Getting The Low Down On The HPV Vaccine

There seems to be an increase of skepticism relating to the drugs we are being ask to use without questions as never before. We have always been led to believe that we could trust the FDA information on the medicines and the testing processes and procedures for past decades have been approved because they were both safe and effective and that there was nothing to be concerned about. But, as anyone who watches the news reports regularly will agree that more lawsuits are being brought against drug manufactures more often than ever before on behalf of individuals that have been hurt or fatally injured by the dangerous medications they were taking.

Immunizations or vaccinations are definitely not immune to controversy and as a matter of fact have come under fire of late being accused of being a contributing factor to the countless numbers of cases of autism in the United States and even in other countries throughout the world. Medications even at their best can only be relatively safe for the majority of the population and even then they may still have deadly effects in a wide number of cases.

The newest kid on the vaccine block is the HPV vaccine and is not free from parents being skeptical about allowing this to be given to their daughters and there seem to be some good reasons for this concern. It is being marketed as the only method for preventing cervical cancer when in fact is only reduces the chances of contracting the Human Papilloma Virus and this is only one cause of cervical cancer in females.

The HPV vaccine if it is as effective as claimed is no guarantee to prevent cervical cancer. It might have been approved for use but in reality it is still in the trial phases and nothing is really known about the long term side effects or if the vaccine is truly effective. The potential side effects will not only affect the quality of life for this generation of young women but will affect the future generations of young women well into the future. Until we know for sure, we don't know absolutely and the side effects could be devastating to anyone who has had the vaccination, but only time will expose the real truth of this matter.

Cervical cancer has only a partial connection to the HPV virus and never the only cause for the cancer. Agreeing to receive the vaccination in no way comes with a guarantee that cervical cancer will not be in your future and this is factual information you should log into your memory. Wide spread use and the long term effects of this vaccine can only be validated with years of research and results.
