Yes it was. Further, there is no evidence in the medical literature that Gardasil is responsible for any of the diseases that have been attributed to it in poorly sourced stories such as this one. Numerous clinical trials both pre and post-approval have shown Gardasil to be both safe and effective.
I have had many discussions with numerous MDs in regard to this vaccine. I’m not telling anyone to not have their daughter vaccinated, I’m just stating my position on not having my own daughter given this vaccine at 11 years old.
My position and opposition to this vaccine has nothing to do with morality and some blind faith idea my daughter will forever remain a virgin. My position is based upon my own research and my opposition is to the state mandating this vaccine.
HPV is not a communicable disease in the same way as measles, mumps, or chicken pox are communicable diseases and for that reason alone there should be no mandate for it.
Really? Has there been a trial showing what is going to happen in ten to twenty years when these girls enter child-bearing age? What about in thirty to forty years when they enter menopause?
Numerous other drugs (which unlike Gardasil actually treated something) have been initially viewed as "safe and effective". Merck lost a fortune on one of these, Vioxx, and is lobbying to regain some revenue with Gardasil. Let's not forget other "wonder drugs" like Fen-Phen and Thalidomide.
