A food and drug administration advisory panel unanimously approved the
immunization called gardasil . It targets hpv which is a sexually
transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer. If granted final
approval, gardasil would become the first vaccine designed to prevent a
specific cancer. The maker of the drug believes it could cut by more
than two-thirds the number of deaths around the world. Cervical cancer
is blamed for killing nearly four-thousand american women a year. Check
out this video about cervical cancer vaccine:

Merck 'claims' the so-called vaccine prevents females  from becoming
infected with the disease. Well... sort of. But in actuality, it is
only effective against 2 strains... maybe.

HOWEVER, these 2 aren't the only ones of the 100+ strains of HPV that
cause cervical cancer. (Yes. They also issue this disclaimer somewhere
in their ad - sort of. But the message left with the listener is
"There's a Cervical Cancer Vaccine", and; therefore, no more reason to
worry about cc.)

A false sense of security has been the cause of the downfall of
nations, so why 'trust' the decision-making powers of one innocent
young girl. (Young women and infants are/will be the target of the big
wave of advertising from Merck, et al and the mandatory vaccine laws
that surely will come.)

So why are the drug companies being allowed to blast the media with
what could be argued to be false or misleading advertisements?

Is it all about the money? What do you think?
