25. I'm aware of those numbers
Edited on Thu Dec-01-11 11:07 AM by SixthSense
Still, do the math. Even using the 12,000/year figure (that's a national figure, so it's among ~150M females) Perry and his friends from Merck forced this vaccine on a million girls when statistically 80 of them will end up with cancer due to HPV.

A million vaccines for something that will affect 80 people? Keep in mind this is a brand new, barely tested vaccine, not a long established and safe vaccine like the one for polio. The risk/reward ratio is way too high for this to be an advisable course of action, and even if the risk were zero, the cost/benefit is also too low to justify jabbing everyone with it.

By the way, when Perry & Co. were called out on the extremely low incidence they then turned around and demanded it be given to boys for the even-rarer penile cancer.

We must be extremely wary about these things especially since the people who make them are proven to be extremely corrupt and untrustworthy. They will relentlessly hide all the negatives of their products while inflating the positives far beyond what the facts justify.
