And yet it's being touted as some sort of miracle.
My guess is that Gardasil will actually harm more women than it protects and NOBODY knows what effects it will have when these young women are older and want to have children.

Here we go again with another anti-vaccination rant. I am tired of people claiming some moral relevance when it comes to basic health. If you want to attack something, try the government for overreach and mandates. Better yet, if the government would tie benefits rather than punishments to their mandates,the other side would bitch. (I personally like that choice.)
Vaccinations are not perfect. They protect the herd more than the individual. Much of the data cited is numbers without any viable population study to back them. If it were effective against only one strain, and that strain was common, vaccination would still be a good option.
Oh, my. Who wrote this article, and where is the actual documentation of adverse effects directly related to use of the vaccine?
Unfortunately, because of its open nature, VAERS is easily abused by anti-vaxxers. Literally anyone can enter a report of anything, so anti-vaxxers input stories of severe adverse events and then use VAERS as “proof” that a particular vaccine is horribly dangerous. Unless an investigation corroborates the report, an entry in VAERS means nothing.
The HPV vaccines seem especially prone to having unverifiable VAERS entries made about them. I guess part of the motivation for trying to discredit the vaccine is the ludicrous belief that somehow, girls who receive the HPV vaccine will suddenly become nymphomaniacs.
The HPV vaccine protects against the two strains of HPV that are implicated in the majority of HPV related cancers. It also protects against two strains of warts. HPV is implicated in about 5% of all cancers.
Since HPV vaccination started in 2006, the rate of HPV infection has dropped by half.
It is very important to give the vaccine *before* an adolescent becomes sexually active. Once they become sexually active, the chance of being exposed to HPV is extremely high. It is a good idea to vaccinate boys, as well, since HPV causes more than just cervical cancer.
I strongly disagree that it’s a “tacit approval of premature sexual behavior.”
Your daughter or your son could easily marry someone with the condition. That person could have made just one mistake in his or her life. If he was raised in a Christian home like I was, he or she might never have been told about the prevalence of STDs and the danger of dying from HPV. The assumption was that ignorance was bliss. It wasn’t.
A normal-thinking young person would not have a false sense of security if they were also given information about incurable gonorrhea. There are still dangers.
Sorry. If I had a daughter, I would not have her vaccinated wth this one. The research study was done on women over 25 years of age. Now it is being given to pre-teen girls with no study as to the impact. HPV does cause cervical cancer. But it is totally treatable if caught early. But Obamacare has been reducing the number of pap smears covered and doctors will be fined if they go outside the parameters set up by Obamacare. Not knowing the long term consequences of Gardasil, I would pass. And tell my daughter to be careful when picking a mate and don’t mess around yourself. HPV is completely preventable, but we would have to get back to a society that believes and practices telling the truth.
