The biggest challenge for Gardasil comes because of the target market: adolescent girls. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease, and some 20 million American men and women have it. To prevent women from getting cervical cancer, women must be inoculated before they become sexually active. But for some parents and religious groups, that might be a touchy question.

How long will it be before they require this as part of immunization schedule? God forbid they allow anyone to suffer the consequence of premarital relations. I don't wish cancer on anyone but it seems to me or money would be better spent on educating our children, especially our young women on the real dangers of having sexual intercourse outside of marriage.

I heard somewhere that the vaccine does not contain a live virus, not even a dead virus. Instead, the vaccine contains a protein from a virus that triggers the immunological response in a person.

Great news.

"Because cervical cancer does not occur in women who have not contracted HPV ..."

That's not how I read the medical literature on this, which generally indicates that HPV is absent (or at least undetectable) in 30-33% of all cervical cancer cases.

Has it REALLY been tested?

I hate to say it but pharms are rather hard up for NEW products. They're up to their eye balls in law suits for shoddy testing and drugs.

Great thread btw.

We see here what Jews contribute to the world. To medical advances, to the betterment of life. What do Muslims contribute? Nothing except sell us oil at rip off prices. And their oil fields and refineries were developed by the West. They are too backward to do so,

This is wonderful news. And, the knowledge learned from this vaccination development will likely lead to new technologies. However, I feel like screaming at some of the discourse on this thread. I experience it all the time...... post an article about a specific topic and then watch it morph into scripture/immigration/abortion/TS/evolution/etc. I swear, some people are so removed from reality.

Again, great news. Meanwhile, the latest technological development from the Arab world is........

And once again, this article is deceiving. This is not a vaccine against ovarian cancer. It's a vaccine meant to prevent Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) which is a risk factor in most forms of cervical cancer.

Of course, what they don't tell you is that we already have a fool-proof way to defeat Human Papiloma Virus: Abstain from intercourse before marriage and be faithful after marriage. The success rate of this method for preventing HPV and every other STD is 100%.

So blame the Joooooooooooooz.

It's great there is a new vaccine, thank God for the scientists. It's not great that it's being pushed down school parents' throats.
