Fear or Facts? On which will you base your decision to vaccinate? While we will not try to convince anyone to get vaccinated or decline vaccination, we do encourage making an educated decision and to NEVER make a major decision out of fear. One of the most disturbing cases of fear-mongering is that which revolves around the Gardasil vaccination. The Gardasil vaccine is targeted to females ages 9-26 in hopes of”preventing” cervical cancer.
Here are some facts you need to know about HPV:
* When detected in the early stages, the HPV virus is easily treated and rarely proceeds to cancer.
* Not all women with HPV develop cervical cancer.
* HPV is just one of several potential causes of cervical cancer.
* At least 50% of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives — and 90% of the time the virus clears up on its own within two years, and does not lead to cancer.
