Go jump off a bridge it is good for you!

If I told you to do this would you?  You probably wouldn't do it if I said to but would you if someone else told you to?  You probably still wouldn't, but it seems that we do almost every day. Why is it that people seem to blindly accept what others tell them is good for them. Why is it, that parents blindly accept someone else telling them that they should and to in this case require their children to comply. And they do this without knowing all the information or the full impact.  When

When I first heard about this, I was outraged and totally opposed.  The more I learned the more my feelings of resistance grew.  These feelings mounted and intensified, and continue to grow.  First off, I have an issue with any one mandating or regulating, things that affect my body or someone else. This infuriates me more when I learn of possible conflict of interest, or greed.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

 This is something we probably all heard about recently, especially if you have a daughter between the ages of 14 and 24. Wait!  A new initiative will have even younger girls receiving treatment to promote acceptance among parents.  Going even further in may be a requirement that have your son receive the same treatment. Wait!  A new initiative, may have your younger daughters receiving the same treatment and even your son'
sreceiving the treatment.  

If you haven't figured out yet what I'm talking about, you're either don't have children or you've been living under a rock.  What I am talking about is the 'new' HPV vaccination.

Before you run out, or drag your children out, to the Dr. for this vaccine, you may want to research are more.  There are several things you will probably we need to know, at least want to know, before signing the dotted line in taking the needle.

One of the major things that are really irks me about this is the new initiative.  To even suggest, but the vaccination be given to younger kids, merely for it to be more widely accepted by parents.  I'll ludicrous is this?  Where's the merit and value in giving it to younger kids?  Is it so that will be more accepting when giving a our older children were sent to increase the size of bank accounts?

Hey I have made my decision and maybe you have to.  If you haven't made the decision or been faced with it yet, get the facts first.  This is not a magic wand or cure all the HPV or cervical cancer.  This is not a cure and it best could be a prevention.  The most effective way, and most economical way, is to test sexually active people for HPV and treat the HPV.

Know the facts and make informed decisions, don't blindly accept the word of others especially if there's a chance that they stand to profit at your expense.  Separate marketing from actual data and statistics.
