Reply #25: Well, I think it's human nature..

to want to avoid potential negative consequences in the near future as a trade for potential negative consequences in the distant future. If you don't want to have your daughter vaccinated with it for that reason, then who am I to criticise?

That, however, is not the reason why I have been criticising these anti-vaccine threads. Misunderstanding of the trials, mischaracterizations of the VAERS database, and general fear mongering have been why I and others participate.

The problem with gels and whatnot is that they have to be applied every time - whereas a vaccine doesn't. Also, CC may be treatable here where people generally have access to medical care, but that doesn't seem to be as true where mortality from CC is much higher (as I noted, it kills a little over a quarter million women yearly, mostly in underdeveloped countries).

And who has been using their "talking points & PR $"?
