Gardasil Is Found Safe—But Some Families Wonder

this idiot above me

I am a 23 yr old male, I recieved it from having "protected" sex. Its skin to skin contact.

No way

SO how does one know if they are the 1 in 100 or even the 1 in 2000000 who will have an adverse reaction? And What if yours is the child that is permanently damaged or dies, will you ever be content with those odds?

My other concern is that like the flu shots that are so proudly touted as the miracle for next years possible-maybe flu, Gardisil only protects against 4 of the 40+ known types of HPV.

The #1 protection against ALL 40+ is, get this,

"NO UNPROTECTED SEXUAL ACTIVITY"

No one that I am aware of has ever died due to having "Protected sex!"

So you can go ahead and get a shot that might make you sick or even kill you. I will just have protection handy and skip the whole headache thank you very much!

And you can get much more "Healthy Lifestyle" education at my personal website http://homepage.mac.com/maule5662h

I have gathered materials for 6 years, after becoming a family of four on a plant-based healthy diet as supported by the evidence-based nutrition experts.

Reject Gardasil - get educated on it here

After you hear the 14 min talk by Dr. Pam Popper, you can guess what my decision is, now, re Gardasil for the three ladies.  We will definitely avoid those shots!

the vaccine

as a nurse and woman I am infinately happy they came out with this vaccine. This seems to me more propiganda from the right wing controlled media ( yes over 95% of media outlets are controlled by republican interest, thanks to Ronald Reagan deregulations). Talk to all of the children who lost their mothers to this disease, there are alot more of them out there than girls with a bad reaction.

The vaccine

Well I work at a Doctors office and given plenty of Gardisil vaccine without any incidence.... many parents after being lectured of the great benifits it holds are ecstatic of their girls receiving the immunization......prevention is the goal right?? How many more young women will have undergo biopsy...pain..infertilization...
