"Lots of clinical tests" How many of those were on prepubescent girls? Lots of other drugs have lower age cutoffs because trials were not conducted on children. How much do we know about the vaccine's impact on their sexual development?
"administratin [sic]... before they become sexually active" That says to me that the drug doesn't work after the fact and the trials showed if you're already having sex, there is no effect. OK, I can understand why you look to the lower ages to get ahead of the curve statistically, but back to my first point, what age groups were used to establish the drug's safety?
Plenty of products have been pulled after years on the market when the long-term effects became known. Are we rushing this to market with a forced program simply due to sexual politics? Has anyone done the environmental impact statement on the potential sterilization of a generation of girls? DES was supposed to do wonderful things, too!
Tell me where the trial lawyers stand on this and then we'll really see.
You should see the movie Children of Men. It is set 18 years after the world's last live child was born in 2009. No one has been born after that year, because for some reason all the world's women are infertile.
1121 girls age 9-15 were in the study (not control) group that determined safety and efficacy.
Now there's an important point!
