HPV vaccination?

Question

- Would you give that to your daughter? Before you say yes/no did your do research properly? Here's a bit for you:

- Between 1955 and 1992, the number of cervical cancer deaths in the United States dropped by 74% . The number of cases diagnosed each year and the number of deaths per year have continued to drop, even though the population is growing.
- From 1997 to 2003, the number of cervical cancers in the U.S. dropped by 4.5% each year, while the number of deaths dropped by 3.8% each year. This, while many other cancers are on the rise.Cervical cancer has gone from being one of the top killers of American women to not even being on the top 10 list. This year cervical cancer will represent just 1% of the 679,510 new cancer cases and 1% of the 273,560 anticipated cancer deaths among American women. By contrast, some 40,970 women will die of breast cancer & 72,130 will die of lung cancer.

- An American Cancer Society spokeswoman said that most American women who get cervical cancer these days are women who either had never had a Pap smear or had not followed the follow-up and frequency guidelines
- And we can't forget that the vaccination is FDA approved (lol) how many "medications" and "treatments" have been FDA approved that have turned out to be a complete disaster? Yeah, so let's go on and test this vaccination that has not even been tested properly (as in procedure and the length of time it was tested) on our daughters who are still trying to develop.

- According to an FDA report, about 60 percent of those injected with Gardasil or the aluminum placebo had systemic adverse events including headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and myalgia. Merck's product insert indicates that Gardasil recipients experienced more serious adverse events such as gastroenteritis, appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, asthma, bronchospasm, and arthritis than placebo recipients. Merck is currently fighting thousands of lawsuits related to another of its drugs, Vioxx, which is also plagued by controversy surrounding false data on its safety.

I do have my own answer in my mind, but the question is about you, this information is what "they" are not going to tell you, it's all about propaganda and brainwashing

I'm sorry ChooseRealityPLEASE, it's nothing like that. I just know how to catch B.S. quicker than the average gullible person

Akholler, and your point is? This came from the same people who brought you Vioxx, it hasn't been properly tested but you guys are ok, says a lot about a lot of you

Here's a link on vaccinations all together, most people eat B.S. up like babyfood

These kinds of people don't give their child vaccinations

Giovanni and Godzilla, who's Christian? Isn't it silly for you to infer that I'm Christian, which by the way I'm not. Now what's silly is to put millions of dollars into someone else's pocket simply because you are naive. That's why the National State ID is on the way. Isn't that nice?

Toosense, I understand what you are saying, you sound very reasonable but the circumstances of this vaccination are not one that I would leave out. FDA approved, how many FDA approved things have turned into disasters? This is coming from the same people who brought you Vioxx, which they are staying facing a plethora of lawsuits for. The testing of the vaccination was done improperly and not for a long enough time. Some of the most important results have not even come back yet. Your girls are still developing...so give them something that you do not know the effects for? Very reasonable

I don't trust vaccinations, $0.02 :(

Answer 1

I'm with you all the way on this one. I don't have a daughter, but if I did, no way, no how would she be getting this!

I've researched all vaccines and the majority of people are buying into a lie.

Answer 2

As a matter of fact, the baby I'm carrying is a girl. She will be receiving the vaccine at her check up when she is eight if not before. I have not had HPV, and once I deliver, I will be getting it. The vaccine protects against four forms of HPV, four forms that have been linked to cervical cancer. There is no harm in receiving the vaccine and the benefits far outweigh any risks. I have done the research on each and every vaccine my children have received down to whether or not they are preserved with mercury. What kind of parent wouldn't vaccinate their child?

Answer 3

I have an 8 year old daughter and with the bill that is trying to be passed I am worried. If this was developed 30 years ago and known to be totally safe, I would not have a problem with it, but I am not satisfied with how little is known about long term effects. My daughter will not be getting this shot at 11 years old. I gave birth to her and a senator is not going to give my baby girl something that could cause her more problems than good.

Answer 4

I did all the right things and still got sick,,, i got all my pap smears etc....

If i could help my daughter avoid what I went through then yes.......

Oh and by the way.. it is not always caused by an STD... some people are just carriers for HPV.... I had "Chicken pox" 3 times as a child....

and over 75% of the sexually active pop has HPV....

EDIT:: I guess I have a problem with someone who has not had Cervical Cancer bashing those of us who have, and those who know someone who has, we of all people know first hand how horrible and scary and painful it is... I can guarantee that the problems caused by the vaccine if there are any greatly outweigh the pain of all the treatments and the simple thought that you might die, you might never get married, you may never have children, you may never get to reach your life goals.... because you have cancer....

so people like me who have survived get a free pass and get to go what ever we damn well please with our daughters....

Answer 5

I think you are wrong with many of your ideas regarding HPV and YES I would have my daughter vaccinated with HPV vaccine. As soon as there is a vaccine licensed for male I will see to it that both my sons receive their HPV vaccinations.

I am pro vaccines because from I know of the best studies and common sense. Vaccines have done tremendous positive things for our society today. Check out the history of vaccines and the rapid decline of many killer diseases and the many lives saved horrible suffering in the US and around the world.

Answer 6

Yep.

Her father and I have already agreed on it.

A shot that can help prevent a type of cancer? Bring it on.

She's not going to go out and bang the football team thinking, "Yay! I can do this with absolutely NO consequence since I was vaccinated against HPV! Yippee!" I raised her to be a wee bit smarter than that.

.

Answer 7

Yes. As a matter of fact, not only would I give it to her, I'd have one myself.

Its not about giving them permission to have sex, or be promiscuous, its about keeping them healthy, in any small way you can. And any parent who has an open conversation about that with their daughters is better off already.

By the way, any parent that has had a child vaccinated for DTP, Polio, Whooping Cough, etc....will tell you fever, diarrhea, headaches and the like are common territory.

Answer 8

Yes, because if you are sexually active you WILL be exposed to HPV. and condoms will not protect you. So if I thought my daughter was going to have sex I would have her get it. Did you hear me. I said you WILL, unequivocally be exposed to HPV. Its just the prevalent. Now, you may not catch it, but why risk it when you dont have to. Forget about cancer, you dont want to have all them bumps on your pretty little kitten now do you?

Answer 9

I really think it's kind of sick that Christians would oppose a vaccination against a prevalent form of cancer because they think that without the threat of cancer people might be encouraged to have "sinful" sex more often. Sick, sick, sick!

Answer 10

So cancer rates have declined... big deal, it hasn't been eliminated. What's the harm in protecting your children against another cause of cancer? Or are you afraid they will turn into sluts if they know they can't catch warts? That's the worst argument i've ever heard.
