Virginia House approves bill to end HPV vaccine mandate

  (NaturalNews) Controversy over the safety of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has led to a resolution to end mandates requiring young girls to receive it. If passed by the Virginia state Senate, a bill recently passed by the Virginia House of Delegates will end mandates put into place in 2007 requiring 11- and 12-year-old girls to receive the HPV vaccine before entering sixth grade.
  
  "We just want to make sure parents are evaluating the risks of what they're giving their daughters, and not a legislative body," said Del. Kathy J. Byron (R-Lynchburg), sponsor of the bill. "I don't think that we have the medical degree to make those decisions."
  
  The House voted 61-33 to end the mandate, leaving only Washington D.C. with HPV vaccine mandates. Texas Gov. Rick Perry attempted to mandate the HPV vaccine for young girls in 2007 through an executive order, but lawmakers effectively blocked it.
  
  Merck and Co.'s Gardasil and GlaxoSmithKline's Cervarix are the two HPV vaccines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for preventing certain types of cervical cancer. But both vaccines have a long and dirty history of causing severe harm and death in girls that have received them.
  
  Not only are the HPV vaccines a considerable threat to young girls' health, but a NaturalNews investigation revealed in 2007 that they do not even work. According to the evidence, the FDA knew since at least 2003 that HPV is not even linked to cervical cancer, but has continued to collude with drug companies to push the dangerous vaccine on the nation's youth.
  
  There are also numerous cases of serious adverse events and deaths in girls that have received the vaccine, including 1,300 negative reactions to Cervarix in the U.K. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026293_HPV_paralysis_vaccines.html), and numerous deaths both in the U.S. and abroad from both vaccines (http://www.naturalnews.com/029632_India_HPV_vaccine.html)

  I remember this incident. My dad was pissed, saying my sisters shouldn't have to take this vaccine.

  A homeopathy site might not be the most unbiased thing in the world. Especially since they have such riveting essays about who or what is 'biased' against homeopathy, to the point where they even list HISTORY as being biased.
  
  So anyway here's what wiki has to say about it's safety: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPV_vaccine#Safety
  
  Forgive me if I continue to assume that politicians don't understand medical in the slightest and that Natural News sounds like a real hack job.
  
  EDIT: Oh wait of course they support the autism=vaccine thing. Good to at least have proof that Natural News has no idea what they're talking about EVER.

  Could you give me a link to the article that says that "History is biased"? And what's to say that bias is always bad? To me, bias simply shows that a real human being wrote the article. This is my biased opinion of course, and I'm sure that your biased opinion is to the contrary!

  Because thimerosal (mercury) definitely does not damage the brain right?

  I think the last few paragraphs are dumb. Post hoc fallacies all around.
  
  But I think the legislation is a good thing. It shows that the house is thinking in the way that they should be thinking.

  Cute, really. You keep sourcing from some of the most painfully one-sided fake news sites I've ever seen.
  
  And there's never been enough mercury in vaccines to cause any real damage. There's generally more mercury in healthy fish than there is in vaccines.

  Woah woah. You can't seriously just be okay with bias. That's like saying it's okay to preclude without evidence, or to ignore other possibilities.
  
  It's always important to reduce bias to as little as possible and to entertain the idea of other possibilities, that is, that your idea might be wrong.

  More importantly, the information that is made readily available should be as unbiased as possible.
  
  Especially when it sways a person to make a life or death choice.
  
  What if someone didn't take the vaccine and ended up dying when they would have lived if they had taken it? And what if they took it, and died because of it, but they would have been fine not taking it?
  
  Information like this....it should be a crime to have such strong biases while publishing.

  Luckily Fox News won a court case wherein it's perfectly legal for them to lie about whatever they feel like because apparently they're not news, they're entertainment.
  
  Doesn't stop people from taking their word as gospel of course. The average American still wants someone to tell them what they want to hear and give them a boogeyman to blame everything on after all.

  Every person wants to be told what they want to hear.
  
  That's the definition of what they want to hear.

  Well, yeah, but I mean to the utter exclusion of any evidence to the contrary.

  lol, 'dangerous vaccine on the nation's youth'.
  
  loaded articles are more entertaining than informing.
