Do you think the new California law gives kids the right to refuse Gardasil?
On October 9, 2011, California Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 499 into law, which gives California kids 12 years old and older the right to get any STD vaccine, which currently includes Gardasil and hepatitis B, without parental consent or knowledge.
The law does not specifically say that kids can refuse the vaccine, but with the right to consent, I believe also comes the right to refuse. Do you agree?
If so, this is great news for all those kids 12 and older who don't want to get Gardasil, who have parents trying to force them to get it. They can now say no!
7 AnswersLaw & Ethics10 years agoQuestion about pig virus contamination in rotavirus vaccines?
In March 2010, a pig virus called PCV1 was found in all doses of the Rotarix brand of rotavirus vaccine. It has been there since the vaccine came on the market. The FDA took Rotarix off the U.S. market as a precaution. More recently, both PCV1 and PCV2, which causes serious disease in pigs, was found in all doses of the RotaTeq brand of rotavirus vaccine. The FDA decided to keep RotaTeq on the market, and reinstated Rotarix. http://www.ageofautism.com/2010/05/paul-offit-rota...
Why do you think the FDA decided that PCV2, which is a more serious virus, is okay to be given to all infants in the U.S. when it is combined with PCV1 in RotaTeq, when they previously took Rotarix off the market for just PCV1 contamination? And why do you think that just 2 months after the FDA pulled Rotarix for PCV1 contamination, did they decide that it is now safe, when there have been no studies done in the meantime regarding its safety to humans?
The FDA did say that doctors should warn parents of the contamination before giving the vaccine. I wonder how many doctors will actually do that? If your infant was recently given a rotavirus vaccine, did your doctor warn you of the pig virus contamination beforehand?

The United States' Vaccine Court just said it can, and did, which caused a woman's death.
7 AnswersInfectious Diseases1 decade agoAre you pro-life? What will you do now that all measles vaccines contain aborted fetus cells?
There used to be a pro-life alternative to injecting your children with aborted fetus cells in the MMR vaccine. Only the rubella portion contained aborted fetus cells, so you could choose to get the separate measles vaccine, and the separate mumps vaccine, skipping the rubella vaccine. Merck has now taken that option away from people. They will now only make the combined MMR vaccine, which contains aborted fetus cells. http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/publications/ne...
If you are pro-life, what will you do now?
If you didn't know that the MMR contains aborted fetus cells, here's the proof. http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/m/mm...
(Google WI-38 which is listed in the ingredients on the first page). It is from a female, 3 month old aborted fetus.
