The panel also advised that vaccinations with Gardasil begin in boys as young as 9 years old.

they can recommend anything, but you as the parent have the final say. Now I am all for vaccines, and have allowed them thus far. However this, not a chance.

in some cases parents have the final say, yes. however, the consequences of some of these choices are worse. certain vaccines being refused and they will not let your kid into school. a few rejections will get you pulled into social services. eventually, this will be required. government is taking away parents slowly but surely.

in fact, thats one of the goals listed on "the naked communist". google it and read the goals.

This means we are slowly taking away responsibility from children to participate in safe sexual activity later in life. Now they can run around freely without the fear of this sexually transmitted disease. Craziness!
