What you inject into your child’s body is up to you but a responsible parent gets both sides of the info first. An informed choice is better than a blind one.
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection
You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus.
In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems.
There really are no "both sides" here. There is the evidential side, and the non-evidential (aka anecdotal) side.
HPV, including strains 16 and 18, is incredibly common; almost everyone catches some form of sexually transmitted HPV.
Unfortunately, those who cannot fight off the disease go on to develop precancerous lesions. The treatment for cervical lesions is extremely painful, and can leave one unable to have children. The treatment also can fail, making hysterectomy necessary. The treatment for throat or anal lesions is also painful; I do not know of a backup treatment that is comparable to hysterectomy if the primary treatments fail. I guess there is no choice but to go for chemo and/or radiation in those cases.
