Exactly. Also, the vaccine only takes care of 70% of cervical cancer caused by HPV. The company is calling it anti-cancer though, not anti-std. Maybe they're hoping to avoid the objections that came with the Hepatitis B vaccine?
My objections are based more on health issues. It's like that with any vaccine. I'm currently ridden with lyme disease and have been for years, but I still oppose the lyme vaccine because it's been proven to cause more lyme than prevent it. Any vaccine that hasn't been tested extensively should be treated delicately, I think, and not mandated unless there's an epidemic.
I didn't even hear the 70 percent part of the story. That's what galls me about all of this. I just can't help forget the whole Thalidomide fiasco or the drug the mothers took for morning sickness I think and their daughters were later at risk for cancer.
We ARE both the doctor and the monster.
