HPV Vaccination For School-Age Girls

Requiring HPV Vaccination For School-Age Girls - Medical News Today

Lowy, referring to opposition from parents and pro-abstinence groups who believe the vaccine could promote sexual promiscuity, said, “We should minimize the degree to which [Gardasil is] politically polarized by giving parents the option of opting out of the vaccine.”

He added that mandating the vaccine before a long safety record has been established is a risky move because the current research does not indicate how long the vaccine will remain effective or if women will need to receive booster shots. “We know it will work for five years, but having a longer record of high effectiveness would make it more reasonable to mandate the vaccine,” Lowy said (CQ HealthBeat, 6/20).

Numerous countries in Europe are encouraging parents to vaccinate young girls against HPV in order to prevent cervicical cancer. Some of these countries are likely to require girls to get this vaccination in the near future. In fact my own sisters are probably going to have to get vaccinated against it.

I’m firmly opposed to this. After all, how do you get HPV? By having unsafe sex. The form of HPV they want girls to be vaccinated against is a sexually transmitted disease, like HIV.

The root cause of the spread of STDs and the increase in diseases like cervicical cancer in young girls is due to the loss of values in sexuality. You can require as much vaccinations and place as much condom vending machines in schools as you like, as long as you don’t address the root cause of the problem, STDs are here to stay. On the other hand, some people say that if your daughter gets raped, you’ll be glad she was vaccinated. Odd as it may sound, there’s truth in that since you can get away with 2 years in prison for rape in my country. But then step one for me would be to re-establish capital punishment for rapists. There can be no excuse for rape.

This is just one example of how the governments representing Western civilization think adultery is okay and do nothing to discourage it. They promote lifestyles that are rebellion to God. The spread of sexual transmitted diseases is the natural price (and punishment) society is paying for rejecting God’s will regarding sex. I feel insulted that my sisters may be required to be vaccinated as if they belonged to the crowd living in rebellion and lawlessness.
