I guarantee you that girls aren't making decisions on sexual matters based on whether or not they have a vaccine for a rare disease.

_______________________________

You could not be more wrong.

This vaccine is to help prevent a STD. And the mindset behind this drive to force gardasil on our girls is to ASSUME they are sexually active.

And the more active they are the more $$$$ Merck is rolling in. And meantime, other STD’s are being transmitted that this HPV vaccine does nothing for.

Not to mention the many more babies to be conceived.

Abstinence works. It does no good to tell our children no, but have a condom anyway.

Don't have sex, but have this vaccine anyway.

Outrageous.

I read a statistic that over 60% of girls that graduate High School have been exposed to HPV.

Obviously the fear of the disease is doing nothing to prevent teen sex.

This vaccine is to help prevent a STD

some of the types that this virus protects against (HPV6 and HPV11) cause genital warts. some types (HPV16 and HPV18) cause long term cellular changes that end as invasive cancer.

So if there was an HIV vaccine you wouldn’t want your kid to get it? I don’t think the idea is to assume anything but to prepare for the worst because kids, no matter how will raised, do stupid things. I’m sure Palin raised her kid right and look what happened. I know kids who were raised right way back in the day before the hyper-sexualization of culture and they did stupid things.
