		<description><![CDATA[While I agree that Cervical Cancer is preventable…the vaccines are quite &quot;iffy&quot; as a prevention tool. One should consider why the CDC is recommending the Gardasil vaccination.

It may actually NOT be the best thing to prevent HPV infection.

Why? Because Merck pharmaceuticals is now facing a class action lawsuit over the vaccine in Australia, and in September, 2011 it was shown that Merck lied about the vaccine only containing “virus-like” particles. In fact, the vaccines are contaminated with rDNA from the HPV virus.

People should also remember that on October 25, 2011, an advisory panel to the CDC recommended that the vaccine be administered to boys ages 9 to 26 – creating a whole new market for sales and profits.

That advisory panel actually receives a ‘kick-back’ on Gardasil sales.

Moreover, have you ever thought about the actual statistics and why the vaccine is pushed so hard…and why everyone and their neighbor says HPV is such a huge health issue?

Remember, the CDC itself says that 90% of people infected with HPV clear the virus from their system within 2 years.

There are an estimated 307,006,550 people in the United States. Let’s divide this number by 2, which will give us the 50% of people who could acquire an HPV infection sometime during their lives.

That leaves us with 153,503,275 people that will likely be infected with HPV.

So, let’s divide 153,503,275 by 2 assuming that of this number, half are women.

This leaves us with 76,751,637.

Of those, only 12,000 will be diagnosed with cervical cancer caused by HPV, and of those, 4,000 will die.

That’s 0.02% (rounded up) diagnosed with cervical cancer. Of that number, 33.3% will die.

That’s 0.005% of the numbers of HPV infected women in America.

Obviously, just one person dying is too many. However, you can see from the numbers that HPV caused cervical cancer deaths are extremely low.

It’s obvious that at $150 per shot (and it takes 3 shots to be vaccinated) Merck &amp; Co., Inc. are going to make a killing if ALL girls are vaccinated.

Their motivation is obvious.]]></description>
