147. some more evidence

that you conveniently omitted when you quoted that article:

All of her trials have been with subjects ages 15-25. In her own practice, Harper believes the ideal way of administering the new vaccine is to offer it to women ages 18 and up. At their first inoculation, they should be tested for the presence of HPV in their system.

If the test comes back negative, then schedule the follow-up series of the three-part shots. But if it comes back positive?

"Then we don't know squat, because medically we don't know how to respond to that" Harper said

And I just don't know how to respond to that. In any way.

The zealousness to inoculate all these younger girls may very well backfire at the very time they need protection most, she said. "This vaccine should not be for 11 year old girls", she reiterated. "It's not been tested in little girls for efficacy. at 11, these girls don't get cervical cancer - they won't know for 25 years if they will get cervical cancer.

What century is this woman living in?

In THIS century, women in their early 20s, who have not been on this planet for 25 years, in rising numbers, are being diagnosed with cervical cancer.

My opinion stands. She is a fucking moron. And worse.
