“It SHOULD ALWAYS be the patient’s decision to weigh the risk/benefit of the drug with informed consent.
Gardisil is given to teenage girls under 18.In this case it’s up to the parents.At my kids’ doctors office they have a day of the week for 2hrs every week just to give these shots.
Right. Just as it's the parent's decision whether or not the kids get a measles vaccine. And kids die as a result of adverse events associated with the measles vaccine. I don't see any stories posted on FR in re: measles vaccines. Also, keep in mind that 7 deaths associated with the vaccine doesn't neccesarily mean 7 deaths caused by the vaccine.
All comparisons in a debate like this should be apples-to-apples comparisons. Anything else is propaganda, no matter how well intentioned.
