It can lay dormant for years, and later resurface to cause health problems. More importantly, the adverse side effects are not defined here. Adverse side effects range from mild to severe-but I am sure most people would prefer an adverse side effect to cancer. The mutations HPV causes are real, and the risk of cancer is real-I should know. I don't understand the attack this vaccine has come under. We get flu shots every year that make us. Idly I'll, all in the hope of not contracting a particular strain of influenza that was predicted months earlier to be the most problematic strain. There are no guarantees the flu won't still be contracted, and there certainly side effects. But to the elderly, certain cardiac populations, and other at risk groups, the risk of feeling crummy for up to two weeks is worth the risk. These HPV viruses are the same way. Just because a lot of people with HPV never develop symptoms does not mean the vaccine should be black listed and avoided. There are still some 20% of us who did become and do become symptomatic. I wish I could have gotten that vaccine, but thank God I had medical insurance to afford a regular check up-otherwise right now I may be sitting in some cancer ward. The whole notion of this being a bad vaccine just sounds like scientifically unbased scare tactics to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
