Then again, if a Bible-thumper's daughter ends up with an STD-related cancer, I'm sure there are a few passages of scripture that can be quoted..."wages of sin are death," etc.

Well, since this particular dad has obviously taught his daughter that this particular STD can cause cancer, perhaps she will be one of those who actually keeps herself pure until marriage.

In the meantime, parents are being lead down the primrose path by this pharmaceutical company, making them believe this vaccine will prevent cervical cancer (which it won't.)

But what happens if the man she marries happens to pass along this virus? Won't matter that she was a virgin.

What if she gets HPV from her husband?

The vaccine will prevent cervical cancer. I’m not sure how you can argue that it won’t since it is aimed at the most common strains of the virus that lead to neoplastic growth. And HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing.

Whether or not a child needs this vaccine is another question...

Yes and the wosrt part about this vaccine is the false sense of security it givews. This only protects them from certain HPV strains there are more that cause the same cancers that this doesn’t protect against at all.
