To me, this isn't the same thing as passing out rubbers.
If this can prevent cancer...
This is a BIG IF...
And even if it does prevent cancer, no one is denying the increase in teen sex that follow.
My 17 1/2 yr old and 16 yr old got the first shot in August. Their Doctor recommended it (and he has a daughter, we’re friends, so it isn’t about money or agenda for him). I trust his expertise. They also received the Meningitis (sp) shot...and eldest had a minor reaction.
Agreed. I also agree that the vaccine shouldn't be mandatory.
People need to get past the stupid ass thought process that a shot or not a shot is going to in some silly ass way instill morals and judgement.
The issue here is the availability of a vaccine that apparently is succeful in activating the body's natual responses to attack and destroy a viral infection which can lead to the development of a cancer.
If people don't want their kids humping everything in sight - teach them to have the respect for themselves not to do so and wait for a meaninful relationship.
Otherwise, chill the hell out on (the voluntary use of) a vaccine that might save someones life.
Take your hands off of your eyes.
