Glowing reviews for Guardasil, as usual.

They can try all they like... they aren't getting my kid. I'd be interested to know the fertility rates of these girls later in their lives.

Even if these girls experience reduced fertility later in life, nobody is going to admit that it was the vaccines fault. Just like the 25 deaths are in no way connected to the vaccine.

The U.S. study covered 190,000 girls and young women who received at least one dose of the vaccine's three-shot regimen.
I'm sure I've seen reports of problems for girls who didn't have a bad reaction until their 2nd or 3rd shot. So this is misleading.

The CDC researchers compared medical data on those girls who got the vaccine with data for girls and young women who received other vaccines or none.
Aren't there problems with lumping the vaccine/no vaccine control groups together, which is what may have happened here?

Oh, thank goodness.

I guess we can now just forget about the VAERS reports of post-vaccination Guillain-Barré Syndrome, blood clots ... and those 27 deaths in the 28 (?) months since it's approval.

'Cause Gardasil is perfectly safe.

Yes, and vaccine studies often use previous versions of the same vaccine as "control" groups when measuring adverse reactions, which is ridiculous. It's all entirely unscientific and very dishonest. In this case I wouldn't be surprised if the methodology were sloppy enough to make the study completely worthless.
