Yeah, I called that

The HPV vaccine...with it's clever marketing campaign targeting pre-teen and teenage girls combined with money hungry pharmaceutical companies and you have the recipe for millions of girls getting something they just don't need.

Finally, somebody decided to actually check out it's validity. The truth is, there is no evidence for any long term affect on cervical cancer. People that are putting this drug into their bodies are believing they will never get cervical cancer, when that is simply just not true. 

The medical journal study that finally raised the questions that should have been raised when this was starting to be administered to the public.

So glad you brought that up!
That is one vaccine I just can't trust. I know it has been suggested to young women who have had warts on their hands, which if their doctors were A. Well informed, or B. not having cash jammed into their pockets with fancy dinners would know that these two strains of the HPV virus are not connected in the development of lesions on the cervix or any other genital issue.

Nice work Ed!
