My granddaughter watches the 'kiddie channels'...on TV....entertainment for toddlers...and up to 4,5 yr olds...
I've noticed a commercial for this very vaccine on this channel geared to little kids.
Whenever she visits, I change the channel or mute the sound.
She has no idea what they're talking about, but I find it repulsive to advertise this to little kids.
It's a scary enough world without exploiting little kids watching The Backyardians or Spongebob Squarepants.

The marketing is another example of the sexualization of our youth and reinforces the “no consequences” mentality.
Most moms want to do everything they should for their kids health, vaccines are routine. My daughters don’t want the vaccine because of what they think it says about their virtue and plans for continued virtue. I am concerned about the safety of the vaccine and I don’t think it is a great benefit considering the cost. I know the arguments but I have watched doctors push other preventive treatments like hormone therapy. I resisted that push for several reasons and my instincts were somewhat confirmed. Same here.
Here's a fact I hadn't seen before.
So they're wanting to give a vaccine to 9-year-olds, even though its effectiveness will expire when she's 14. Presumably they expect the young girls to be exposed to HPV at 11 or 12?
This is not a disease issue - it's a child-abuse issue!
This should be a NO BRAINER, parents!
Out of the millions of girls who have received the vaccine, a small percentage of those had ANY problems whatsoever, and only 7% of those who HAD problems died as a result.
Put in perspective, you put your child at far GREATER risk if you EVER let her ride in the car with you on America's highways. That's a risk you're willing to take with her life every single day, just for convenience. Why not accept a SMALLER risk to save her from CANCER???
Vaccinate your daughters.
In fact, cervical cancer is relatively uncommon in the United States.

I came of age at the dawn of the sexual revolution, so many of my friends fell for it, hook, line and sinker. As time marched on I noticed that many of the most promiscuious girls were having problems with cancerous cells and very many that I knew well and just knew of had to have early hysterectomies. Many were only able to have one child and some wern’t able to have any. I put 2 and 2 together and came up with the promiscuity somehow being at fault. I had already noticed how that promiscuity harmed their personalities, it just isn’t good for you.
It wasn’t until about 8 yrs ago that I heard about HPV and how it often went undiagnosed and the results. It was something I had often wondered about and I finally had an answer.
My granddaughter is almost 16, she and her mother decided that she wasn’t going to get the shot and I was very glad. Just from my lifetime of observation, she doesn’t have the personality to be promiscuous, but she has been educated so that she does know the serious consequences to her own psyche and her body.

Thanks for posting this, Kaslin. People really need to take a very close look at the risks versus the potential benefits of this new vaccine.

I agree with the above (post #1). An attempt at another shortcut for folks. It is much harder job for parents to teach and guide their children in chastity. Boys and girls. As well as it is a tough job to supervise them, knowing where and whom they are associating with. I reckon many buy into this and think a shot is the prudent thing to do and well “nowadays all teenagers experiment and have sex” so they surrender half way through the child’s life. In the meantime my husband & I will do many things to continue to counsel and raise our children to care for themselves and others with the utmost respect.
My Gyno recommended the vaccine to me last year. I told him I’m married and have no plans of ever having to be with another man for the rest of my life, so no thank you. He had the audactiy to say that maybe my husband wouldn’t reciprocate my vow to him and then what would I do. I said, “I guess you could be right, however, I didn’t marry a pig.”
I found a new gyno, needless to say.
