It was found that girls who had multiple sexual partners were more likely to get cervical cancer, and when HPV was determined to sometimes be the cause for that, the reason came out. Males can be carriers of the virus and pass it on to each female he has sex with. So I can see why they'd think to give it to boys (if it worked and wasn't dangerous). That being said, though.. if I had a daughter, I'd much rather she just avoid the heartbreak and inherent risks in sleeping around. There are many reasons to wait for marriage (or at least a solid long-term relationship) even aside from the biblical ones everyone touts. It's just smart.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gives an idea of how &amp;quot;it all&amp;quot; began.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=70285" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Company Marketing Leads to HPV Vaccine Rise</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/09/drug-company-marketing-leads-to-hpv-vaccine-rise.aspx#70284</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:23:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:70284</guid><dc:creator>CEM</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;What I'm trying to figure out is, even if the vaccine were effective, why target girls? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems that young women are (once again) having to bare the brunt of responsibility in sexual relationships. They are encouraged to take birth control to prevent pregnancy, go to the gynecologist annually to make sure they aren't carrying any STDs, and now they must get vaccinated so they don't spread HPV?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would never allow them to vaccinate me against HPV - or anything, for that matter. This is yet one more example of how our (male-dominated) medical industry is making money off of the pretense of caring about my female organs and well-being, when, in fact, all they are doing is encouraging young men to have careless sex while laying the responsibility of pregancy and disease exclusively on women.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How stupid do these people who create this garbage think we are? &amp;nbsp;They seem to believe that we will swallow anything that comes along. &amp;nbsp;With Government backing, maybe we will.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a book by Dr. Lorraine Day, entitled &amp;quot;Diseases Don't Just Happen&amp;quot; which I am sure will be helpful to many, because it explains our part in diseases, and how we can have our bodies prepared to properly fight off diseases. &lt;/p&gt;

And the year that the AAP endorsed Merck's HPV vaccine, they received a $433,000 "contribution" from Merck. Hmmm… do you think that "contribution" would have been as generous if the AAP had spoken out against the HPV vaccine?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'"&gt;&lt;font color=#000000&gt;As for Every Child By Two, they wouldn't even admit to the amount of contributions that they receive from Big Pharma, though they did admit that they do take money from the vaccine industry. A spokesman for Every Child By Two claimed that "there are simply no conflicts to be unearthed." Oh yeah? Then why is one of the group's treasurers an official from Wyeth Pharmaceutical? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=70280" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Company Marketing Leads to HPV Vaccine Rise</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/09/drug-company-marketing-leads-to-hpv-vaccine-rise.aspx#70279</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:59:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:70279</guid><dc:creator>stoic</dc:creator><description>&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'"&gt;&lt;font color=#000000&gt;2.&lt;br /&gt;But organizations are one thing; individuals quite another. And that's why to me the worst of the three on the Big Pharma payroll is Dr. Offit. This man has been quoted as saying that babies can tolerate – get this – "10,000 vaccines at once." Sickening, right? Well, Attkinson found that he also holds a Merck-funded $1.5 million research chair at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Oh, and he also personally HOLDS THE PATENT on an anti-diarrhea vaccine that's produced by – who else? – Merck! The future royalties on this vaccine just sold for a staggering $182 million… no wonder Dr. Offit loves vaccines so much — he's apparently fully immunized himself against poverty.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'"&gt;&lt;font color=#000000&gt;Shining the light on Big Pharma's pro-vaccine roaches, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=70279" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Company Marketing Leads to HPV Vaccine Rise</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/09/drug-company-marketing-leads-to-hpv-vaccine-rise.aspx#70277</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 01:20:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:70277</guid><dc:creator>organicmum</dc:creator><description>Not too sure if you had any of the media over there in the US but a few weeks ago the media was reporting what a great success the Gardasil vaccine was and that it will have wiped out cervical cancer by the year 2020........I wish I had kept a copy of the media information (I might have to search on that!!!)....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would be interested to see how many of these young women are sterile or unable to have children, or are sick with some other illness......&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=70277" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Company Marketing Leads to HPV Vaccine Rise</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/09/drug-company-marketing-leads-to-hpv-vaccine-rise.aspx#70257</link><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:58:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:70257</guid><dc:creator>PPARGammaGirl</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;An excellent new book by British journalist Janine Roberts has just been published called “Fear of the Invisible: How scared should we be of Viruses and Vaccines, HIV and AIDS?” It is the result of over 10 years of painstaking investigation into the murky, Mengeloid world of virology and vaccines.

Bull****. I wouldn't even say its a "triumph of&lt;br&gt;marketing". That would be too kind. What this is, is a triumph of evil&lt;br&gt;and greed that must be torn down. And by how many casualties there are&lt;br&gt;already, there's going to be consequences down the road. Especially&lt;br&gt;with Virginia soon, since it was the only state that passed a mandate and&lt;br&gt;every other state's proposal failed. 9000 serious reactions, 18 deaths,&lt;br&gt;78 genital warts outbreaks, and 6 guillian-barre cases. That's only the&lt;br&gt;reported cases, about 10% are reported (do the math because I'm&lt;br&gt;horrible at math). The numbers and deaths could be far higher.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They do not care about "educating", or anyone. They only care about&lt;br&gt;money. Their lobbyings, their hounding of doctors, patients' and&lt;br&gt;women's groups, medical experts, and political organizations is just&lt;br&gt;their way to 'spend a little money in order to make more money'. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The people who snap "Would you rather your daughter die of cervical&lt;br&gt;cancer?" stuns me beyond belief as how blinded and narrow minded they&lt;br&gt;are. They don't look at the big picture. They only think one-sided. My judgment tells me that the pharmaceutical industry is dangerous,&lt;br&gt;greedy, cannot be ever trusted, and is waging a biowarfare campaign in&lt;br&gt;a reckless assault against the health and rights of all girls and young&lt;br&gt;women. If only 10% of US girls and young women got this vaccine, that&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;is still a big number not counting the UK, Canada, and Australia's mass&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;vaccination Gardasil/Cervarix campaigns. The numbers are probably going&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;to increase significantly. Unless people start to reject it once they really realize how dangerous it is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wonder...Merck. Did everyone who works for Merck give Gardasil to their &lt;em&gt;own&lt;/em&gt; daughters? I'd like to know that. &lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=70251" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
