Questions Surround HPV Vaccine Gardasil

Some question the value of giving Gardasil to girls as young as 11; others fear the vaccine is responsible for thousands of reported "adverse effects" in recipients.

It is my belief that in no way should any drug be "mandatory" especially ones that deal with a girl/woman's reproductive health. Has anyone thought about what this could do to these young girls who eventually decide to have children? Has anyone taken the time to find out if this drug will cause birth defects? Sterility? Autism? What about the Stroke and Heart Attack factor? I have seen no information on long term side effects. What about if the girl smokes? You see all the warnings about Estrogen but what are the warnings for this drug. I took a birth control pill that had Estrogen in it and had a stroke. It was determined by experts that it was the pill that caused this. I cannot have Estrogen ever again. What will this drug do to these girls in the long run? There really should be more long term testing to see what really happens before we get on the band wagon and require it for everyone! It seems to me we are putting the cart before the horse.

I completely agree. No one knows the long term consequences this may have, not to mention there have already been severe reactions to this shot that don't make the news. Rather than do more testing & research, they just continue to push it on the young girls of our nation.
