pinging for actual medical input, not silliness.

“”Let’s say it causes just one or two cases of ALS every year out of a million doses that are given. What if your daughter is the one?””

How many daughters does cervical cancer kill?

... primarily because men can’t get cervical cancer

And they can't get pregnant, either. Funny about how that affects one's behavioral choices, don't you think? The obvious negative consequences of screwing around are pretty d*mn one-sided ... so why aren't we telling girls this?

Oh come on! I am so sick of hearing the holier than thou parents on FR talking about how this wouldn’t be a problem if other people’s daughters abstain.

Ridiculous and it is ignorant.

YOUR daughter can abstain all day, let’s just hope your daughter’s HUSBAND does as well.

Of course they will mysterio! And we all know that good little Freepers will have good little children who will marry good little men.

(that was total sarcasm by the way)

They recomend getting the vaccine up to 25 years old so after I had my girl the doctor asked if I wanted to have the vaccine. When she was telling me about it she said that at my age it would be useful more if I were going to have more sexual partners. I figured I would go ahead and be happy with the partner I already have and I declined. It makes me feel like they are using it more for protection against some std’s and passing it off as protection against cervical cancer. No matter the protection it provides, our daughters need to know more about the risks.

Very well stated! You’re absolutely right...just because one person abstains, doesn’t mean that the other has.

Ping!

Ummm, so your answer to not getting vaccinate is that the cancer probably won’t kill you if you catch it early enough?

Yep. But husbands who don't sleep around are unlikely sources of the virus. I hate to pat myself on the back, but I am one such husband and suspect I'm not such an anomaly as the enemedia would like us to think. Not all men have the morals of Tom Cats, particularly conservative men.

Which is ridiculous IMO because they have found that oral cancer is also linked to HPV. Boys should at least have the option as well.

Girls who plan to remain virgins until marriage have no need to get it.

As long as they marry men who are also virgins. If they marry a man who had unprotected sex with a woman who was infected with HPV, they will probably be infected. Planning to remain a virgin until marriage is a lofty goal, often not achieved.

This article was restricted to ALS as a possible side-effect of Gardasil. From the little I've read,, there are a lot of other problems young girls have had after receiving Gardasil.

The vaccine hasn’t been completely tested in males yet, but it is in trials.

.......so why aren't we telling girls this?

Because it is not in the best interest of the Pharma industry.

See slides 15-18. Guillian Barre is one of the causes people are linking the vaccine to, yet the incidence with the vaccine is the same as without.

As for VAERS, anyone can file a report. I can get a tetanus vaccine, and report that a week later I developed heart failure afterwards. That doesn’t prove a correlation, but the general public seems to think that if it’s in VAERS, it’s true. These are unsubstantiated reports, and must be viewed that way.

I’m not saying that Gardisil is NOT causing paralysis, but rather it has yet to be proven.

Also keep in mind that ANY substance which is introduced into the body carries with it the potential for an adverse reaction, some of which are severe in an extremely small percentage of the population.

Or all the males who want promiscuous young girls available.

I agree with you. However, there is no option for boys/men because it has not been tested on them. This is not a cervical cancer vaccine, it is a vaccine against some STDs, some of which cause genital warts and others cause cervical cancer.

My opposition to this vaccine really has nothing to do with the morals of young girls, including my own daughter, but rather the lack of morals displayed by Merck in pushing to have this vaccine added to the list of mandated vaccines.

I see absolutely no need for this to be forced upon 11 year olds, and my daughter will not be getting it this summer.

Given Merck’s antics with Gardasil, that’s more than fair.
