Breaking News! Has India Halted HPV Vaccine Program? | The Truth About Gardasil (http://truthaboutgardasil.org/breaking-news-india-halts-hpv-vaccine-program/ - broken link)

Apparently, the HPV vaccine program in India has been stopped. There have been allegations of unethical treatment and giving false information to get these socially disadvantaged girls to participate! This infuriates me.

I included this link, because it has several stories all posted right there.

I finally got my girl to the GYN; Dr mentioned Gardasil, once again, Dr was not pushy; handed literature & we left. I say she mentioned it again because the original appointment was August, daughter chickened out, I went. It's why I like this new (to me) practice because they are women & don't force stuff on you.

I told the nurse practitioner my daughter saw that I understand about HPV & cancer because my hubby was recently diagnosed with an HPV related cancer.

After reading what your daughter and others have been through; I can't make the Gardasil decision for my daughter; she'll be 18 in less then 2 years & can do it herself.

How is your daughter?

This is what happens when non-governmental agencies take control over something with health. They don't have to fear about backlash or parliament quarrels

Texas Governor Rick Perry tried to executive-order Guardasil into all Texas females 12-21 or something like that.

Later efforts by others were going to force it on males, too. The more the merrier, apparently.

Rick Perry's Ties With Merck Run Deep

Just do a search "Rick Perry Guardasil" and you'll get more reading than you want.

ALL agencies can be abusive. My take is the pharm-manufacturer is behind the push, and folks with something to gain will do whatever it takes to push the product.

Don't bother looking for ethical folks pushing this agenda, IMO they're few and far between.

Scare people, create hysteria, push a "cure" like for instance the recent terrible H1N1 plague.
Oh wait, that didn't happen did it? Bird Flu? Swine Flu? The beat goes on.
