Isn't it cervical cancer that it prevents and NOT ovarian cancer?
I got the first shot in the Gardasil series as an adult, even though I already had/have a strain of HPV (one of the cancer-causing strains, which has been fun). I was forced into it as an adult by a nasty, inconsiderate, rude, dismissive, intimidating doctor. I threw up and felt weak & dizzy before ever leaving the office. I never went back for the subsequent shots; I was in a monogamous relationship with my now-husband and, as I said, already had (at least) one strain of HPV; and after how I felt after the first shot, I wasn't going back for more.
I am still battling the cervical issues that have come up due to the HPV. I've had numerous pap smears and cervical biopsies, as well as a LEEP procedure (this is where they literally cut & burn away a chunk of your cervix). The LEEP did not end with clear margins so my pap smears still come back "bad" and I've been urged to have more cervical biopsies and likely LEEP procedures, which I'm really just not interested in. I firmly believe that I have PTSD due to the trauma of everything that went on, including the procedures themselves and the doctors who performed them. I have yet to meet a gyn who understands how absolutely disgusting and invasive I find these procedures to be and understands the mental toll they take on me. (/ side rant)
All of that said, I don't think that I could in good conscience let my (hypothetical) daughter receive this vaccine. I got sick from it, but entirely too many other girls and women have gotten way sicker from it. This vaccine was released prematurely and needed more testing. I want to see what the long-term results are when all of the 12-year-old girls who are getting it now grow up and try to reproduce, etc. I'm not an anti-vaxxer by any means; my future hypothetical children will definitely be vaccinated against polio, mumps, rubella, measles, whooping cough, chicken pox, etc. But I don't think this HPV vaccine is a good idea right now. And I say that as someone with HPV and who has had a lot of trauma relating to it.
Thanks for speaking up. It's very brave since there are people who make a living pushing this poison who will be quick to discredit you. You will save a few lives by doing this, no doubt.
I have also read that the vaccine has no efficacy in women who have already been exposed to the two cancer-causing strains included in the vaccine. In fact, these women may have a greater risk of developing cervical cancer.
I'd say keep doing your research and reading other people's experiences, and go with your gut. This vaccine has a HUGE black eye and one day people will wake up and it will be pulled off the market, much like the swine flu vaccine was in the 70's, as well as small pox vaccine and oral polio vaccine was also in the US.
Pulling myself away from this thread and blocking the vaccine pushers as I just cannot read anymore propaganda any longer. Peace out and I really hope your family sails through these injections without incident.
Oh, one more thing: if the CDC can lie about the swine flu vaccine, why wouldn't they lie about others?
CBS "60 MINUTES" documentary on the swine flu epidemics of 1976 in the U.S. It went on air only once and was never shown again.
In this stunning video interview done by Mike Wallace, you will hear that:
1) The CDC did NOT test the actual vaccine that ultimately went to 46 millions Americans (X-53).
2) The vaccine killed hundreds of people and permanently maimed/injured several thousands in America.
3) The public was NOT warned about the possible permanant neurological sicknesses that could result from taking the shot.
4) The CDC knew that the shot was dangerous but did NOT put this information on the waivers that people would sign before getting the shot.
5) The entire vaccine campaign was ordered and started BEFORE any confirmed case of swine flu was actually found.
6) The actual only confirmed flu case that was deadly (and this is dubious since the soldier refused a sick bed order), was one soldier who had the flu and collapsed on a forced march, all other soldiers, four of them, were back to normal within days without getting a shot.
7) The CDC freely used the names of well-known movie stars without their permission to launch the campaign successfully, including Mary Tyler Moore.
8) Mary Tyler Moore did NOT take the shot, although the CDC said she did. She wisely said "NO" because she suspected it was not healthy. Her doctor ultimately agreed.
9) Dr. Sencer, head of the CDC at the time, ordered the campaign as well as the advertising for it, and not once was any danger mentioned in any of the literature!
10) The CDC LIED to the public to sell a vaccination campaign, and Mike Wallace nailed the head in this interview, as Dr. Sencer is left squirming in his chair!
