Where did I say that? It should NOT be pushed on children. And they should NOT be using scare tactics to make a buck.
Why aren't they trying to cure this instead? There are more victims of this than cervical cancer.
Endometriosis is a common health problem in women.
This "misplaced" tissue can cause pain, infertility (not being able to get pregnant), and very heavy periods.
Pain is one of the most common symptoms of endometriosis.
About five million women in the United States have endometriosis. This makes it one of the most common health problems for women.
There is no cure for endometriosis,
I'll tell you why they aren't feverishly working on a cure..........only 5 million women would need the drug as opposed to 144 million being scared into using Gardasil. It's called PROFIT.
I already said I do not think it should be a mandatory vaccine, but in any case parents can easily be exempted from vaccinating their children.
I reject the assertion that it should not be given to children at all because the evidence is that it is safe and that it is most effective when administered prior to infection by HPV.
With any vaccination the parent is required to sign a release form saying they have been informed of the possible side effects of vaccination. If a parent doesn't want to risk these for their child, they can refuse the vaccine.
Why aren't they trying to cure this instead?
Wow, so you're bashing one effective preventative because it doesn't treat a completely different disease. Why didn't they make a vaccine for malaria? Why not a vaccine for HIV? Why not a vaccine for athlete's foot? There are thousands of other possible diseases you could point to and ask, "Why not this one?" when the real question is "Why this one?" So "Why this one?" Because they had a starting point to tackle it from. Research is ongoing into other diseases, and treatments and cures will be made as progress allows--and no doubt you will fling your arms in the air and say "The sky is falling!" because they don't sit on the cure for 20 years making sure it has absolutely no side effects.
I'll tell you why they aren't feverishly working on a cure..........only 5 million women would need the drug as opposed to 144 million being scared into using Gardasil. It's called PROFIT.
That's part of the reason, and as I already pointed out, the profits from Gardasil will help subsidize R&D for less profitable drugs.
