this is clearly sexist. the drug should be given to young men as well!
Why don’t they make it optional and let people decide.
Since the drug is out there, why don’t they just let people who want it get it for themselves?
Once they institute the vaccination as an optional policy (no vaccination choice allowed), very soon it will morph into a standard policy with the onus to opt out on the shoulders of the dissenters. After that, it will go the way of most bureaucratic operations, i.e., the pressure will be brought to bear on the non-conformists. Soon after, it will be uniform compliance without exception.
The “they’re gonna have sex so you might as well keep them ‘safe’” crowd hasn’t shown up yet?
Nope, is "American Idol" or some similar worthless garbage on TV tonight? The "they're gonna do it anyway" crowd seems drawn to that type of garbage.
Because it might case painful periods, loss of pregnancy, mutations, and have unexpected side effects.
Also people might demand that it actually be tested over several years ... and the stock market cannot wait.
In the long run, I dont really think they want to prevent you from getting cancer? If the doctor gave you a pill to make you healthy, you would never come back.
Which is why my child won’t be subjected to Gardasil vaccinations.
I made that decision after serious consideration, weighing the potential risks and benefits.
Very few potential benefits, an unknown number of potential risks.
With no family history of cervical cancer, it was less difficult for me to make my decision, than it would be for any parent who does have a family history that includes cervical cancer.
I can’t speak for any of them, obviously.
But I will not accept mandatory “experimental” vaccinations for my own daughter, under these circumstances.
And yes, I did vaccinate my child against certain debilitating diseases, knowing the risks and benefits.
What? In America? Your kidding right?
Jonas Salk was the same type of SOB. He tested his polio vaccine on himself, his wife and HIS OWN CHILDREN before anyone else. My heavens, they should have taken his kids away from him! This vaccine was practically untested when it was given to millions of children (The Polio Pioneers) who MAYBE would have gotten polio had they not been vaccinated.
Instead, the polio vaccine should have been tested for approximately 20-30 years to make sure children who received it would not later develop some side effect apparent only later in life. Now, polio used to paralyze about 25,000 people a year in the US, but hey, better safe than sorry.
Let these girls get HPV and cervical cancer. Serves the dirty little tramps right for having sex before marriage!
That’s just scratching the surface of things the medical community has been wrong about. We don’t trust them because they don’t deserve the trust. They’re going to have to earn it instead of getting all indignant that the ignorant unwashed masses should deign to question their current pronouncements. Their arrogant, condescending attitudes do nothing to help the matter.
The general public has a better memory for the debacles that have occurred than the medical community would like; and apparently, a better memory that the medical community has.
The usual reason.... $$$$$$$$

MOM Ping.........
Medical reasons, actually the unknown medical effects of this drug, not moral reasons is why I oppose this drug being mandated by the government for our daughters.
This might also qualify as a nanny ping.
I object to it being mandated just on principle alone. I just can’t see that a bunch of non-medically trained politicians who can’t even oversee that the DMV or post office is run right, is qualified to make personal medical decisions for me.
A Pap test can detect abnormalities that could lead to cervical cancer. Mandating a vaccine is not necessary.
If the HPV vaccine had been as thoroughly tested as the polio vaccine, there’d be less resistance. Aside from he fact that polio is a highly contagious disease and HPV isn’t, there’s no need to mandate the vaccine.
