    Good job California. Of course, it is not a true mandate, because
    parents have the option of opting out of the life-saving vaccine.

    Requiring 11-year olds to be vaccinated against a sexually transmitted
    disease conveys the message that they are expected to be sexually
    active at that age or soon after, and that is not a message I want
    conveyed to my daughter. A government mandate to be vaccinated against
    a disease which is not spread by casual contact in schools is an
    unwarranted intrusion into family life.

    The reality is that many 11-year girls will soon be sexually active.

      A government mandate to be vaccinated against

    And you have every right to decline the vaccine.

    I was vaccinated against rubella when I was eleven or twelve, and it
    wouldn’t even have occurred to me to see this as a message that I was
    expected to get pregnant in the imminent future.  I had the sense to
    grasp that this was something that was meant to protect me for life so
    that if and when I was pregnant at some undetermined far-off future
    point, I would be protected then.  Kids have a lot more sense than we
    often give them credit for.  ;-)

    This is not to say that I can’t think of any reasons to be potentially
    wary of the vaccine (currently, we’re in the Catch-22 stage of not
    knowing whether there will be long-term effects and not having any great
    way of finding out other than trying it out), just that I don’t see this
    as one of them.

    On that, I agree with you.

    Vince, how is it a mandate if ANY parent can exclude their child?
    It can be a mandate if it isn’t Mandatory.  Look it up.

    True. What they are mandating is that parents act like parents and make
    a decision.

    Be sure to be listening and paying attention when your daughters tell
    you that they are about to have their first sexual experiences and
    want you to arrange for them to have the vaccine. I am sure that they
    will tell you, particularly as they go to a school where such activity
    does not ever take place.

    Vince has trouble with complex concepts like being able to opt out makes
    it non-mandatory.

    You do realize that it doesn’t protect you for life though, only about 10
    years or so.  As part of my pre-pregnancy bloodwork when I told the gp we
    were trying, was to test me for rubella antibodies.  I was no longer immune
    and had to have a booster shot.  She said that vaccinations usually need
    boosters every 10 years because the immunity wears off.  just a FYI in case
    you didn’t know.

    Sarah is a GP, so she’s probably well informed about this, I’m well
    aware that different vaccines work in different ways and need different
    number of shots to get lifelong or relevant time period immunity (bear
    in mind that a lot of diseases are much more dangerous to older people
    so even if pregnancy is a big concern life long immunity is probably
    still the aim).  My understanding is that rubella given as part of MMR
    with 2 injections at different times, usually does provide life long
    immunity, that doesn’t mean it’s not a sensible thing to test for, but
    given how few women do present for pre pregnancy check ups, the check is
    usually done during early pregnancy blood work (I’m not sure what they’d
    actually do if it came back negative at this stage, the vaccine can’t be
    given in pregnancy and as the disease has a long incubation period, if
    there did happen to be an outbreak you’d probably be aware of it too
    late to avoid exposure). Tetanus, is one that I think is still
    recommended for every 10 years, though I don’t think that is practiced
    much and instead it’s given when wounds occur.

    Cheers

    I don’t know whether rubella immunisation protects for life (that was a
    figure of speech ;-)  ) but it almost always protects for longer than
    ten years.  I’ve had to look at a lot of routine bloods on pregnant
    women in my time, including a lot of checks for rubella immunity.  In
    that time, I’ve only ever come across one woman in whom the vaccine had
    worn off.  (Which would make you the second.)

    Of course, it may be a bit more common in the US, because the women
    whose rubella results I’ve been looking at have largely been the women
    who’ve been vaccinated at the age of around 11 or 12, whereas the US has
    had it as part of the infant immunisations for much longer.  Maybe that
    extra ten years means that there’s more chance of the jab wearing off –
    it would be interesting to look at some comparative statistics. Anyway,
    as Anne said, it’s now part of the MMR with booster, so hopefully cases
    like that will become even rarer.

    All the best,

    Sarah

    The vaccine is too new to really know.

    I think it is known to protect for a number of years, but beyond that,
    there is no way to know.

    The facts are no one can tell how effective Gardasil is at preventing
    cancer; certainly much less than most think . A recent Wall Street
    Journal article made that point. Amid growing concerns as to safety
    and effectiveness the Texas
    Legislature repealed Gov .Perrys  executive order mandating HPV
    vaccine for all sixth grade girls ;these concerns are outlined in the
    April 16  "the Wall
    Street Journal" article questioning the effectiveness of
    Gardasil Mercks HPV vaccine.  Gardasil been
    "dogged with uncertainty’ as to it’s  effectiveness      read
    more
    http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=67980&nfid=rss...
    These and other concerns caused the Texas repeal. The feeling  was
    summed up by Republican Rep. Dennis Bonnen bristled at the governor’s
    criticism of his bill.

    "We should not and are now not going to offer the 165,000 11-year-
    olds
    in Texas up to be the study group for Merck to find out what the
    implications of this vaccine would be for these girls," he said.".

    ….

    The same point was made in the New England Journal of Medicine
    "Policymakers, clinicians, and parents have a keen sense of urgency
    about HPV vaccination. On one hand, the vaccine has high efficacy
    against certain HPV types that cause life-threatening disease, and it
    appears to be safe; delaying vaccination may mean that many women will
    miss an opportunity for long-lasting protection. On the other hand, a
    cautious approach may be warranted in light of important unanswered
    questions about overall vaccine effectiveness, duration of protection,
    and adverse effects that may emerge over time. HPV vaccination has the
    potential for profound public health benefit if the most optimistic
    scenario of effectiveness is realized. " http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/356/19/1991

     It ‘s a little technical but basically it says that the amount this
    vaccine will reduce cancer is unknown. The only think known for sure
    is that mandating this vaccine will be very profitable for the
    maker.     Thanks Vince

    Actually, the article was misleading. It focused on teens who already
    were infected with HPV, which we hope the 11-year olds aren’t.

    Anyway, if you want accurate information on the vaccine, go here:

    Note from Ilena Rosenthal:  May God protect our daughters from ths
    fiasco in the making … and all the PR flacks who are all over the
    internet trying to sell this debacle.

    To watch fools like Jeffrey P Utz, selling this unproven and
    potentially dangerous and deadly unnecessary vaccination as "safe" …
    shows how infiltrated Usenet is with the Pharma / Quackwatch flacks.
    In this case, they use a man who after having a "restricted" medical
    license for a handful of years … came to Usenet and the blogworld to
    tell everyhow how great vaccinations are.

    Judicial Watch Uncovers Three Deaths Relating to HPV Vaccine

    More information is always necessary before jumping on any new
    treatment. Since we are speaking of our daughters, this is a warning
    we cannot afford to ignore.

    Read this on Judicial Watch’s Web Site

    Event Reports Obtained from FDA Detail 1,637 Adverse Reactions to
    Gardasil

    (Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch, the public interest group that
    investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released
    documents obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
    under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, detailing
    1,637 reports of adverse reactions to the vaccination for human
    papillomavirus (HPV), Gardasil. Three deaths were related to the
    vaccine. One physician’s assistant reported that a female patient
    "died of a blood clot three hours after getting the Gardasil vaccine."
    Two other reports, on girls 12 and 19, reported deaths relating to
    heart problems and/or blood clotting.

    As of May 11, 2007, the 1,637 adverse vaccination reactions reported
    to the FDA via the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)
    included 371 serious reactions. Of the 42 women who received the
    vaccine while pregnant, 18 experienced side effects ranging from
    spontaneous abortion to fetal abnormities.

    Side effects published by Merck & Co. warn the public about potential
    pain, fever, nausea, dizziness and itching after receiving the
    vaccine. Indeed, 77% of the adverse reactions reported are typical
    side effects to vaccinations. But other more serious side effects
    reported include paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and
    seizures.

    "The FDA adverse event reports on the HPV vaccine read like a catalog
    of horrors," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Any state or
    local government now beset by Merck’s lobbying campaigns to mandate
    this HPV vaccine for young girls ought to take a look at these adverse
    health reports. It looks as if an unproven vaccine with dangerous side
    effects is being pushed as a miracle drug."

    Judicial Watch filed its request on May 9, 2007, and received the
    adverse event reports from the FDA on May 15, 2007. Judicial Watch has
    posted the adverse event reports below.

    (A recent study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine,
    also questioned the general effectiveness of Gardasil.)

    No. 1600 or adverse events after the Gardasil was administered. Many of
    the adverse events were after the patient had more than one vaccine. And
    many of them were minor, like swelling the size of a golf ball, which
    was better the next day.

    Many of the adverse events are not related to the vaccines at all.

    And some are reported more than once.

    This should be 1600 or so….

    Using antibodies as a measure of immunity is junk science

    Rubella vax is just another useless vaccination
    http://www.whale.to/v/rubella9.html

    that cripples plenty

     The Chronic Rubella Viremia Support Group is a group of over 200 health
    care professionals who submitted to rubella vaccination and ended up with
    chronic debilitating symptoms attributable to rubella vaccine.  The founder
    of the group, Katy Fox, RN, suspects that many other health professionals
    were adversely affected by the rubella vaccine.  When 20/20 did a story on
    the subject, she says, over 600 people responded.

    Yeah, but vaccination is holding up well against the truth, but every lie
    must die eventually, even vaccination

    "In October, 1972. a seminar on rubella was held at the Department of
    Pathology, University Department, Austin Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.
    Dr. Beverly Allen, a medical virologist, gave overwhelming evidence against
    the effectiveness of the vaccine. So stunned was she with her investigations
    that it caused her, like a growing number of scientists, to question the
    whole area related to herd immunizations. Dr. Allen described two trials:
    the first trial concerned army recruits who were selected because of their
    lack of immunity as determined by blood tests. These men were given
    Cendevax, an attenuated rubella virus that is supposed to protect. They were
    then sent to a camp which usually has an annual epidemic of rubella. This
    occurred three to four months after they were vaccinated, and 80% of the
    so-called immune recruits became infected with rubella virus. A further
    trial shortly after this took place at an institution for mentally retarded
    people with similar effects.  Additional disturbing evidence was sent to us
    by a Melbourne GP who was in the United Kingdom at the time that Chief
    Health Officer Sir Henry Yellowlees, had released a press statement
    (February 26, 1976) informing doctors that, in spite of high vaccination
    figures, there had been no detectable reduction in the number of babies born
    with birth defects."–Dr Archie Kalokerinos & Glen Dettman "Does Rubella
    Vaccination Protect?," Australian Nurses Journal, reprinted in The Dangers
    of Immunisation p54

    no vaccine protects againts anything, they just line the pockets of
    allopathy

    they make it up as they go along, they said one mumps vaccine protected,
    then they said it was completely useless, after using it for decades

    just think of all those booster shots http://www.whale.to/v/schedule.html
