35. QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HPV VACCINE TO ANSWER BEFORE IT BECOMES MANDATORY
The blogger "Progressive Review" asks DC City Counsel:
"Why must African people, women, people of color and other marginalized groups of people, our bodies, be made guinea pigs for the benefit and advancement of science?"


QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HPV VACCINE TO ANSWER BEFORE IT BECOMES MANDATORY



ASANTEWAA NKRUMAH-TURE - I am not personally advocating against the HPV vaccine; I'm strongly advocating that we all ask questions and demand all of our questions and concerns be addressed to our satisfaction. . . The following questions must be asked:

- Does the vaccine Gardasil prevent all types of cervical cancer? If not, which ones will it prevent? Does the vaccine protect against the most common types of cervical cancer here in the USA? If the leading killer of women in the USA is heart disease and not breast or cervical cancer, why is this vaccine being made "mandatory"?

- New Jersey-based Merck Co. makes this vaccine and its questionable ties to politicians and others has now come to light. For example, Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry received $6,000 from the drug company's political action committee during his re-election campaign. . . Billions of dollars can be made by the drug company; the three required doses cost $360, and of course, the drug company is aggressively pushing for the vaccine to be "mandatory."

- Who is held liable in the case of mild or severe adverse effects or allergic reactions? . . . How many years of study on possible adverse effects has been done and documented?
