• I have been doing alot of research online on the HPV vaccine because I have a daughter who is 10 and want all the information I can get before I jump on the Gardasil bandwagon. I was alarmed by what I saw. There have been very serious side effects that I don't want to risk on my daughter.  It seems that the number of serious side effects far outweighs the number of cervical cancers women die of each year! Does that make any sense to anyone? I think someone is making ALOT of money from this particular vaccine. The fact that some idiots want to make this mandatory is the scariest part for me. Who does the Merck have in their pocket?
