Bonnie, you mentioned in a previous post that Merck continues to test Gardasil. I'm not sure that that's true. I've heard that they stopped the medical studies. I don't believe they tested long enough. They should have tested Gardasil for many, many years before giving it to our daughters. I'd like to find out for sure if they are doing medical studies. It seems to me that they're only interested in making big bucks, so I'd be surprised if they're still studying things like side effects of Gardasil.
Also, why the rush to get 11 and 12 year olds vaccinated? Many won't be having sex for another 5+ years, and we don't even know if Gardasil is effective for that long.
There are still so many questions about this drug. I don't see why we're rushing to give it to our young girls. I don't even know for sure if it causes infertility. Does anyone?
