I actually posted a pro-vaccine comment earlier today, although I said I didn’t really think THIS vaccine falls into the category of protecting the PUBLIC health.
However, it is true that with some of these newer vaccines the side-effects, or suspected side-effects can indeed be worse than the disease.
Assume for a moment that these girls’ conditions were triggered by the vaccine. First of all they may never have contracted HPV at all. Secondly it may not have developed to cervical cancer. Thirdly, there is treatment for cervical cancer, there’s none for ALS.
There is an ad that I’ve seen on TV, I think it is for a vaccine for meningitis. It states on the ad that Guillain-Barre syndrome is a potential side effect. That is the total paralysis sometimes called “locked-in” syndrome. I think I’d rather take my chances with meningitis.
I know a fellow whose father-in-law died of this. They actually think he got it from getting the H1N1 flu shot.
There is NO reason to make the gardisil vaccine mandatory. NONE.
Sure there is. Read upthread.
