Actually, no - I'll be along to point out that this:
is bad advice - compare the rates of US states where Abstinence is the sex education of choice to those without it, then look at which States have a higher rate of Teenage Pregnancy and STD rate vs those that don't.would be better putting more of that money in to better educating kids to abstain from sex
As an Analogy - would you suggest to a Novice Motorcyclist that they don't need to worry about Helmets, Leathers etc. if they just work on Not Crashing? Or would you suggest that Crashing is likely to happen, therefore it would be best to be prepared and properly protected?
I haven't read too much on the HPV vaccine, but I do know that the HPV virus is considered a key component in various Cancers - so it would stand to reason that a Vaccine should that stops the initial disease that causes the cancerous mutations would by proxy help protect against certain types of Cancers.

so you exceed the posted limit...
shits dangerous yknow. science sais so.
not sure if youv been outside recently. but theres a stack of niggers the world would be better without.
your presumption that you know better than nature is fucken hilarious.
I agree about the data behind Vaccinations - however do you not agree that it sets an incredibly dangerous precedent for a Government to be able to usurp your right as a Parent? Assume a benevolent Government and restricted only to the cases of Vaccines, its not too bad a scenario - but the Slippery slope is what happens when the Government deems something else detrimental to the public good? A Case studio in the 'treatment' of Political dissidents in North Korea shows the eventual outcome of where the slope leads.
Possibly one could use the existing legal precedent set in the states - from memory I believe Jehovahs witnesses were forced to let their child have a Blood Transfusion in order to save the childs life, but even then - the question must be - where do you set the limits on the State's power to overrule a Parents Authority?

Yup, scary shit.
But not as scary as leaving all that shit to the whims of fuckwits.
And if there's a point at which a majority might justify removing choice from a minority it might just be when the choices of the minority threaten the existence of the majority.
Only, if the alternative is death on that scale then who can justify the choice of the minority causing it?
Which isn't the case with the JW, they're only damaging their own. It's a different argument, and the slope begins somewhere in between.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
This is where I am not so sure - I will ferociously defend Vaccinations (and the mountains of scientific evidence to back them up) in the public domain, and others using their right to free speech are entitled to disagree with me, and for the record - I do think that people who don't like Vaccinations should have to spend several months in a Sub-Saharan African country so they can see what life is like WITHOUT immunization programs - but I am also not a big fan of Governments force an individual against their will.
The problem I see here - is that the Kommandant at the Gulag/Concentration camp would say the same thing - 'Ze Political Prisoners threaten ze well being of ze people, and zerefore Ve must protect ze people'
I suspect that in the near future we will (sadly) see a mass break out of a preventable disease with a significant death toll, then we will have to ask which is the lesser of the two evils?
The individuals right to be a Fuckwit or the States Mandate to protect the People from themselves?
For what it is worth - in an Ideal world, the populace would watch a public debate with an open mind and then evaluate each argument based on its merits and then have the rational thought to choose the right option, but alas - it is not an ideal world?
