elfsLovely. It turns out that the Bush Administration has appointed a doctor whose former job was medical advisor to Focus On The Family to the FDA Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. This is the committee that will be assessing the "public need" for the vaccine that prevents the HPV viri that cause cervical cancer.
I'm pleased to note that the president of the Christian Medical and Dental Association, Gene Rudd, has said publicly that he would give his kids the vaccine, although he says that other parents should have the right to "protect" their children in other ways such as "to teach them abstinence."
What does he think those parents are? Stupid?
