Vaccine against cervical cancer seen as bad?!?

Question

I read that religious conservatives view it as bad, thinking it will say to kids that having sex is ok. So, would they rather let the girls who start early get cervical cancer from HPV when they could have stopped it? It's like those who believe if you don't talk about condoms in school, then kids won't have sex. I'd like to tell these people if the thought of getting AIDS isn't enough to keep kids from having sex, talking about condoms or giving a vaccine to help prevent cervical cancer isn't going to hurt. Can anyone explain the logic in this to me?

Answer 1

Having had my cervix removed with mercurial beta iodine and now suffering from mercury, chlorine, and aluminum poisoning, I'd say we've come along way in 20 years! We're never going to stop premarital sex, no matter how many parents, preachers, teachers, scientist, doctors, lawyers, and candlestick makers teach against it - we all know its wrong, but inevitably, most will not preserve the most awesome gift they can give their mate until their wedding night - so, as a True Christian in a Spirit and Truth relationship, if you're not going to save the most special gift you've been given, your virginity, for the one God has chosen for you, then by all means protect yourself. I didn't have HPV, who had even heard of it 20 years ago. My cervix just died, unknown causes - I know now it was metallic poisoning and they just had me use more metallics to prepare me for the surgery - great logic! Sometimes, even if we don't want to agree with the worlds ways, such as premarital sex, we are only blinding ourselves to its reality, if we think it will not ever happen. It doesn't mean that as a mother of a 17 year old, I don't teach abstinance and the importance of waiting, and the joy of the sexual relationship when it is sacredly held between a married man and woman, but when it gets right down to it, I'd be foolish not to teach him of STD's and the options of protection, should he decided that my wisdom or God's wisdom isn't the wisdom he's going to choose. Does that make me a bad Christian Mom to teach him this? I don't think so. I think it makes me a well-educated, Spirit-teaching Mom, with emphasis on the right motives, and knowledge of the alternatives. But I'm not ignorant enough to think that he has always done everything just because Moma said it was the right thing to do! I didn't my parents - enough said!

Answer 2

I'm Catholic, but my children attend public college. I have heard of this and i don't suppose it's situated on some thing except skepticism. Once I first learned that my two youngest daughters would wish this vaccine in order to enter middle tuition, I used to be leary. I did my research and declined the vaccine, now not situated on devout beliefs, but seeing that of the shortage of assisting data and evidence that this vaccine was nontoxic. I, as a mother or father need what is exceptional for my ladies and as soon as there's extra knowledge and reviews supporting the claims of this being nontoxic, i'll be the primary in line to have this completed. At the moment, i'm going to just hold open communique with my daughters, now not enable them to run the streets or be unsupervised and trust that i've given them the entire right tools and strategies to just say no. It's boldly documented that this vaccine is nontoxic, however probably the most damaging attributes of this vaccine are in small print, why now not make the aspect effects simply as clear as the benefits?

Answer 3

I have read similiar things. Of course, you want the kids to wait until marriage to have sex. In reality, they should be informed about the risks and birth control, so if something does happen, the kids are at least prepared. The vaccine is a good thing. Anything that could prevent cervical cancer is well worth it.

Answer 4

u must be joking or Ur totally ignorant about vaccine their is no vaccine for cervical cancer. HPV is associated with cervical cancer but causation is still not proven. common medical agreement till date on etiology of cervical cancer to have risk group screen (PAP smears so as to detect it early and treat it adequately. vaccine against HPV not yet developed and even if will be developed its use remains questionable because causation not yet proved. its only association proved. vaccine is tried only after causation is established.

Answer 5

I'm a Christian and I think the HPV vaccine is fine, more than fine, great! What's "bad" is that they never taught any of these women that multiple partners causes HPV. They could have stopped it.

Answer 6

the really big deal about the vaccine is this: who's gonna pay for it? is it up to the parents? or should it be mandated by the schools? and does it go against someone's religion or feelings about their child being protected against a sexually transmitted disease when they believe their child won't be at risk. so do the parents pay? the state? lots of politics. but u have a point.

Answer 7

There is not logic there. To me, the vaccination is a god-send......afterall isn't God the one who gave humans the knowledge to create this wonderful drug? If these people are so religious, how come they are spitting on a creation made possible by God?

Answer 8

I'm not understanding this religious point of view but those who don't beleive in it can just say no. While everyone else can be protected against this deadly cancer. It's my decision, not the religious fanatics'.

Answer 9

I wish this was around 2 years ago.....I wouldnt have had to have a hysterectomy........People can be carriers of this and not even know it.......It amazes me the ignorance of some people. I would much rather have my daughter on this medication and know she is safe...then wonder if she is sleeping with anyone and take a chance with her life......

Answer 10

Wish I could.... actually, no I don't then I'd be just a goofy as the people that believe it! Doesn't make any sense to me at all!
