Schwarz Wants Mandatory STD Vaccinations... For Kids.

Dr. Joe Schwarz, the darling child of all things moderate in Cereal City, is at it again. Actually, were one to even take a passing glance at our local newspaper, it would appear that he never quit. Since his defeat in the 06 primaries and his pathetic attempt as a write-in, he has since seen his face on the pages of the Enquirer more than ever! It is the first time (that I am aware of) that a local official was given more attention after he or she was no longer in office than while in it.

This time it is about the recent Senate decision pertaining to how schools should deal with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Their decision requires schools to inform the students and their parents about HPV and the much heralded vaccination. Students as early as 6th grade would hear of this sexually transmitted disease as well as the vaccination that has everyone buzzing.
Well, Joe is not happy with the decision. "You have the ability to within one and a half to two generations to wipe out cervical cancer," Schwarz said, "shame on the morality police, because no fewer young women are going to be sexually active. It is a given in this day and age."

Aside from the fact that there is no long-term medical evidence substantiating his triumphalist claim pertaining to the potential of the vaccine, he couldn't have been any more demeaning to our young children, or the parents that raise them! Little Jimmy and Sally are destined for sexual promiscuity? Oh, ye of little faith, Dr. Schwarz! And on what empirical evidence can the esteemed doctor make such an outrageous charge? On what basis does he make this prophetic assertion? Ah, nothing more than a hunch that he tosses around as an authoritative "given."

In the end, Dr. Schwarz, I hope that American parents are better than you make them out to be. I hope the same for America's little ones. It is also my hope that we can return to a sense of dignity and respect concerning matters such as sex and marriage. Then, Dr. Schwarz, we wouldn't need Big Brother shoving vaccinations in little Sally's arm.
