Even without taking into account things like mercury and cancer causing viruses and contamination, the vaccine makers themselves admit that there can be side effects, and under law if a vaccinatee is injured they are prohibited from receiving just compensation via law.

It's a cost/benefit thing. If you don't mind your child being injured a small percentage of the time (according to the drug industry) then no biggee.

Certain vacines are mandatory if you wish your child to recieve a public education.

Total propaganda. In most states the parent can simply sign a waiver, in West Virginia and Louisiana I believe it's a simple judge ordered court procedure, similiar to a legal name change, no biggee. Assuming you even want your kid to go to public school.

But notice how the article makes it seem like it's THE LAW that you must vaccinate your child. It's a sign of propaganda I think. Like a consensus reality propaganda, not saying the writers are deliberately deceiving people.

In a cost benefit analysis, if there's no benefit then there's only the cost.

Having said that, if parents are dumb enough to vaccinate their children for every little thing, then their children probably will be promiscuous.

I think the reality is that for most (dumb)people, this is a good thing.

Well I think that a lot of people are making a big deal out of this being sexually transmitted. I think HPV is a pretty poor example because it's something that most people don't know about and is not going to impact people's sexual decsion making at all IMO.

As far as only dumb people being for this I'm not sure I agree. I do agree that obv it all has do with cost/benefit, but cervical cancer affects a lot of women, and while the chance goes up if you are more promiscuous, I think that if even ifyou have 2-3 partners in your lifetime (depending on how promiscuous they are) you are up there as far as relative risk goes.

Because if it is sexually transmitted, one can choose not to be exposed to it (or choose not to spread it); unlike, for example, a disease that may be caught by someone coughing in one's face.

LOL.. at what age can you make these decisions meaningfully, and what about circumstances when it is not your choice.
