Concerns with Gardasil

Gardasil, the relatively new vaccine for HPV, is under fire after complaints that several young girls that were administered the vaccine suffered paralysis. This is a disturbing development, if true, that requires further study and review. The makers of Gardasil have been campaigning for the FDA to approve the vaccine for boys - since men are often carriers of HPV.

And even worse, many experts are now saying that young teen girls should not be getting it till they're 18 or older. It is only proven effective for 5 years, so why start it at 11 ? And the average of of a cervical cancer patient is 47, because young girls are believed to be able to slough it off. See article linked to my name.
