SIMILARLY... would a vaccine against Human Papillomavirus (HPV, the leading cause of cervical cancer) cause teenage girls to engage in risk-taking behavior they would not otherwise engage in?

No, but it is interesting to note that the presence of air bags tends to reduce the usage of seat belts, ostensibly because people feel a false sense of security?
It's always best to utilize as many safety features as you can in whatever you are doing. If I could have a 5-way harness in my care, like they use in NASCAR, I would.
Vaccines are good. Period. The arguments against them are trivial and generally baseless. We need to do as much as we can to keep as many people healthy and disease free for as long as possible without harming the environment and the rest of society.

Personally, I think it's entirely likely. I am a very safe driver, and know that while seatbelts are there for protection, there are still very dangerous crashes I could get into that not even a seatbelt could save me (though I have literally been saved from death once or twice by a seatbelt). So I think that the added feeling of safety could cause someone to act more safely, assuming it will protect them through anything. However, that *is* flawed reasoning, because things can happen, and things can fail.

Your point is a good one. Nope, it won't. Teens will do what they want when they want, so how can an anti-HPV shot possibly be a bad thing?!
The vaccination should be available to adults and automatically added to the plethora of vaccines given to children as well. The healthier people are, the better!

The HPV vaccine prevents cancer. Women can also get this type of cancer from their husbands. I know that if I was a parent, I would want my girls to get it. Anything that prevents cancer - well that's a good thing in my book.

Seatbelts interfere with God's will!

Throw in an airbag and I'm a terror on the road.
