should hpv vaccines be manditory and why?

Answer 1

Yes; so that the disease doesn't spread any more than necessary. This is a no-brainer to me. If there's a vaccination out there that can keep my kid (or anybody else's kid) from getting sick, then my kid gets it. How would I feel if my child GOT something that could have been prevented with a simple shot????? And remember, the HPV vaccine will protect not just young girls, but women pretty much through their child-bearing years. Why risk having something that you can so easily prevent? Would people be all hot and bothered about this if it were a vaccine for preventing tooth decay, for instance???

Answer 2

I think that 'HPV' vaccines should be mandatory, but I think that it would be 'much better' if they were given when the girl is an INFANT, and not when she is already a 'young woman' and may have already 'caught' the HPV virus from a young man ... because I've had HPV since before I was 18 months old ... I was 'sexually abused' by my babysitter's husband. I know that I am not the only 'baby' who was abused sexually, and I don't think that 'waiting' until 'just before a girl becomes sexually active' is a 'good idea' because many girls become sexually active at the age of 10-12, or are 'abused sexually' and may already 'have' the HPV virus 'in their systems' by the time they 'get the vaccine' at 13-17. Luckily, I had a 'suspicious pap smear' that was taken care of and I am now 'fine' ... but it was 'terrified' by the possibility of have cervical cancer, and I don't want ANY woman to have to face that, and if an 'HPV vaccine' can HELP, then it should be as 'mandatory' as polio vaccine, measels vaccine, or DPT vaccines, and should be given at the same 'age' which is 'infant'.

Answer 3

Remember HPV vaccines currently only protect against 4 types of the many types of HPV. While almost 80% of cervical cancer is caused by types 16 and 18 the vaccine will not prevent all abnormal paps nor cervical cancer. As well as long as we are not vaccinating males as well we will not totally eliminate transmission. While I believe that vaccines are important for all females age 9-26 it is not like other vaccines MMR, Hepatitis which totally protect.

Answer 4

No,

It is the best way to eradicate that form of cancer, but it has sexual undertones. Governor Perry of Texas recently passed a law that all teenage girls would get this shot. I thought it was a good idea. Of course part of it is because he owns a lot of stock in the company that manufactures the drug.

The problem is those sexual undertones. Some "religious folk" think that by having this potentially life saving shot that the government is encouraging those girls to have sex.

Then there are those paranoid parents who don't want their children to get any vaccinations. They would rather risk losing their child to the measles, and such archaic diseases like whopping cough rather than risk the small chance that those shots could cause their child some problems.

Finally there are the "Christian Scientologists," a religion firmly grounded in science fiction and the wild imagination of one author. These people don't want any, but the simplest medical operations, done on their family members. Surely you remember Tom Cruise's attack on Brooke Shields when she admitted that she used antidepressants to help her against postpartum depression; a very real and common condition that affects millions of women.

I may strongly disagree with these people and even consider some (most) of them to be foolish, but part of our freedoms that comes with being American means that we even have to allow ideas we don't like. You can't have it both ways and allow only those ideas that you think are okay.

Answer 5

I think we ought to face the facts that teens are experimenting with sex a lot earlier than they used to and that they are sexually active. If we are telling them to use condoms to practice safe sex, then I think the reality is that sometimes people take chances and do not protect themselves. I guess, if it is mandatory for children to have their immunizations to attend school or participate in certain activities, then we should not be so offended to be told of ways that we can safeguard our health. Cervical cancer can sometimes be a result of hpv and if it can be prevented, then education and prevention is the key. I think I would want my daughter to get a vaccine, if I had one that is. Better safe than sorry.

Answer 6

No. Absolutely not.

First, vaccines have generally caused more diseases than they have prevented. A very good web site to see an extensive article on vaccinations is: http://www.healthline.cc/QNL%20Health%20Related/Vaccinations%20-%20Tim%20O'Shea.pdf The MERCK company created a polio vaccine and had to kill 50,000 monkeys to create the vaccine. Many of the monkeys had a virus that created the AIDS virus. This vaccine was given to mostly men in San Francisco, New York, and South Africa. The filters MERCK used did not filter this virus out and look what we have been left with!

95% of all the people that had polio didn't even know they had it and all these people developed natural immunities to the disease. Only about 1% of all the polio cases that were reported had complications. The virus was on it's way out when the vaccine was developed, so it appeared that the vaccine actually cured the problem when, in actuality it created more cases of polio than the disease itself. Even Salk, the doctor that developed the shot said that more cases were created by the shot than by the disease.

Vaccines are NOT the answer. The answer is to boost our immune systems, promote sanitary conditions, and change the American diet from disease producing to disease protection. Doesn't it seem incredible that we are one of the most wealthy countries in the world, but rank 24th in longevity?

The sanctity of human blood is important. Vaccines are only temporary and way too specific to be effective. Look at the flu shot that is loaded with mercury and it has been proven that mercury vapor converted to mercuric ions in our livers destroy tubulon matrix in brain tissue and that is a primary issue in Alzheimer's. Ever wonder why we are getting more and more cases of Alzhemier's? Autism has become rampant and almost epidemic and it parallels childhood vaccinations, introduction of insecticides, antibiotics and hormones in our foods. The DPT shots given to children are rediculous. The Country of Australia has outlawed it because it has been linked to SIDS (sudden infant death syndrom). People do not die from whooping cough or measles! These are relatively mild diseases that we easily develop natural immunities too. Antibiotics can control these diseases very simply. Why polute our blood streams with this garbage?

To make a vaccine mandatory is insanity at it's highest level!
Just imagine where we would be if we had made the FDA approved drug Thalidomide mandatory for all pregnant women? I do not trust the FDA to protect our health. I trust the FDA to protect drug companies from law suits and to promote drug sales. Look at the recent FDA warning that should be a major recall and stop order. Xolair, also called omalizumab, is a drug being given to people by doctors currently. FDA issued a warning that a person given this shot can die from Anaphylaxis shock. The warning says doctors are to watch patients for 2 hours after giving the shot and be prepared to treat them for Anaphylaxis. Interestingly enough, people who have not been allergic to this shot prior can have the problem and it can happen up to 24 hours after giving the shot! So, doctors are encouraged to educate the person on how to treat for Anaphylaxis and given shots to administer to themselves in the 24 hour period! When people die from this, who will we blame? The FDA will still be there allowing this kind of garbage, doctors will be O.K., because they followed the FDA guidelines. Who loses? The patient!

good luck

Answer 7

hi Bree. a large form of persons are making a large form of noise with regard to the HPV vaccine simply by fact maximum mothers and fathers are in denial and dont prefer to settle for the reality that their teenage little ones are having intercourse. learn prepare that purely approximately 70% of all tennage little ones have already had a sexual bump into by using the time they are 18. Its purely that the mothers and fathers dont prefer to settle for the data. so they argue that this could be like telling the toddlers that its ok to have intercourse. right this is yet another occasion: could they provide up coaching little ones intercourse coaching and using condoms? simply by fact one might argue that this might bring about little ones having intercourse. Now evaluate this, once you vaccinate against Tetanus, do you tell little ones to go and step on a rusty nail simply by fact they have been immunised against tetanus? the respond is not any. i think of human beings could permit or not it somewhat is and make it a call for the mothers and fathers and their little ones. How do you deny somebody, something you be responsive to might save their lives interior the close to destiny? Shouldnt they seek for advice from the greater youthful childrens to ensure in the event that they think of of the belief? every physique who has suffered from HPV does not prefer their kidsto go interior the path of an identical adventure. I purely choose that peole might settle for the reality that youngsters have intercourse at very early ranges and that not something interior the close to destiny would be waiting to offer up that and that the HPV vaccine is for the greater effective.

Answer 8

No. Freedom is the choice to make an informed decision based on fact. The facts are still out on this vaccine.

Answer 9

Yes, because it has the potental to prevent certain forms of cervical cancer. Wouldn't you want everything done to help keep your daughter from battling this?

As a parent of a child that is a cancer survivor I made my daughter get the shots as soon as our pediatrician got them. She was glad to take them, as she saw her brother battle cancer and does not want to go through what he did , if at all possible.

Answer 10

it should be mandatory with an opt-out option because it may be against someones religion or beliefs.all people should get it though.
