Also, as has been pointed out times before in this thread, there is legitimate reasons not to trust big pharma and their vaccines. Did you see the
material in earlier posts that addressed this?
Including, and this is important, the fact that the New England Journal of Medicine published an editorial recommending caution with this
particular vaccine?
People avoiding the HPV vaccine are not only doing so in the strange misconception that their children couldn't possibly be sexually active in their
teen years.
Many are doing so because reputable mainstream medical sources are questioning it. Some doctors have even suggested that the cancers prevented by
providing immunity to the 2 cancer-causing strains of HPV the vaccine protects against, will simply be replaced by cancers caused by other strains of
HPV.
There is a good likelihood that this vaccine will prevent some cancers. But there is also a distinct possibility that it is not as effective as
marketed. This is a really gray area.
And this is not a disease like influenza or measles where one can make a strong case for vaccination for "herd immunity" purposes. If she refuses
the vaccine, it puts only herself at risk.
