This vaccine does not prevent cancer. It only prevents, I think four of twelve types of HPV.
The girls whom Perry wants to force this vaccine on, are not at risk for getting HPV yet.
By the time, some of them start experimenting , they would need booster shots.
We opted out of Prevnar because there was a 0.1% fewer instances of invasive pneumococcal disease. Studies suggest that Prevnar may interfere with the efficacy of two other vaccines (pertussis and IPV) and may interfere with the Varicella and MMR vaccine. Pediatricians are warned to be ready for possible allergic or anaphylactic reactions from administration of the vaccine. Prevnar contains aluminium, a known neurotoxin. Each .5 milliliter dose of Prevnar includes .125 mg of aluminum. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, "Aluminum is now being implicated as interfering with a variety of cellular and metabolic processes in the nervous system and in other tissues."
Controversy Many of the medical professionals and scientists involved in the testing and approval process for Prevnar had or still have significant conflict of interest problems, according to critics, who also question the vaccine's efficacy and safety testing, Because Prevnar is genetically engineered, a combination of different types and components of bacteria, critics have insisted on reevaluation of Prevnar's inclusion in universal vaccination schedules conducted by researchers uncompromised by conflict of interest issues. Critics also question whether the vaccine has any efficacy whatsoever, while pointing to Wyeth's admission that Prevnar does interfere with the efficacy of other vaccines.
Critics also contend that the political lobbying of vaccine industry, in attempting to assure that every child must receive every vaccine they decide is necessary, is primarily driven by the higher priority placed upon protecting shareholder profits than upon than the health of citizens. Under these circumstances, critics contend, there must be a reevaluation, by independent doctors and scientists, of whether or not there is an actual need for yet another addition to vaccination schedules, particularly in light of the small number of children possibly at risk from serious pneumococcal disease complications.
Further questions have been raised about whether Prevnar should be included in universal vaccination schedules at all, given the relatively minimal risks involved for most children. According to a 1994 report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, children who are most at risk of pneumococcal infections are generally limited to those with specific predisposing factors, "(Pneumococcal Infections) are more likely to occur when predisposing conditions exist, including immunoglobulin deficiency, Hodgkin's disease, congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (including HIV), nephrotic syndrome, some viral upper respiratory tract infections, splenic dysfunction, splenectomy and organ transplantation." However, most healthy children do not have these risk factors, and immunodeficient children may not be able to elicit an appropriate immune response to Prevnar. source Wikipedia
Google it for yourself and read. I wonder how many FReepers gave this to their kids without even reading about it, what it prevented, the actual chance that their child would be susceptible to what it is supposed to prevent and the actual prevention of (o.1%) (7% less ear aches) what it is intended for.
