Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the world’s most common sexually transmitted infection. It is a prerequisite for cervical cancer, the second most common cause of death in cancer among women worldwide, and is also believed to cause other anogenital and head and neck cancers.

Even after young women reach adulthood, their mothers can play a key role in convincing them to receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, new research suggests.
A study found that college-aged women were more likely to say they had received the HPV vaccine if they had talked to their mother about it.
“Mothers talking to their daughters were an important factor in whether young women were vaccinated,” said Janice Krieger, lead author of the study and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State University.

It is unfortunate–no it is simply tragic to believe everything that is read. For many people, they believe what is publicized by the medical community to be nearly a gospel–and follow many medical representatives recommendations to a T. When Gardasil was released to the market in 2006, it was advertised as an essential vaccination that every parent should get for their little girl so that she could be “one less” young lady with cervical cancer. But as problems arose and questions were raised about the side effects and safety of the vaccine there was a lot of silence–from both Merck and the FDA on the issues raised. Claims of illnesses like Guillain Barre Syndrome, seizures, comas and even death began to surface and no one could find any “responsible party” who was willing to acknowledge or help with the claims. As a result, individual vaccination-rights groups began to look into the issues and many interesting facts have arose as a result. In a recent press release from the group SANE Vax, flaws in Merck’s recent data surrounding the approval of Gardasil for boys brings up some highly valid points that bear looking into.
