There is no way that the effects of a drug that is given to girls at the onset of puberty can possibly be known without decades of research. How do they know that these girls won’t be sterile when they reach their twenties or that they won’t have complications with pregnancies or birth defects.

Because the test cohort went on to have children some time ago. The vaccinated group's pregnancies were more successful than than the control (placebo) group by a small (possibly statistically insignificant) amount. The children born to this experimental group also have, I think, approximately 0 risk of congenital HPV disease caused by the targeted viruses, such as the debilitating recurrent respiratory papilloma.

They have been posted before, but here are some facts from medical authorities, not blogs:

FDA page on Gardasil, including 464-page clinical review.

CDA: Q&A Concerning Safety and Efficacy of Gardasil

CDC: Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Minutes, discusses cost-effectiveness of Gardasil

As for the thousands of "adverse effects," I wouldn't worry much about those. Almost anything can be reported as an adverse effect, whether it be swelling at the injection site or perhaps symptoms days later. VAERS tracks these as very raw data and does not claim that, "Product X causes Symptom Y." Furthermore, many people have adverse reactions to needles. Combine those effects with the coincidental development of juvenile illnesses, and you get the kind of scare the LifeSite uses to get page views. Given a large enough supply of needles and volunteers, I could associate--to use LifeSite's term--placebos with Guillain-Bar syndrome, fainting, dizziness, juvenile arthritis, schizophrenia, drug use, pregnancy, dye jobs, faddish clothing, or any other unwanted outcome under the sun.
