“The folks pushing this are encouraging girls to get a vaccine that will make it less of a risk for them, if they want to have sex all they want. They don’t want the girls to think about all the other risks of sexual activity; STDs, pregnancy, AIDS.”
Merck didn’t design and promote this drug because they want young girls to have sex. They did it to make money. Lots of money. It’s not a free sex conspiracy.
The drug is being marketed heavily as a way to protect young girls. There are many parents who will buy into it because they want to protect their little girls from harm. They’re not being told how girls get the HPV virus, only that vaccinating their girls will keep them from getting cervical cancer. If they don’t have a talk with their girls about early and indiscriminate sexual activity, no vaccine in the world is going to help, because they’re exposing themselves to much worse than HPV. But Merck will still haul in the money earned on capitalizing on the fears of parents and girls.
