What is the source of your information?
I don't doubt that some people will have adverse reactions to immunizations. For most of these vaccinations, the disease is far worse and affects far more people than the adverse affects.
I sure wish gardisal was around when I was young.

I have spent most of the last year working with the BMGF on an internal human resources project, and I cannot overemphasize how much good work they are doing around the world.
Here's a recent article about Gates' REAL beliefs about vaccines and which vaccines he supports and why.

People should make their own informed decisions. We've both posted sources we believe. Let's leave it at that.

I'll ignore most of what you say even though I don't agree with it, but I can't let this go.
Most of the HPV strains DO NOT cause cancer so your claim that they do is just plain wrong. The vast majority of cervical cancers are caused by HPVs 16 and 18 which are two that are vaccinated against.

So if we use your statistic, that makes this vaccine even more egregious because the risk of cervical cancer from it is very small but the risk of damage from the vaccine is tremendous. That means that this vaccine covers just 30% of those 13 possible cancer causing strains. If I got 30% on anything in school, it'd be a flunk. And so is this vaccine.

I didn't write this at all. You have doctored it. I quoted you saying that there are 94 strains of HPV. Changing a quote is bad netiquette and is hardly fair as it may put any response out of context.
No - if you go back it says I edited my original quote to correct it to 13 strains. I did not doctor anything. I was correcting it and noted that I correct it so others would know. So before you accuse, check what it actually says. You'll note it says it's *my* quote, not yours. Check the names.

My statistic says that the vast majority of cervical cancers are caused by two strains which can be vaccinated against. My logic then says that that means that the vast majority of cervical cancers can be avoided. I'd think that with your argument you'd get less than 30% at logic so you're argument is a definite fail.
