8. How safe are the HPV vaccines?Before any vaccine is licensed, the FDA must determine that it is both safe and effective. Both Gardasil and Cervarix have been tested in tens of thousands of people in the United States and many other countries. Thus far, no serious side effects have been shown to be caused by the vaccines. The most common problems have been brief soreness and other local symptoms at the injection site. These problems are similar to ones commonly experienced with other vaccines. The vaccines have not been sufficiently tested during pregnancy and, therefore, should not be used by pregnant women.
A recent safety review by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considered adverse side effects related to Gardasil immunization that have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System since the vaccine was licensed (14). The rates of adverse side effects in the safety review were consistent with what was seen in safety studies carried out before the vaccine was approved and were similar to those seen with other vaccines.
I for one don’t trust the FDA.Beyond the fact that there is evidence that this drug could be dangerous is the fact that a the executive order was used to push this through. It is forced on the parents to get there children this vaccine. Which there seems to be evidence it is dangerous. I know there was an opt-out. I’m sure many parents did know that was an option. Why not make it opt-in instead? I just think this whole thing is an overreach of government. Im sure many evangelical Christians will agree with me that a vaccine for there 12 year old for a disease that is transmitted sexually is a no go! Perry apparently does not understand this
