Lets see what Dr.Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines and director of the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group at the University of Missouri, told an audience of medical professionals on October 25, 2009.
And remember, this is coming from a developer of the Gardasil vaccine! She says, Gardasil is largely unnecessary, and that it has never been fully tested on females under the age of 15. This, despite strong marketing efforts to make the drug mandatory for girls, and product literature and advertising that state the product can be used by girls as young as age 9."
Dr. Harpers remarks were made to an audience at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination. During this talk, she said 70 percent of all HPV infections resolve themselves without treatment within a year, and that within two years that number climbs to 90 percent. Of the remaining 10 percent, she said, only half will develop into cervical cancer, resulting in little need for the vaccine. She also said incidences of cervical cancer are steadily decreasing with conventional treatments and preventative measures.
Add this to the fact that Mercks own website says this vaccine is not intended to take the place of regular check ups and pap smears.

In fact, Merck only studied the Gardasil vaccine in fewer than 1,200 girls under 16 prior to it being released to the market under a fast-tracked road to licensure...
There are more than 100 types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and Gardasil protects against only 4 types but 90 percent of women naturally clear HPV from their bodies within two years, at which point cervical cells return to normal.
The cervical cancer death rate is very low in the United States (3 per 100,000), as this cancer is usually entirely curable when detected early enough through PAP screenings, which have reduced cervical cancer rates by 70 percent in the U.S. since PAP screens have become a routine part of womens health care.

"doctors I know believe this vaccine is very important in outright preventing cancer"

Yes they should. And the Dem Party should spend some money making sure that message gets out.

CBS News: Gardasil Researcher Speaks Out (aka, don't let the facts get in your way).

It's the summary of a CBS interview with one of Gardasil's chief developers at Merck.

Censorship, really? I think your assessment of AoA is wrong and that name-calling should be banned.

It's only easy to defend if you think that science is the same thing as bullshit.

You are misinformed. The field is highly dynamic and you are not up-to-date.

You are misinformed, but don't bother reading. You might learn something you don't want to hear.

That's totally ludicrous, AoA is precisely the opposite of what you describe.
