I actually agree with the religious fanatics that parents should decide when their daughters should get the Gardasil vaccination.
How much do they actually know about the long-term effects of Gardasil? I think lobbyists for Merck were heavily involved in the Governor of Texas' executive order mandating the vaccine for girls entering middle school, and it was overturned by the Texas legislature. A competing pharaceutical company is also developing a vaccine against HPV, Cervarix, which is currently in clinical trials. Once it is on the market, this should drive the cost down from the high cost of $360 that Merck, which currently holds a monopoly with Gardasil, charges.
