'''1. Does the HPV vaccine prevent cervical cancer? Has cervical cancer ever been proven to be prevented by this vaccine?'''

:NO.  The [[HPV vaccine]] merely provides temporary protection against some diseases that have been found people who develop cervical [[cancer]].  No cause-and-effect has been shown, and the [[vaccine]] probably wears off long before the cancer develops.

'''2. Why does Merck propose to give it to eleven-year-old girls? Why not give it to adults?'''

'''2. Why does Merck propose to give it to eleven-year-old girls? Why not give it to adults?'''

:Adults know 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.

But students at the very same schools are subjected to mandatory vaccination.  This is just another example of teachers using their overpaid, privileged positions to take advantage of the young.

'''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.

They never want to do tests that might reveal flaws in their product, since it would cut into their profit margin.  The health of their subjects is of little or no interest to pharmaceutical companies.

: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.

'''10. What do you say to those who equate Gardasil with the polio vaccine as being a lifesaving tool?'''

'''10. What do you say to those who equate Gardasil with the polio vaccine as being a lifesaving tool?'''

:There are much more effective ways to save lives than requiring people to receive the HPV vaccine.  In fact, it's unclear that this vaccine will save any lives, and it may actually cause an overall loss of life.

It should be remembered that Gardasil only temporarily prevents the transmission of HPV, which is not life-threatening... by definition, such a vaccine could not "save" any lives!

'''11. Will this give girls and women a false sense of security? Do they still need regular pap smears to check for cervical cancer?'''
