Too many sillies around to let this pass. Look at how many people won't even drink city water! City water has to be poured into a toxic plastic jug before they will drink local water.

The same people that certify city water as very high quality drinking water are the same ones that asking to give a certified vaccine.

The sillies, given a choice, are ging to leave lots of girls aux naturale, like they did in merry ol' England!

Educate yourself, get the otherside of the story. This one isn't all it is cracked up to be. My kid won't be getting it. http://search.mercola.com/results.aspx?k=Gardasil

Here's a wild and crazy way to prevent HPV, keep your legs closed.

It really blew my mind years ago when my kid was at Foothills elementary, to find out that vaccinations were only voluntary. You'd have a really low IQ to deny kids these most imprtant shots...

Wow, $360.00 US per treatment!
Somebody is in to making a lot of money.

Rodangus,

It's not usually about IQ, but religion. There is a couple religions out there which believe this kind of stuff is sinful. Sadly when it comes to a conflict between faith and common sense, faith often wins.

That business about side effects is not true. There are several law suits currently in the courts in the U.S. regarding sever, permanent damage this drug has caused in some young women. Before you agree to this make sure you are informed about all the possible outcomes before anyone goes near your daughters. Yes, there is a great deal of profit to be made on this vaccine and the drug manufacturer has many political "friends" involved to allow this to be used. Beware.

rod and arthur,

Is yours a knee jerk reaction or have you looked at the data? There is a growing body of evidence linking vaccines to a lot of different things. Before you claim "low IQ" look at the actual data. Don't just go by what you have always been told. Don't forget the best scientists in Rome lead to its down fall (lead lined aqueducts).

You can find a website to support any conspiracy theory you can come up with. Doesn't mean it's right.

I think life is better because of vaccination. Sure, there's a teeny possibility of side effects depending on the vaccination (is anything 100% guaranteed?), I'll take that chance.

Just to note that smallpox no longer is a problem because of the vaccination programs. There are fewer deformed babies born each year because of the rubella (German measles) vaccinations. When we get cases of meningitis everyone goes crazy, but at one time it was common. Vaccinations stopped that. That;s the case with lots of what used to be child killer diseases.

Gardasyl will stop a lot of cervical cancers and the associated deaths. The number saved will grossly outwigh the few problems. However, parental consent is required, so it is a choice.

I do have a question, though, about the recommendation that a woman keeping her legs closed will stop the spread of HPV.

Are you suggesting that married women refuse to have sex with their husbands? If a husband consorts with prostitutes and doesn't inform his wife, he can infect her and she can get HPV, and a while later she can develop cancer of the cervix. How should that be handled?

This vaccination is unusual in that possible side effects include DEATH.

For girls who choose promiscuity, then the risk of near-term DEATH to help reduce the possibility of a later term death is what you are considering.

For girls who choose to remain chaste, this immunization is not at all required.

Is DEATH for sex a safe-sex choice...?
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2008/09/09/cdc_gardasil_vaccination_safe.aspx

Married women do not usually remain chaste, if chastity is not having sexual intercourse. Husbands do have mistresses, and committ adultery sometimes with prostitutes, one of the largest reservors for HPV. Adulterers usually do not go home and tell their wives that they have just had sexual intercourse with a prostitute or the wife's best friend, or the choirmistress.

In other words, married women who love their husbands and express it physically may well be at risk of contracting cancer and dieing from it if the husband is dishonest.

Is death a suitable punishment for a loving, faithful wife? Common sense and a couple of hundred years of medical experience all combine to say that vaccination is, overall, a valuable system of protection for women, not just girls.

The vaccination has past scientific studies and trials, but unfortunately the emotional argument people that insist on linking anything to anything are the real killers. Next thing someone will link Terry Fox losing a leg to having sex with a girl that took a pill.

The emotional argument people against anything is so calus that they will even use people dying of cancer to prop up their cause. The poor victim hardly knows what is going on, never mind how or why the cancer started.

It's a crazy world out there, and the emotional cranks aren't going away.
