For the second year in a row, the House of Delegates has voted to repeal a state mandate to vaccinate girls before entering sixth grade against a virus that is linked to cervical cancer.
The House passed the bill, HB1112, by a vote of 62-34 Friday.
A similar bill passed the Republican-controlled House last year but failed to advance beyond a Democratic-controlled Senate Education and Health Committee. Republicans now hold a majority on that committee after taking organizational control of the Senate this year.
The General Assembly passed legislation in 2007 adding the vaccine to the state's list of required immunizations for children. The law has an opt-out clause allowing parents to refuse the HPV vaccine for their children after receiving information about the link between HPV and cervical cancer.
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the United States, infecting more than half of sexually active men and women at some point in their lives, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most infections don't cause immediate symptoms, but the virus can cause cervical cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide.
The bill's sponsor, Del. Kathy Byron, R-Campbell County, said parents and doctors should decide whether to have girls vaccinated against the virus. The House on Thursday rejected an amendment stipulating that parents still could choose to have their daughter vaccinated after receiving information about HPV from the state health department. The amendment was proposed by Del. Chris Stolle, R-Virginia Beach, a gynecologist.
Del. Jeion Ward, D-Hampton, voiced concern that children from low-income families would have more difficulty getting the vaccine if the state repeals the mandate. She also expressed dismay that more female House members did not get involved in the debate.
"We have a vested interest in what happens to our bodies," she said.

Virginia House Votes to End HPV Vaccine Mandate
I thank God that the Virgina House is waking up to the dangers of the Gardasil vaccine.
VAERS data show that Gardasil has been associated with 24,184 adverse events since its debut in June of 2006, including seizures, anaphylaxis, paralysis, transverse myelitis, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS),(and many more), and even cervical cancer. VAERS reports 41 cases of cervical cancer following vaccination with Gardasil! [Info is from VacTruth.com website.]
In addition, there have been something like 100 deaths associated with the vaccine.
HPV vaccinations
According to an online newsletter I receive, people in Australia are suing Merck over bad reactions to Gardasil (the anti-HPV vaccine).
Mom or Dad – think about this.
You receive a card in the mail box during the summer and go the doctor for a check-up before registration or he first school day.
Once the doctor is done with looking in their ears/eyes, open wide say AHHHHH, smack a small hammer under their knee caps...then you hear "just wait here. We’ll update your child’s vaccines".
Then someone else enters the room with a tray of syringes.
Do you ask what is about to be injected into your child? Probably not. Why? Because we want to trust our doctors.
I’ve personally refused certain shots for my children.
Example: medical offices intended to inject my children with vitamin D or K and charge my insurance. How can that be determined without a blood test?
Think!
Ask the questions!
I would change doctors
Judging by your adventures in the doctor's office, you need a change.
Getting the runaround explanations and trying to foist injections just to charge the insurance company are not just incompetence, but more like fraud and bad medicine.
That was 15 to 20 years ago
in regards to the vitamin shot. Please don't focus on the insurance charge but rather that some parents simply don't ask.
My wife didn't ask. She knew they needed certain innoculations because the school required them and it was that time in their lives for initial shots and boosters.
If your doctor wanted to
If your doctor wanted to inject vitamin D or K into your children, you must have taken them to a witch doctor, I know of no licensed ethical doctor that would do that without proper tests.
As far as vaccines, they are DEAD viruses, it is extremely unlikely to have a reaction to them and in the rare instances that reactions are reported, doctors have been hard pressed to definitively link the reaction to the vaccine..
Replies
Have you received a vaccine lately?
I've had reactions to some, others? Nothing.
Yet - everytime I got a flu shot? Well golly gee....guess who experienced flu-like symtoms? Thank God I never experienced similarities to Yellow Fever or anthrax...although my arms (depended which side's turn it was) did swell up later the same day after the anthrax innoculation.
As far as the innoculations to my children - you weren't there. My bride and I were. I asked the question and was given a BS reply.
Problem is that it is
Problem is that it is impossible to have flu like symptoms related to a vaccine that contains DEAD viruses. Statistically when a vaccine is administered to hundreds of thousands of people, of those who had symptoms or had died would have been the same regardless of whether or not they were vaccinated.
Have you given thought to the fact that where the flu vaccine was given to you also had some people who were visiting the doc with the flu and you picked it up?
It's possible
But not likely.
Yet each year when I got that flu shot (Navy) I experienced the same thing.
From WebMD:
Some people have cold-like symptoms, including sniffles, headache, runny nose, sore throat, cough, and body aches for a day or two after getting the flu shot. In some cases, you may also experience a low-grade fever.

Some state bureaucrat hired
Some state bureaucrat hired for life does not deserve power over my family decisions. State mandates suck. It's time to remove power from the state.
