According to the studies. Go read them.
Gardasil would probably knock out >65% of those cancer deaths if administered before infection by HPV. It targets the HPV strains that cause 70% of cases of cervical cancer, and is 95% effective in uninfected women--which you would know if you had bothered to read the studies before trashing the vaccine.
Good for hubby! Reminds me that if more people had questioned their doctors and developer that recommended the Dalkon Shield, the effects would have been dramatically less.
I got my info from Merck themselves. And we’re still talking 0.0802% of the female population that contracts cervical cancer. Fearmongering is going to make Merck a bucket of money and do Heaven knows what to the young girls being given an untested drug.
It’s scary the amount of people who buy the hype of the latest health/drug craze.
Yeah, this just another advertising form for the pharmaceutical cos to make themselves wealthy using people as guinea pigs. People don’t realize that pharmaceutical cos spend hundreds of millions on lobbying doctors to prescribe their medicine. A friend of mine who works in OBN/GYN office informs me that it’s nothing for pharmaceutical reps to provide breakfasts, lunches or dinners and trips for all the doctors and employees. Also, the pharmaceutical reps provide donuts every morning for the doctors and employees. What I named doesn’t even scratch the surface. But the bottom line is that the more lobbying the reps do the more the doctors write the prescriptions for that particular form of medical treatment. The pharmaceutical cos get rich for the drug or treatment and the doctor gets a kickback from the prescription written and everyone’s happy except the insurance co that has to pay or the patient that doesn’t have the insurance. It’s a racket!
Btw, I at least provide actually links.

Fifty years ago a "safe" new drug called thalidomide was the "wonder drug" for pregnant women.
Ten years ago, fen-phen was going to "safely" change dieting forever.
Five years ago, Vioxx "safely" offered non-habit-forming pain management.
And all three of these drugs had been tested far more thoroughly than Gardasil has been. They just invented Gardasil, they have no clue what will happen to these twelve year old girls when they get married and try to have babies in ten or fifteen years.
Representatives preparing frozen pizza rolls is about money too. Promoting a product. If you aren't interested in it... fine. But arguing with the staffer at a booth in a store was an obnoxious thing to do. Not everyone who is at risk of this disease is underage, immoral, or any of your business.
Doctors receive “gifts” from drug companies the same way politicians receive “gifts” from lobbyists, they just change the name.
You buy into the hype. I'll pass.
I missed the part where it said the disease has been eradicated and no further research or drugs need be pursued. Giving people more options to avoid cancer is hardly hype.
It's actually called activism.
Not everyone who is at risk of this disease is underage, immoral, or any of your business.
Then why was she trying to scare parents? It was PARENTS that were being fed the hype. And those at risk for cervical cancer is only 0.0802%. New England Journal of Medicine calls it rare. The CDC says it's declined significantly. But Merck wants you to believe it's an epidemic.
I didn’t say you don’t have the right (until Walmart kicks you out), I said I think it was obnoxious. There was a line of people there who are free to listen and come to their own conclusions about the immunization. For themselves, for their daughters.
On the Texas Govenor threads in Feb, I posted links that no one under 16 had been given the drug. There was to be a trial on 100 girls in Japan, ages 9 to 12. It was to last 7 months which means it hasn’t even concluded. Even THAT info had no affect on the “everybody’s gonna die of cancer” crowd. THAT’S scary.
And thalidomide essentially cured morning sickness.
This drug is being pushed as a necessity for all women when only 0.08208% of the female population gets cervical cancer. As of Feb this year, it had never even been tested on the targeted age group, 9 to 12 yr olds. That’s hype.
The potential long-term affects of this are very scary especially when you consider that they want to administer the drug to girls at the very same time her reproductive system is developing.
Several months ago I was flipping channels on the TV and saw an ad for this vaccine. It had all of these women saying that they needed to “tell someone” about this wonderful cure for cancer. NOT ONCE did it mention that this was actually a vaccine against CERTAIN TYPES of ONE sexually transmitted disease.
There has ALWAYS been a way to prevent HPV and every other STD and it’s very simple. Abstinence before marriage and monogamy within marriage. It’s free, it’s easy and as a “side effect” it will prevent a great deal of heartache.
Do ya think Merck told them that 0.08208% of women contracted cervical cancer in 2003? What are the odds that Merck gave them facts? When there’s $4 billion to be made?
Don’t know and don’t care.
