life threatening disease ... for instance, cervical cancer.
I'm relieved that it's finally being enforced as mandatory immunization, instead of on request only. This will dramatically decrease the spread of HPV virus, which can, and regularly does, kill women AND men.

I don't think so. There is proof that this shot will almost eliminate cervical cancer. I would like to see where you got your facts about Mexico. Didn't really work then did it? Sounds like another silly conspiracy theory to me. I think this shot is a great breakthrough, and could save millions of womens lives.

I don't know if it is a conspiracy. I do think that it should not be mandatory & that the parent's should have the final say in this and all medical issues regarding their children.

This is where I have to agree. When taking things like our childrens health into consideration, a parent has the right to all knowledge available, then, using that knowledge, make choices that will benefit the child. Conspiracy or no conspiracy, the governor should not have stepped in and took over the care of Texas children.

I did some research and came across a page, If I am taking the information correctly It can cause infertility. I will send you the page in a message check it out and tell me if this is what you were talking about or not. I would appreciate it.

the current generation of preventive hpv are based on hollow virus like particle assembled from reccombinant hpv coat protein.

First of all, we can get exemptions, in Texas it's real easy. Go to www.vaccinetruth.com and they list them by state. It won't "erradicate" cervical cancer since it only covers 4 strains of hpv (there are 100) and no vaccine is 100% effective. They didn't study this vaccine that long. The FDA is notorious for pulling medicines/vaccines after they've already approved them. They just warned against the rotavirus vaccine after they approved it.

I think this vaccination is a bad idea, esp. after reading about your son and his vaccination. I think the children should be made aware of the dangers of the virus but the vaccination should not be forced on anyone. I'm not even sure they should give it to girls this young at all.

Well I don't know if it's a conspiracy or not but it doesn't matter to me on that aspect. The thing is it's way too early to be demanding all girls get this vaccination. It was tested for 4 years for side effects on approximatly 20,000 girls ranging from 16 to 26. Add to that only half received the vaccination the other half had a placebo. How can they know what the long term effects are? Let alone the fact it was not tested for pre-adolescent girls and they want to give it to 12 year olds? They are very different in physiology. I think it's just asking for a lot of trouble.

I do not want anyone telling me that I HAVE to give this to my daughters. There are a number of different strains of HPV out there that the vaccine does not protect against. I think sometihng should be figured out when it comes to the guys. That is where the HPV is coming from.

It's a good thing to prevent cervical cancer, but it should be up to the parents to decide if and when their daughters should be immunized. The governor is overstepping the bounds of what the state can do, and will probably be taken to court eventually. Mandatory vaccinations for communicable diseases is a public health measure. This isn't.

Sorry if I come across as rude or anything, that's not my intent, but I do not think so at all! I think that the vaccine is just as safe as any other, and that most of the reason that there is controversy about it at all is that it targets a *sexually* transmitted disease. The idea of STDs being prevented in sixth-graders squicks some people.

I don't recall hearing anything about the vaccine being tested in Mexico. So far, the knowledge about the side effects/long term effects of the vaccine isn't conclusive. However, it is believed to be no more dangerous than any other vaccine. If there were problems apparent, the FDA probably wouldn't have approved it. I think this really could be a breakthrough in protecting a lot of people against HPV and cervical cancer.
