Before I begin, this post isn't about childhood vaccinations which have proven their efficacy and benefit. This post questions the efficacy and benefit of the latest HPV vaccine.
I've blogged about this before. Experts in the past have questioned the Canadian government's swiftness in approving the vaccine for wide use saying that the effectiveness of the vaccine is not complete nor does anyone know the long-term effects of the vaccine. With schools implementing free vaccinations (you have to pay if you choose to get the vaccination at your doctor's office), very few are asking the why the urgency for a vaccine that might not work against the two strains of HPV that cause cancer. So far there have been over 1,637 adverse reaction reports (more information here).
Now, a fourteen year old girl has died from being given the vaccine.
If the current vaccine is not only ineffective against the strains of HPV which cause cancer but causes adverse reactions in girls vaccinated in school programs, why fund it?
