		<description>36 patients died after receiving Gardasil vaccines. Now over 13,667 adverse events reported in the VAERS database. We dont know
about the long term effects of gardasil vaccine. We know from Canadian research studies that aluminum adjuvant causes motor neuron death in mice. Europian animal studies also indicate that polysorbate 80, boric acid
and aluminum salts are infertility agents. Boric acid also able to increase cancer proliferation in mice studies. Not enough is known about this aluminum /detergent garbage vaccine. Do not use immigrants as lab rats and guinea pigs.The vaccine causes paralysis, death,organ failure,blindness,auto-immune disorders.USA is on the way to become a fascist country. Do not fill up Merck dirty and
bloody pockets. Please treat the immigrants like your own citizens. On the long run the vaccine is causing severe harm and increases
the toxic load in the immune system. Please
do not experiment on immigrants. Please be ethical, do not put the dirty profit ahead
of what is right and fair to these people.
Merck is a corporate criminal, all the test and more must be done, repeated by an independent agency. Please do not discriminate
against the immigrants, do not use them as lab rats.</description>

		<description>This is very concerning to those of us with children coming to the US.  My natural born daughters are not required to have this vaccine and I feel my adopted daughter should have the same rights.  I am worried about this vaccine and having been left without a choice on this. i am just praying she will be ok once it is administered.  I feel terrible for the thousands of girls who have had terrible side effects from this vaccine.  I hope the law changes.</description>

		<description>If cervical cancer can be prevented by vaccination without risk, that is one thing.  However, serious side effects including deaths have been reported, plus the length of effectiveness is unknown.  To me, it is not clear that the best decision for a teenager is to get vaccinated. At best it is great that it is available for those who choose it.</description>

		<description>Chris,
Thanks for the clarification. However, as far as I understand Gardasil protects against two of the highest risk strains which cause about 70% of cervical cancers. I know there are about a hunderd others and that most carriers of the virus will be fine, but my point with the statistics was to illustrate the size of the problem (as I see it) from which cervical cancers will result. If it can be prevented by vaccination it seems worthwhile, depending of course on one's religious views.</description>

		<description>Christopher - 
Only a small fraction of those who have the HPV virus will get cancer, thus your numbers are somewhat deceptive. Plus other HPV strains can also cause cancer, Guardasil only addresses a couple of the major strains, and nobody knows how long the protection lasts.  

As per Harpy's comment - In modeling for ACIP, Merck assumed that there was no protection for those only getting one dose. Not sure how much that is based on scientific fact, but certainly interesting to note.</description>

		<description>Lisa,
There are plenty of people on soap boxes whose beliefs are very important to them and who take every opportunity to share their views with anyone in close range.
In this case, when HPV affects 20m in the USA alone, 5.5m new cases each year, and so many (up to 75%) of sexually active males and females likely to catch it at some time or other, this seems like an important cause. Especially when so many sexually active under 16s are affected. 
But if somebody's religious beliefs preclude such intervention - despite opposing wisdom from others not sharing those beliefs - it's not enough to argue that it's about safety and that is more important than other factors. Not from another soap box anyway.</description>
