Default Another Big Pharma scare tactic!

A few days ago, I read an article stating that young boys should be vaccinated against a potential throat cancer contacted via oral sex. At the time, I thought it was an insanely ridiculous notion. Today I found this Mike Adams article highlighting just how absurd it really is.

How low can they ( big pharma ) go?

Hmmmmmm.......
Can't say I saw that article, but since men transmit the virus and the numbers who carry it are a mere fraction compared to girls, it is not recommended at all for boys at this time. My concern would be over the oral STDs I know young men (and women) can get - gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes.

big pharma is only going to keep growing. now that they're selling 'the only fda approved supplement' and they get so much help from the fda (the fda funds bull**** studies to help sell scripts) they'll expand their market size in the nutritional supplement market.

Our wonderful FDA is bought and paid for!! It's not about safety as was the purpose when it first began...now it's about $$. Read about the corruption in our FDA. I have read where the big pharmas are "making-up" diseases just so they can create more medications for the FDA to pass to make more $$. Many X-big pharma employees retire to work for the FDA--where they make tons of $$-- isn't that a conflict of interest?? Talk about scary!! :0

The actual potential use of the vaccine is in the prevention of some oral cancers that may be caused by one of the numerous strains of the HPV virus. It is in research stages at present and NOT targeted solely at adolescent males.

Wow, Franco! That was a great article and soooo true! It's amazing what FEAR will sell!!! It doesn't have to be true...just scary!

Most people won't think for themselves or do any research and those are usually the same people who just believe whatever a doctor says!

Thanks for the info!

I have found this to be true time and time again. There are people who just swallow everything the doctors say and there are those that are too stubborn to hear what the doctors say first. Either way research is always important. Go on the net, read labels, AND ask your doctor.
