The commercials that are paid advertisements for a product that stands to make lots of money.. "PRODUCT" says that it protects against the strains of HPV that cause "most types of cervical cancer." Let's disect that
This is one of the biggest contraversies of our time because there are excellent points made by both sides and there are intelligent folks who support each side so diligently. All I want is to be able to make my own decision for my family when so much is on the line. I don't think the CDC cares for baby Wyatt as much as I do therefore I should be the one that decides what is best for him. And Im talking about informed decisions...
Gardasil HELPS to prevent 4 out of the 40 strains of HPV that MAY cause cervical cancer which contributes to app. 4,000 deaths per year. What the commercial does not elaborate on but the American Cancer Society does is that "Between 60% and 80% of American women with newly diagnosed invasive cervical cancer have not had a Pap smear in the past 5 years" or has NEVER had one. ...so
The ACS goes on to say:
"About 70% of all cervical cancers are caused by HPV 16 and 18."
...so app. 2800 of these deaths were caused by HPV... not 4,000. And of those 2800, 60-80% haven't been screened in at least 5 years.. that's app. 1960 (I used 70%) cases which leaves 840 deaths from cervical cancer that could have been caused by HPV and have occurred in women who have had a recent screening... 840 vs. over 4,000!!!!
"Cancer of the cervix may be prevented or detected early by regular Pap tests. If it is detected early, cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treatable cancers. In the United States, the cervical cancer death rate declined by 74% between 1955 and 1992, in large part due to the effectiveness of Pap smear screening. The death rate continues to decline each year."
The ACS goes on to say:
"Many women become infected with HPV, but very few will ever develop cervical cancer. In most cases the body's immune system fights off the virus, and the infection goes away without any treatment. In some cases, for reasons that we don't understand, the infection persists, which can cause cervical cancer. Although there is currently no cure for infection with HPV, there are ways to treat the warts and abnormal cell growth that HPV causes."

We all know how important regular check-ups are and look at how many of these cases could've been prevented with early care as well as no-brainers like no smoking, a healthy diet and a healthy immune system... which I believe vaccines do not promote a healthy, natural immune system.
Here's another site that goes along the same lines:
"Other factors need to be present for HPV to progress to cancer. These co-factors have not been conclusively identified, but studies have found that sex at a young age, smoking cigarettes, using oral contraceptives, and deficiencies of vitamin A and folate (a B vitamin) are all associated with cervical cancer (2)."

So now we see that HPV is a contributing factor and not necessarily a main cause. The paid advertisments tell you what they want you to hear. It is up to us as parents to do our OWN RESEARCH and make up our own minds. If your daughter smokes, is promiscuous, has a terrible diet and will never see a GYN, then I'd say go for it because the risk factors are higher for her.
...OH and here's the side effects.
Common Gardasil Side Effects
Gardasil has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, with many people having been evaluated. In these studies, side effects are always documented and compared to side effects that occur in a similar group of people not taking the medicine. Based on these studies, the most common Gardasil side effects include:
Pain in the area of the injection -- occurring in up to 83.9 percent of people
Swelling in the area of the injection -- up to 25.4 percent
Redness in the area of the injection -- up to 24.6 percent
Fever -- up to 13 percent
Nausea -- up to 6.7 percent
Dizziness -- up to 4 percent
Diarrhea -- up to 3.6 percent.
Other common side effects with Gardasil that were reported in more than 1 percent of women include, but are not limited to:
Vomiting
Cough
Toothache
General ill feeling
Joint pain
Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
Stuffy nose.
Gardasil Side Effects to Report
There are several side effects of Gardasil that you should report immediately to your healthcare provider. These include, but are not limited to:
Very high fever
Signs of an allergic reaction, including difficulty breathing, wheezing, an unusual skin rash, itching, or hives.
Rare Gardasil Side Effects
There are other Gardasil side effects that can occur. These side effects happen in very few patients taking Gardasil. For these side effects, it is difficult to tell whether the side effect is because of Gardasil or something else.
Some of these rare Gardasil side effects include, but are not limited to: (What does that mean... are they leaving out the whole DEATH thing ..because there have been rare side effect that include DEATH)
Headaches
Gastroenteritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually involving vomiting or diarrhea
Appendicitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the appendix
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is an infection or inflammation in the pelvic area that can lead to infertilty and other problems
Asthma or bronchospasms (airway spasms).
This vaccine has only been out a short time and there are even cases of death!! http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=68454
Here's the youtube video from CBS News http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfU6y6KhEOI
Yeah, why would anyone choose not to vaccinate??? They must be nuts like me
The CDC is "closely monitoring the safety of gardisil" and are reporting adverse reactions to the VAERS website (a control website that monitor adverse reactions to all vaccines) Does that mean that our daughters are the guinea pigs?
