A total of 1,637 adverse reactions to the drug were reported to the Food and Drug Administration as of May 11 this year. In what Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called a "catalog of horrors," the 371 serious side effects reported in this list included spontaneous abortion and fetal abnormities in pregnant women, paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome and seizures.

There may be perfectly good arguments against the use of this vaccine. This isn't one of them.

Every treatment ever developed has side effects and patients who have bad reactions.

Unless the incidence of these is compared to the number of vaccinations performed and the number of health problems avoided by the use of the treatment, it is impossible to make a judgment whether the treatment is a good idea.

For example, the US had over 20,000 cases of polio in the year immediately before the vaccine became available. Unfortunately, the vaccine itself caused polio in something like one in 1M cases, resulting in about a dozen cases a year.

That was a horrible tragedy for the dozen who got the disease and their families. But which is worse, 21,000 cases a year or 12 cases a year?

Focusing solely on the side effects of a treatment can result in very bad decisions being made.

Your case might have some merit IF the claims of this “vaccine” were accurate, which they are not.

The uneducated will have a false sense of security, and that is already evident when you ask anyone what they think of this vaccine.

In truth, it leaves white and Hispanic women UNPROTECTED against the types of HPV which after repeated exposure causes cervical cancer in them.

So what if it MAY help in protecting 10% of the population against 60% of HPV. NOT telling everyone ALL the FACTS leaves 90% of women unprotected against the HPV types which is most likely to effect them, but because they THINK they are protected, they will forego regular PAP testing.
The end result will be an INCREASE of cervical cancers causing death, as well as an increase of health problems resulting from side effects already known, and perhaps some that aren’t known as present.

The best “cure” is abstinence, and living a clean, moral life.

Another issue is, if you want it, PAY FOR IT YOURSELF. Don’t steal MY money to pay for something I don’t want or need.

All this info can be found at the CDC site.
