Physicians, Surgeons, Parents form "Hands Off Our Kids" Coalition Against Mandatory Gardasil
Advertisements [?]

The Association of American Physicians (AAPS) and the American College of Environmental Medicine will release a coalition statement on Gov. Perry’s Executive Order RP 65 regarding the HPV vaccine.

Prompted by Texas Governor Perry’s executive order to mandate the HPV mandate, medical, civil liberties, parental rights and other groups have joined together to form a new national coalition.

Calling themselves the “Hands Off Our Kids Coalition,” the more than 60 signatories to the statement are: PROVE, Texas Legal Foundation, Texas Eagle Forum, Congressman Ron Paul, former Congressman Bob Barr, the National Vaccine Information Center, Citizens Against Government Waste, Frontiers of Freedom, the U.S. Bill of Rights Foundation, The Liberty Coalition, and numerous Texas physicians.

To be completely fair even though Rick Perry here in TX made this vaccine mandatory, one can file an affadavit to opt-out. How easy it is to file this affadavit is unclear, but it's most certainly not like filling out a "yes-no" form and that's that. The State is not going to let people opt out that easily.

However the question becomes why does one have to go through the trouble of OPTING OUT when in reality it should be OPT IN.

Anyway this new group of doctors, parents, and activist groups opens a new front in the debate over mandatory HPV vaccine care of the merging of corporate (Merck) and State interests - which in my opinion is detrimental to the democratic process where the PEOPLE decide not State governors.
