Guest guest Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 (Please go to this site and read I think its important) http://news./s/ap/20070203/ap_on_he_me/cervical_cancer This is crazy for one guardasil just came out so there are no long term studies on the effect of it on health. Getting guardasil does not mean that you are safe from contracting HPV. Making it mandatory to get this vaccine sounds dangerous to me for many reasons for one who's to say that having all the population of young women vaccinated will not cause the virus to mutate into a strain that is not only resistant but stronger. Also all bodies are different so what may work for some may hurt others. Anyone who has ever had an allergic reaction to yeast or any other component of HPV vaccine should not get this vaccine. Signs of serious allergic reaction can include difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness. There are more than 100 types of HPV. They usually don't cause any problems. However, when they do, the most frequent result is the common wart, such as those seen on the hands and feet. In most cases, the body's immune system fights off or suppresses the virus before dysplasia or cancer develops. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 70 percent of new HPV infections (including those that are " high risk " ) go away within one year, and 91 percent are gone within two years. It's only when high-risk types of HPV stay " active " that the risk of developing dysplasia and cervical cancer increases significantly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that as many as 80 percent of women will get a genital type of HPV by the age of 50. However, most of those infections go away or are suppressed by the body within one to two years, without causing any problems that require treatment. The protection offered by the vaccines is incomplete. There are roughly 15 types of the HPV virus that can cause cervical cancer. Gardasil is designed to protect against two types of the virus that are responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancers. However, they cannot fully protect women against the remaining 30 percent of cervical cancers that are caused by other " high-risk " types of HPV. From guardasils official site: GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone and does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it is important to continue regular cervical cancer screenings.GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months and can cause pain, swelling, itching, and redness at the injection site, fever, nausea, and dizziness (sound safe to you? and thats just the symptoms makes ya wonder what else its doing in there). Only a doctor or health care professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for you or your daughter (well how are the health care professionals going to decide if its mandatory for all sixth grade girls). According to the CDC, the only way you can totally protect yourself against HPV is to avoid any sexual activity that involves genital contact. HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 account for the majority of HPV-related clinical diseases. Consider what the National Cancer Institute had to say about cervical cancer when Guardasil was still in the experimental stages: Quote: ...Although the vast majority of HPV infections do not progress to cervical cancer, the rare instance when HPV infection persists seems to be important to the development of the disease. " If a woman tests positive for HPV once, that does not mean she is likely to get cervical cancer, " says Allan Hildesheim, Ph.D., a senior investigator in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). " If she tests positive repeatedly over a period of years, that is more worrisome. " Makes u wonder whats the benefit to making so many people so scared that they run out and get the vaccine (could it be the money). So before you believe all the hype and run out and get guardasil think bout if u trust this company to have your best interest in mind and be informed bout what it is and if you want this in your body. I think that it should be up to the individual if they want this in them or not and its not fair to girls to not have a say if they get it. Don't give the government control of your body. Whats next.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Isn't this CRAZY??? Funny you posted this - I JUST signed a petition... There should be a choice..... *Say `NO` to mandatory vaccine for young girls* PLEASE SIGN and RE-POST EVERYWHERE YOU CAN We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition: Say " NO " To Mandatory HPV Vaccine! Target: Rick Perry, Governor, State of Texas Sponsor: Tina Balke - Goal: 25,000 - Deadline: Ongoing... http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/492136407 Austin, Texas - Bypassing the Legislature altogether, Republican Gov. Rick Perry issued an order today (Friday, February 2, 2007) making Texas the first state to require that school girls get vaccinated with " Gardasil " against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer. By employing an " executive order " , Perry sidestepped opposition in the Legislature from conservatives and parents' rights groups. Perry has ties to Merck,the company that manufactures " Gardasil " . Please tell Governor Rick Perry that what he is doing is wrong and that he needs to reverse his order! -- Shana Clagg Discover A Healthier You! http://health.A_Healthier_You The " Safest Products in the World " : http://www.ineways.com/shana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
