Weckstein: Let families make informed decisions about HPV
Repeal HPV vaccine mandate
Norb Weckstein
Weckstein lives in Roanoke and likes to examine both sides of issues.
Virginia should repeal the law that mandates vaccinating 11-year-old girls for the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Vaccine manufacturers are in business to make money. Recall the pandemic scare when they got the government to buy their swine flu vaccine. It was a false alarm, and the government ended up destroying millions of doses of paid-for vaccines. Now it’s HPV, and they have invested many millions in lobbying doctors and state governments to try to make inoculations mandatory. Virginia complied and is now considering a repeal.
If your kids are going to “interact” with my kids, then all involved should get the vaccine.
