no vaccine for over 26, even though it's 30% effective...

and can kill the virus. if you're single, heterosexual,

in nyc and are alone, isolated, apprehensive, and can't find a partner on th h bomb dating sites (it's all herpes) look up

the google usenet group: mating.call.hpv.newyorkcity

i got the shot

i got the shot and i fainted after the lady started rubbing it i was scared && i dont think i want to take it

I don't believe any of these comments

Reading these comments is like watching the commercial on tv. The responses that are postive are a little to possitive and those who defend the vaccine act like it's a cure for cancer. People need to be educated on sex and all it's forms. They also need to learn about the possiblities of getting a std, which in turn will lead to getting HPV. Problem solved.

"Vaccine" --for STD???

Oh Pa-leese. I'm waiting: for medical establishment and big pharma to DEAL with CAUSE of cancer and std's --in women: WHERE is the vaccine for the penis?

No penis: no disease in women.

Big pharma damn well better SWITCH from making drugs that enable

erection (--so "very" important???) and DEAL with Real cause of female disease --BEFORE disease is acquired, NOT a "vaccine" just for women, afterwards --that enables males to keep on keeping on.

ALWAYS remember: you Cannot CURE a disease by treating the SYMPTOMS.

I was fine when I got the shot too. I got it a little after they started making the stupid "I didn't know that" commercials on tv about HPV which I found uninformative. My doc told me about the shot and told me that HPV was an STD and that I should get the shot. The shot stung a little but not much

I got this vaccine when it first came out

I got this vaccine when it first came out and there were absolutely no side effects for me. My insurance covered it completely. The shot wasn't painful (and I can't remember the last shot I've gotten besides this one). I never got sick, I never even got tired after the shot.

I know there can be side effects for some people but really, if there's some small, minute chance of some minor discomfort compared to being vaccinated agains HPV, I would definitely opt for the vaccination.

Oh, I am fearmongering? I dont think so! Im a parent of a child that has been poisoned by a vaccine. Ive been lied to by a pharmaceutical company and the doctors that administered it.

You need to do research on this vaccine. Then maybe you would understand.

Why dont you say that to one of the parents of a child that has been paralyzed or has died from it. Im sure you would get the same reaction.

Response to kamily828

That's silly... You nor anyone else has conclusive proof that Gardasil causes any of those things. Stop the fearmongering- please.

Another thing to consider

You need to decide if its worth spending a year or more of your life being sick and trying to get this poison out of your system. Is it worth dying for? Being paralyzed? Being sterile?

Its something to think about!
