125. What woman isn't going to get regular pap smears and examinations with the use of vaccines, that...

Thu Dec 3, 2015, 07:54 PM

Dec 2015

argument makes absolutely no sense.

There are numerous conditions and infections that can occur and its good health practice to get examined. Are those dispensing with the HPV vaccine telling women and girls to not go to the OB-GYN?

Your argument makes about as much sense as saying that the flu vaccine is bad because people will stop going to the doctor for their yearly checkup because they were given the vaccine.

In addition, has a causal link been established between the vaccine and the fainting and blood clots or not? In addition, what is the risk assessment, and how does that compare to the risk of developing cervical cancer without the taking the vaccine? It seems to me, from the information beyond what you bolded, that no definitive causal relationship has been established.
