'''Adults no enough to refuse the vaccine.  11-year-old girls are guinea pigs who won't refuse. That's all. Teachers' unions do not allow mandatory vaccination of teachers. But students at the very same schools are subjected to mandatory vaccination.'''

3. How many girls has the vaccine been tested on? Do you think the primary motivation behind these mandates (for some) is to use these girls as test subjects?

'''Testing has been grossly inadequate. No reported tests were done on rats to check for whether it causes cancer, or birth defects when given during pregnancy. Why doesn't the manufacturer report those tests? Self-interest: manufacturers of drugs want to do as little testing as possible. They never want to do tests that might reveal flaws in their product.'''

'''Fewer than 12,000 females received this vaccine during tests, and they were monitored for adverse effects for only a short period of time, without checking for cancer or effects on pregnancy.  Among young, pre-teenage girls who are receiving the vaccine, perhaps only a few hundred were tested.'''

'''This type of vaccine is unlikely to remain effective for more than 5 years.  Merck, the manufacturer of the vaccine, doesn't know because it hasn't tested it.  Girls who receive this vaccine at age 13 are unlikely to be protected by it at age 18.  The average age of diagnosis for cervical cancer is 48!
