Gardasil

OT? Will delete if not allowed.

I was wondering is there any good anti-Gardasil articles out there? I have to write about it for a class and I would like to hear what people who are against Gardasil have to say.

Thanks.

Most often, PID is caused by gonorrhea or chlamydia although some cases can occur due to recurring BV infection. I did some searching around to try to find *something* that connected either Gardasil or HPV with PID, but I couldn't come up with anything. And every mention I've seen of treating PID involved antibiotics which means that, at least for now, medical professionals have no reason to suspect that pelvic inflammatory disease could be tied to something viral. I also didn't see any mention of PID not responding to antibiotic treatment which, again, points to something bacterial and not viral.

So, in short, I'm not going to give a definite "no" because I'm not a doctor or a researcher, but I think the chances are slim to none. What probably happened in your friends case is that his girlfriend had been developing symptoms of PID for awhile before she got the Gardasil shots. Then, after receiving the vaccination, her PID was diagnosed which led him to blame the vaccine.

This is why it's important to remember that correlation does not mean causation. Two things can happen at the same time without actually be linked together or with one thing causes or being an effect of the other.
