The preferable age of vaccination is an implication of sexual activity? Actually, it is the complete opposite. They want to vaccinate at 12 because the large majority of girls are not sexually active and therefore at the best time to have the vaccine. Once you become sexually active the statistical effectiveness of Gardasil drops.

What?? The vaccine does NOT imply sexual activity

and on top of that, what pedophile is going to go "Oh Wait, I want to make sure she doesn't get HPV, lets go get her vaccinated." What kind of logic is that?

You get it before you are sexually active and therefore have no strains of HPV. The vaccine prevents you from getting several strains of HPV in the future, when you become sexually active. If you become sexually active and get one of these strains Gardasil can not prevent you from getting it and it is therefore less effective then it would have been had you had the vaccine BEFORE.

I'm sorry, I should have said, the statistical effectiveness of Gardasil drops if you decide to have the vaccine after you become sexually active.

You mean those same scientists that said Vioxx was safe, , Fen-fen, Baycol, Adderall XR, and countless others over the years due to less extensive drug trials?

Yeah, they are getting paid FAT CASH to get these drugs out to the public and on the market ASAFP to MAKE MONEY.

No Guardasil shot for my munchkin; she's my daughter, not a big pharma guinea pig.

I don't believe in making in mandatory. Your daughter can ask for it herself when she's old enough.

It used to make me sad. Now it`s starting to make me angry. There is nothing more contemptible than fear-mongering based on ignorance.
