Gardasil Vaccine Doubts STILL Growing!
Published by Jenny August 20th, 2008 in STDs, Teenage and Child SexualityThe LA Tmes recently reported that concerns are still growing about the Gardasil vaccine, the supposed “first ever cancer vaccination.” While reading this story, I came across this quote. “The crux of it is that we know how to prevent cervical cancer,” Dr. Karen Smith-McCune says. She then goes on to say that it’s with regular Pap screenings and asks if it’s worth the money to vaccinate everyone or get them all regular Pap Smears.
Hmm…
Do you know that up to 90% of HPV infections actually clear up on their own anyway? That there have been 18 reported DEATHS of girls who received the vaccine? Also reports of paralysis, miscarriages and outbreaks of genital warts?! HELLO! No Thank you!
And why are we recommending that we vaccinate girls against a sexually transmitted disease before they are legally allowed to have sex?! And why are my tax dollars paying for it?
Why is it that people can’t get it through their heads that we are not mindless sex-starved animals looking for the next thing to jump in bed with? Why can’t parents realize that if they EXPECT thier children not to have sex, they probably won’t.
