Both vaccines were tested for relatively short periods of time, revealed Dr. Haug, and researchers are yet to prove whether or not the vaccines offer lasting immunity and if a user's natural immunity to other strains not eliminated by the vaccines will be compromised. Dr. Haug said it is not certain if the protection offered by the vaccines will even lead to reduced rates of cervical cancer.

And yet they want EVERY woman in the country to have this shot.

Let’s see...

The shots costs a bunch...

You still have to get regular checkups...

You will never know if it worked...

It can have really bad side effects...

So, what is the point?

Well, you do know why they chose the HPV vax, don't you?

In all seriousness, though, I hope the issues with this vax will cause people to give Big Pharma a bit more scrutiny. The approval and testing process on this vax was no more lax than it is for all vaccines. No vaccine given to children is tested for carcinogenic, mutagenic, or fertility effects. None.

Vaccines are often tested not against true placebos, but against the "old" version or against another vax. So let's say that in testing, Vax A causes a few seizures. But the "control", Vax B, does too. They effectively cancel each other out and the vax can be approved.

Additionally, side effects outside of a certain window are deemed to be unrelated to the vax. Usually this window is only 72 hours at the most. So as an example, if you develop paralysis in the vaccinated limb 1 week later, it's automatically determined that it wasn't caused by the vax.

And of special note: You cannot sue vaccine manufacturers.
