It shouldn't be mandatory
Good, we agree.

You mean Slick Rick didn't make it mandatory for little girls in Texas to be vaccinated with Gardisil?

Why don't you tell us again how insignificant a $24 billion industry is.

Worldwide, it's roughly equivalent to the pet food industry in the US in size. And US pet food is growing far faster as a market.

In the scheme of US healthcare, it's less than a drop in a bucket.

Let's assume the $24 billion is only the value of vaccines in the US (even though that's actually the global number). The cost of healthcare in the US has been estimated at $3.4 trillion per year. So vaccines make up a whopping 0.7%. Which is a gross overestimate given the disclaimer regarding the global value of vaccines rather than just that in the US.
