Let's say there was a vaccine for HIV/AIDS. The vaccine "only" killed 50 of every 100,000 people who got it. Would you get the vaccine? Would you support making the vaccine mandatory for premenstrual girls, prepubescent children, adults, anyone?

Huh? What does a made-up "let's say" scenario have to do with anything?

Let's say that FReeping made your arms fall off. Would you ever encourage your friends to do it??? WOULD YOU???

Pfffft.

The FACT is that Gardasil may have killed as many as 20 out of 16 MILLION. Every medication can cause death, depending on the circumstances. I don't believe these figures are out of line.

Cars kill thousands every day, yet you still drive one. There's a benefit that outweighs the risk.

It is obvious that Gardisil provides a benefit that FAR outweighs the risks involved. I will absolutely make sure my daughter is vaccinated when she's older.

Despite your diatribe, Gardasil only provides a benefit if your daughter is sexually active. IF she is at risk of catching the HPV, and that IF she engages in 'relations' with someone who has it.

The risk exists whether ot not she fulfils those conditions, if she gets the vaccine.

As for my little girl, it makes just as much sense to pay for her car insurance at the ripe old age of 9 as it does to get the vaccine.

You want your kid to be a lab rat, that is between you and her. Just don't go forcing it on others.

In case you are incapable of understanding my other post, it involves a disease which people are only at risk for if they engage in certain acts with people who have the disease. If you or yours do not fall into the risk group, you might opt out.

That was the point you missed.

Good luck, I hope your kid stays healthy whatever your choice.
