I've been seeing the TV ad pushing for this vaccine among young women. This vaccine doesn't guard against all forms of cervical cancer, only the kind that can be contracted as a result of a virus that results from early sexual activity with multiple partners.

The folks pushing this are encouraging girls to get a vaccine that will make it less of a risk for them, if they want to have sex all they want. They don't want the girls to think about all the other risks of sexual activity; STDs, pregnancy, AIDS. What's interesting, is that they're using the mothers of these girls to encourage their daughters, because at their age, the mothers ARE worried about cancer, not the problems associated with sexual activity.

Great points you have made! The bigger picture that I find scary is that years back the government was ‘good’ for defeating polio whereas now it’s come down to ‘what the government is forcing upon us’ and I don’t like that.

Merck didn’t design and promote this drug because they want young girls to have sex. They did it to make money. Lots of money. It’s not a free sex conspiracy.
