Gardasil is not neccasary and it disrupts a healthy immune system!?

Question

Don't feel pressured to vaccinate your young girls with toxic chemicals when a healthy life style and healthy immune system is all that is needed!

You get an STD from having sex with an infected person, not because it runs in your family!
Boy, some people!
Why is it always the woman who has to protect herself from what disease the man is going to give her? Where is the Gardasill for men?

Answer 1

The HPV vaccine HAS been approved for use in males as well as females in Australia, although not in most countries yet. The reason for this is that it hasn't been tested enough in males yet. Most of the testing so far has focussed on women, because it is mainly (but not always) women that get HPV related cancers.

No one has suggested that HPV is a familial disease.

Your claim that "a healthy life style and a healthy immune system" will reliably stop you from getting cervical cancer is mere wishful thinking, and not founded on any scientific evidence. Any woman who has sex could potentially pick up a strain of HPV that could result in cervical cancer.

It is profoundly insulting to suggest that if a woman gets cervical cancer it is her own fault because she has been negligent about her morals in some way. I have no patience with people who suggest this kind of offensive garbage.

Your claim that HPV vaccination "disrupts a healthy immune system" and that it's "toxic" also lack any evidence.

The pros and cons of HPV vaccination deserve close scrutiny, but you are way out of your depth in analysing the scientific evidence. Your claims are baseless gossip.

Answer 2

Gardasil protects against HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 (there are over 100 types of HPV, 30 of them considered sexually transmissible). Two of these types cause most cervical cancers; the other two cause most genital warts.

A "Gardasil for Men" vaccination is indeed being developed. However, since men cannot get cervical cancer, which is considerably more deadly than genital warts, the pharmaceutical company (Merck) opted to protect women first.

Yes, a healthy lifestyle (including abstinence from sex until marriage) can prevent you from contracting HPV. In an ideal society people would have one sexual partner and there would therefore be no STD's. In an ideal society, people would not smoke, become obese, use heroin, murder one another, or talk on their cell phones while driving on the highway.

Yes, it seems like women must protect themselves from diseases men have. The opposite is also true. As well, men must protect themselves from disease other men have. And STDs may pass from woman to woman too.

When polio and other vaccinations (of course you don't remember this; you're probably not old enough!) such as MMRs and varicella first became available, there was much concern about doctors injecting chemicals and diseases into people.

I have talked with many physicians and healthcare professionals about the Gardasil vaccination. The only concern I have heard expressed is that, many years after the initial series of vaccinations, a "booster" may be needed to assure continued immunity--just like the Hepatitis B and tetanus "boosters".

Whether you get the Gardasil series (3 vaccinations) is entirely up to you. If you choose a healthy lifestyle with one sexual partner, and that sexual partner has abstained as well before he/shet met you, then you are safe.

Answer 3

I think a terrible detail has been overlooked here.

WHAT IF YOUR CHILD GETS RAPED?

That's right! You can get HPV (as well as any other STD) during rape. Faulting a person for being the victim of sexual assault is cruel and callous. And with the cultural climate highlighting the dangers of sexual predators these days, and all the terrible crimes we hear about in the news, what good parent wouldn't want to protect their child from the consequences of being raped?

As for Gardasil's availability for males. Wait a year or two. The clinical trials are in progress and are wrapping up shortly. Snout pointed out that it is available for boys in Australia already.

And babyxiong's comment about Hepatitis B is WAAAAAAAAAY off base. Did you know that Hep B is extremely common in Asia and that Asians (including Asiam Americans and other immigration groups!) often contract it from their mothers during birth? Hep B is also so hardy (lasts up to 7 days out in the open) and so infectious (100 times more infecitous than HIV) that simple household exposure is enough to transmit it to all the children in the family. The simply mistake of using the wrong toothbrush can transmit the virus.

There is more mercury in ocean fish than there ever was in vaccines, especially now, now that thimerosal is NOT being used.

People who fear vaccines have never had to fear the infectious diseases they prevent. They are taking a real luxury for granted. If you have never seen nor treated a child with polio, then be thankful. Thank vaccines for almost eradicating this disease, then flagellate luddites like yourselves for contributing to its return.

Dr J Rumley needs to bone up on his contagious diseases... cervical cancer is not caused by herpes, it is caused by the human papilloma (sp?) virus, of which there are hundreds of strains. And it seems like I've read that like 90% of women have it, so there are a LOT of promiscuous people out there, or everyone is susceptible to it. Women who have had only one partner all their life get cervical cancer. Back in the good old days, men and women married before having sex and were each other one and only's. Those women got cervical cancer.

Vaccinating your daughters with Gardasil is not permission to go out and have sex. You probably believe that vaccines cause autism too, don't you?

Answer 5

I completely agree with the person asking/ saying this question/statement. This may sound a little harsh, but if you contracted a STD, such as this, from having sex too early, with multiple partners, unprotected...etc, you kind of deserve it. This vaccine is like saying, "Okay girls, go have more unsafe sex, we have found a way to MAYBE prevent ONE of the many, many STD's out there!". Whatever! Educate your children on safe/no sex and if they choose to make a stupid decision even though they were warned... that is on them.
This really goes for all vaccines; especially this one and Hep B...another basically STD or drug user disease. I understand where the lady with the daughter who got meningococcemia is coming from. That is sad story; but that doesn't mean the whole world needs to get vaccinated against it now. Do you know what they put in vaccines? Not what they lie and say is in there...what they REALLY put in them! Ahh, Mercury, formaldehyde, live bad bacteria; just to name a few. Ick, I would not put that crap in my kids' bodies. Teach them to be cleanly, safe and eat healthy. That prevents 99% of those diseaes/infections. And, God forbid, if you do contact something living a healthy lifestyle; almost everyone of those infections can luckily be cured nowadays. Back when we didn't have advanced medical technology or better knowledge of how much just washing your hands prevents diseases; it sounded like a good idea. But now that we know...use that knowledge! I could go on and on, but I won't. Just research EVERYTHING YOURSELF, don't jump on the band wagon just because our Gov'nt says to. Really people.

Answer 6

Did you know that the strain of HPV that causes cervical cancer (the one that Gardasil protects against) usually causes no symptoms in men? Makes you think, doesn't it?

Answer 7

there is no gaurdasil for men because the herpes does not cause aggresive cervical cancer in them. I recomend that all women get this and if there is ever a vaccine for a virus that causes testicular cancer I will recomend all men get it and get it myself. Oh and they are not toxic chemical that are injected. Learn some immunology and study a little medicine before getting on a soap box again.

Answer 8

you seem very narrow-minded.

Answer 9

sure Doc... (so lame)
