Vaccine ignites an ethical minefield


Gardisil is being offered to Grade 8 girls to fight a sexually-transmitted virus linked to cancer.

London and area parents with daughters in Grade 8 face a tough medical decision this fall -- to vaccinate or not vaccinate their child against a sexually transmitted virus linked to cervical cancer.
Parents will have to decide in the fog of a raging debate between medical authorities over the safety and effectiveness of the anti-cancer vaccine.

I would want to delay the vaccinating.

Until further time, testing reveals that there are absolutely NO side effects !!

You hear so many horror stories further down the road as time has passed that the original drugs/meds were not probably tested. Humans should not be lab test subjects.
