"We have to stop thinking about the STD…It is a cancer vaccine and people need to be referring to it as a cancer vaccine," says Electra Paskett, co-leader of the cancer control research program at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

never.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a little cancer anyway. No big deal.
ReplyDeleteIt's not necessary. People will get vaccinated and their bodies will become weaker. A new strand comes along and wham, they have no way to fight it. I have absolutely no cancer in my family. Thus, this shot is unnecessary. Horray, I never have to worry about getting this shot done.
ReplyDeleteHmm... Any history of polio in your family ?
ReplyDeleteBecause if the shots always make us weak, why don't we all have polio. We've all been getting vaxed for 2 to 3 or 4 generations now.
I think that one is unnecessary too like the flu shot.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever met anyone who had polio ? It was once fairly common.
ReplyDeleteI recognize the fact that people have a right to make medical decisions and respect it. I respect it to the point of seeing people very important to me refusing medical support that resulted in their death. It hurts me greatly so see anyone, let alone people very close to me makes choices that means I lose them. It is their right though as it it yours. I won't try to change your choice. It's yours to make and mine to share in the outcome of.
Right. We will always disagree about the HPV vaccine.
ReplyDeleteI understand. One thing to keep in mind though is that It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of the reproductive-age population has been infected with one or more types of genital HPV and up to 5.5 million new infections occur each year.
ReplyDeleteThese stats are just in the US though. In other places the numbers are much lower due to the health care opportunities. Like 20% vs 75%.
Maybe they should stop having unprotected sex. Whatever happened to sex ed?
ReplyDeleteThey cut that out in the Reagan era. (just kidding)
ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteWe never had it when I was in school. My mum told me just don't have sex until you are married. She never told me why, she never told me about virginity. I would be different with my kid. With my 5% chance of conceiving tho, I will most likely be educating my feline daughter about boys. She too, is forced to get vaccines that apparently are necessary. I am never going to not get them tho. Time will tell if I Ever change my mind of hpv.
ReplyDeleteI will admit that I decide for myself what vaccines - and other things my doctors prescribe. We all need to make these choices ourselves. It's good to be well informed but in the end, it's up to each one of us.
ReplyDeleteYeah, like one time I got "bit" by a little girl. The doctor wanted me to get tested for hiv. I said no, I can make that choice. I like that.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Though to be accurate, you made that choice for both you and your husband too.
ReplyDeleteted kelly the likelihood is very small. We talked and both agreed it was unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteI used to donate blood pretty regularly. I figured the combination of good deed and free test was a win-win situation.
ReplyDeleteted kelly Phil has done that.
