I have been very open about my dislike of this damn vaccine since day 1. A few points about gardasil
1. it is NOT a vaccine against cervical cancer. It is a vaccination against a suspected cause of cervical cancer.
2. This cause is HPV - a virus which 80% of women will carry at one time or another in their lifetime, and of which there are several different strains. This vaccination "guards" you against only 3 of the strains.
3. IF YOU HAVE HPV AT THE TIME OF GETTING THE SHOT IT IS MUCH MORE LIKELY THAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DEVELOP THE CANCER!!! did you get tested for HPV just before you ahd your shot?
4. 50 women a year in australia die from cervical cancer - the stats arent provided as to how often they had their pap tests etc.....
5. to get to the stage where cervical cancer is going to kill you it usually needs to go undetected for FIVE to TEN years.
6. if it was so bloody effective why would they still be pushing you to go have your regular pap tests?
there is more, but i just woke up
eta - oh yes tahts right - they dotn even know for sure how long this will protect all those innocent bodies getting jabbed!
