I am still trying to cope with the thought that girls as young as 12 are being given the unproven vaccine Gardasil over their parents' objections, and despite its unproven and suspect safety record.

Now, certain medical professionals are recommending that children as young as 8 with high cholesterol should be put on statin drugs.

Never mind that at that age, exercise and diet are a far more logical approach, let alone more successful, more healthy and less expensive, never mind that there is a risk that lowering a child's cholesterol may affect brain development.  Ignore what kind of a lesson will be taught by addressing a lifestyle issue with a pill at such an early age - bring on the medication!
