Do you think women are too stupid to evaluate for themselves whether they should get the vaccine?

When they are NOT being told the truth?

They sell it to consumers who choose to buy it. What is dishonest about that?

Is Merck telling them cervical cancer is rare?

So? Companies are in business to make money. The question is whether adequate studies were done, everyone in the field of medicine agrees that they were.

When it wasn't tested on the targeted age group?

Do you work for Merck?

So you think they're too stupid to evaluate the data for themselves? The studies are freely available at NEJM.

Is Merck telling them cervical cancer is rare?

Most cancers are rare. Do you think women are too stupid to determine for themselves whether they should get this vaccine? The information provided is accurate.

When it wasn't tested on the targeted age group?

Initial tests were done on older women because the vaccine will be used in this population as well and because it's preferable to put adults in harm's way first!

Interestingly you are wrong. A study of a thousand children show that the vaccine is safe in children and provokes a comparable immune response.

Do you work for Merck?

Unfortunately, no. Are you familiar with the logical fallacy known as "poisoning the well"?
