Please nothing wrong with the vaccine. No vaccine is 100% safe. I recomment it to my patients. How many women have you seen die of cervical cancer? I have seen many and it is not pretty. I remember when Hepatitis B vaccine came out. The same people were howling about it cause it prevented a disease that can and is sexually transmitted. It has been a big plus in health care. Have you watched people die of Hepatitis B. I have. Sorry I am not in the anti-vaccine groupies. Vaccines have saved more lives than any other break through in Medicine. We are just spoiled. Go on let your children get sick and die and maybe infect others. I have families that do not vaccinate their children. The only reason they get by with it most the time is that most of the population is vaccinated which protects their children. Nothing is risk free. Nothing. Go back and talk to someone over 60 years of age and see what they though of vaccination for their children. My mother said joy broke out when polio vaccine was made available. It was a dreaded disease before 1960’s.
my kids get vaccinated against everything.
My oldest was old enough to make the gardisil choice herself.
She figured, while she could always be certain what she had been up to - she could never be certain what anyone else had been up to.
The first shot made her feel ill - but we thought that was no biggy. Other shots will give you a fever or make you feel achy.
The second time she went in the nurse left the room after giving her the shot. When the nurse returned my daughter was unconscious and having a seizure. She had vomitted and her lips were blue.
At the time Merck was denying this was a possible side affect, but have since added this possibility to their literature.
I have 2 other daughters who will not receive this injection until they figure out what the heck is causing that kind of reaction in some of these girls.
I agree with you about the efficacy of vaccines, but to REQUIRE an STD vaccine for 12 yr-olds seems like a gross intrusion into parental responsibility. I have a feeling that had Perry been governor of Mass, he’d have been as bad as Romney, and very possibly, he’d still be a Democrat. Just my suspicions. Bob
I am over 60. The video was included in the email sent to me. I am not taking a position one way or another on this specific vaccine until I read more about it. The issue for me is whether it should be compulsory or not, not so much its safety. A friend of mine’s daughter died of cervical cancer at the age of 31.
