And now Merck is trying to get states to mandate the vaccine for boys.

My concern is the push to force vaccinate for a non-communicable disease or rather for a disease that is not transmitted via casual contact (like measles or even the common cold).

Yet Merck has been trying (and has been successful in some states) in making this vaccine mandatory for our daughters to attend school, despite the risks that are still not completely known.

			Gabby Swank was a straight-A student and cheerleader.

But that was before she became very ill following the standard dose of three Gardasil vaccinations, Attkisson reports.

You know the commercial. It showed teenage girls saying "I want to be one less" who gets the HPV virus, which is linked to cervical cancer.
