Miscortes works for EmpowHer. She is not in pharmaceutical sales or public relations. If you look for other questions she has answered or posts she has written on the site, you will be able to see that her writing style is simply that -- her writing style. She's asking other women for their experiences. And her primary advice is, "you must talk to your health care provider to see if Gardasil is right for you."
I personally have a friend who had cervical cancer in her 20s (this was 20 years ago) and she never knew why. I have often wondered if it was undiagnosed HPV of some sort. And she had her Pap smears. I'm not sure it's always as black and white as you make it seem.
We're always glad for dissenting opinions at EmpowHer -- they teach us, they keep the conversation educational and lively, and they help other women. But as moderators/guides, we take pride in working hard to try to keep it as objective as possible. I'm sorry you felt that Miscortes' post was something that it's not.
