Bad campaign from the start
The drug manufacturer was cunning. The execs took their sales campaign to women's groups that support abortion. They pushed hard and fast. Even politiicans jumped on the bandwagon to get school districts to push this drug. Parent opposition grew because it would have been the first vaccine for a non-communicative disease made mandatory in schools (parents coulndn't opt in; rather, they needed to opt out). I have HPV and fought hard to NOT lose my right as a parent. Now we see that deaths that may be assosciated with the vaccine are finally making the headlines. This drug should have been studied long and hard before govt and pro-abortion groups tried to shove it down the throats of parents. HVP is real, but as long as we don't at least try to unglorify sex for young, immature teens and push abstinance (alongside info on condoms, etc), we are doing a huge disservice to our young people. This high school teacher is tired of the lies we tell young people with regard to sex being fine for them.
