What evidence? The studies that I read in Feb and March were on 16 to 25 yr olds. A study on 9 to 12 yr olds was to start in Japan in Jan 2007.

What mechanism do you propose to magically make it fatal for 9-12 year olds when 16-25 year olds experience nothing significant?

No. I'm "bashing" because they're making a vaccine for a RARE disease that will make them more money.

?? Are you mad that they're attempting to save thousands of lives, or that they might make some money doing it?

BUNK.

Not bunk. Most drugs manufactured do not turn a profit, their production is subsidized by drugs such as Gardasil.

The human body changes between the age of 9 and 25. A LOT.

They are fooling a great many women that they NEED this vaccine because they could contract a RARE disease.

They sell a drug that will benefit less than 1%, to many who won't need it, to subsidize research? Yeah. That's honest. Why'd they rush it to market and lobby so hard to make it mandatory? Because GlaxoSmithKline and Roche have vaccines too but are testing them longer. Less MONEY for Merck if they beat Merck to market.
