This is absolutely rediculous! How can anyone see a benefit in possibly (and i repeat, POSSIBLY) preventing a disease that can be prevented by other means with a drug that can KILL you and in many cases causes a multitude of other side effects. This doesn't even include the actual damage done to the body, only the visible symptoms of the side effects. In logic this seems akin to chopping off your toes so you dont stub them!

All one has to do anymore is to turn on the television,..there you will usually encounter at least 2-3 different commercials for drugs.

The other morning, as they rolled one after another, a new one came on, followed by three others, from lawyers, for different prescription drugs, for a class action lawsuit.

When Gardasil came on the market, it caused lots of debates, and discussions, and yet, as then, as I am now, I am thankful I do not have a daughter, for right now, I would never have agreed to this shot. The concept is good, and well intentioned, and they seem to be on to something that WILL benefit women in the future, but until they know ALL the side affects that can take years before they do, I would never have let my daughter get this shot.

In my opinion,..they pushed this drug way too fast and hard.

I can believe this. America is about profit, not about its people. That's very sad...and it just sickens me.

I would never agree to this shot, for myself, or any children I might have. If they make it mandatory, I'll home school.

the drug companies who are making this vaccine make billions in profits each year.They push the latest drug,in this case with help from some politicians,who tried to make it mandatory and rake in billions.

Later on when the side effects are found out the drug companies pay a few million in fines and lawsuits and keep the rest,all profits.

Not a bad setup----FDA and the politicians get millions in kickbacks for fast tracking a drug and the drug companies make a killing,in some cases literally.

Id pay back a few million if I made billions ,wouldnt you ?

Frankly, this is a good drug, and that is speaking with someone who is VERY leery of the number of vaccines that children are given today.

I know the truth, from my experiences as a child: most girls and boys are sexually active, at least with other children, by the age of 6..... this is a good preventative for a disease that can STERILIZE a girl and even a BOY if it isn't treated early enough.

As to the side effects.... there aren't many. Basically, the same side effects as with any other vaccine: risk of high temperature/fever, risk of blood clots, etc..... even death as one of the EXCEPTIONALLY RARE side effects.

Does it spread it? Or prevent it?

There aren't many NOW that you know of or are aware of..and THAT is the problem.
most drugs when new are the Best drugs,..till one day you turn on the TV and see a bunch of class action suits filed.

the problem with this one is that until a few years down the road when the kids that were used as guinea pigs have this in their system for awhile, UNTIL then, no one really will know the full side effects, nor just how well it works.

I can say this,..I sure wouldn't want to be the parent that rushed my daughter for this shot, only to see complications down the road because of it. They rushed and pushed this drug without really knowing the full scope of it, and that is downright scary. I hope to god I am wrong,..and Yet, all one has to do anymore is turn on the TV and see how many of those Miracle drugs are now a part of a lawsuit.

The Centers for Disease Control released a report this week linking nearly 1,000 injuries and more than a dozen deaths to the Gardasil vaccine.
These warnings often go unnoticed and more and more young women are being exposed to the possibility of being injured by this vaccine. State governments have picked up on the trend of mandating its young women to receive Gardasil, an obvious boon to the manufacturer.
Please read more about this and take action before more injuries are suffered: http://www.gardasil-talk.com

Why don't they come up with a male-oriented vaccine as women always seem to be strapped with the responsiblity? Well, ladies, Merck plans this year to ask government permission to offer the shot to boys.

Experts say a primary reason for male vaccinations would be to prevent men from spreading the virus and help reduce the nearly 12,000 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in U.S. women each year. Plus, men are getting oral cancer as a result of the virus.

When in doubt read about the SV40 virus. Drug company vaccines are the epidemic. Don't forget to ask your elected criminals about the CHEMTRAILS.
