Gardasil Important Questions and Answers
Is Gardasil a “cervical cancer vaccine”?
No. Gardasil has no effect on cervical cancer whatsoever.
Does Gardasil actually “protect your daughter’s future from cervical cancer and genital warts”?
No, it doesn’t.
Why not?
Gardasil offers SOME protection against SOME of the Types of HPV that have been linked to cervical cancer.
There are over 40 Types of HPV, and 15 of them have been linked to cervical cancer and/or genital warts. Gardasil has been developed to vaccinate against the 4 Types that have the highest correlation with cancer and genital warts.
However, unlike the smallpox vaccine, for example, Gardasil does not grant full immunity to those 4 Types of HPV. Additionally, in the studies offered to the FDA in Merck’s application for approval, data indicated that Gardasil MAY INCREASE your daughter’s risk of developing cervical disease if she already had one of the relevant strains of HPV at the time of vaccination (Appendix E, p13 & 25).
What is relevant to me about Gardasil is that:
1. It was voluntary.
2. HPV according to some research is not always spread sexually.
There are other vaccines that are not “always” effective. I remember the anthrax immunization I received in the military, about which there was such an uproar. It had a low rate of effectiveness.
