Mark,

My ENT doctor said he is having more yound patients with HPV oral cancer.  It is a good thing they came out with this gardisile shot.  Spelling?  I think this should be part of sex education in all schools and at home.  Kids don't think they are having sex if the have oral sex.  You may not get pregnant, but you may get oral cancer.  Sorry we have to rain on their parade.

Or we could teach the important life lesson of self-control, as well as share with them the results of the study.  Encouraging sexual behavior among children by giving them shots to make sure it's easy and safe is not something I can advocate.

I don't know if I should even post.. The more I read about the vax the less I like it. To each their own; hopefully they will figure out how long the vax is actually in effect. I also read that some vaccines are not stored properly to begin with; so they're putting a lot of faith in that alone.

I've also heard that some kids think this is the "safe sex" vaccine. It is not; there are other STD's it does not protect against. If they're going to have sex; a condom is the only protection from STD's.

We get cancer from HPV because our immune system can't contain it. I'm starting to believe that keeping the immune system healthy to begin with may be the way to go.

I was told this by my ENT at Winthrop in Garden City NY 4 Yrs ago

It was too early for him to publish any findings but he had been aggressively following biopsies on younger non typical  types of head and neck cancer

Now it seems Like EVERYTHING fun to do will either Kill you or give you Cancer lol hahah

This topic has been presented here before, but it's good to remind folks of it.  The new vaccine against some forms of HIV are promising, and I hope many more parents choose to do this for their children.  I've heard that some people consider it giving young people a license for a license for having sex, but it really does not have anything to do with age or marital status.  It's a health issue.
