“Ever had HPV, dysplasia or squamous abnormalities? The testing you need if your GP finds any of those on your pap is awful and can feel very degrading. Believe it or not, the HPV shot can and will prevent lots of painful and invasive treatments.” Velo Vixen, in response to http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/why-some-parents-still-wont-give-daughters-the-hpv-vaccine/article4616841/

“The best way to address people concerned about vaccines is NOT to dismiss them as nutters but to address their fears with facts. Instead of just issuing blanket statements like "vaccines are perfectly harmless”[…] admit that there is a risk with every vaccination but the risk of an adverse reaction is, for example 0.01% but the risk of catching whooping cough and dieing (sp) without the vaccine is, for example 10%.” pants7, in response to http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/we-all-need-the-hpv-vaccine/article4375582/

“You teach your daughter to abstain before marriage and maybe she does, or maybe she does have sex, but always uses protection. She gets married and has unprotected sex with her husband. Oops—he had a previous partner and has now infected his wife with HPV and she develops cervical cancer. There is no amount of 'teaching' your child about safe sex that could prevent this from happening. Better to get vaccinated.” Dawn302, in response to http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2012/06/25/calgary-hpv-vaccine-catholic-schools.html

“I fully understand the disease and know that this HPV vaccine only addresses 4 of over 70 types. The fact remains that 90% of women can fight this off on their own within 2 years. My wife had HPV, how come she's not dead or had a hysterectomy? Now if you're asking me if I trust Merck enough to inject some of their crap in my daughter, the answer is no.” justsayno in response to http://www.calgarysun.com/2012/11/28/calgary-catholic-school-district-approves-controversial-hpv-vaccinations

“By giving out Condemns (sp), the pill or this Vaccine gives the idea that the church on one hand preach "save it till your married" while handing this crap out in schools. Makes it a complete contradiction. It suggests "do as we do, not as we say and creates a state of contradiction. Parents bare 100% responsibility for the vaccination of their children. As well individuals bare 100% responsibility for the choices they make.” Jim_knuckles in response to http://www.calgarysun.com/2012/10/15/new-study-prompts-push-for-calgary-catholic-school-board-to-drop-ban-on-hpv-vaccine

“70% of all HPV infections resolve themselves without treatment within a year. Within two years, the number climbs to 90%. Of the remaining 10% of HPV infections, only half will develop into cervical cancer, which leaves little need for the vaccine.” Opinion234, in response to http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/01/25/hpv-vaccine-males-gardasil.html

“OK folks, this is probably simpler than you might think… Who is most responsible and ultimately held accountable for a child's health and safety? That would be the parent or guardian. Definitely not a School Board, a Bishop, a HPV Crusader or a Policy Statement and most certainly not someone from within our checkered Alberta Health Care System. Regardless of how many letters are behind his/her name.” ScottSOT, in response to http://www.calgarysun.com/2012/09/13/hpv-crusaders-set-to-sue-calgarys-catholic-school-board-over-anti-vaccination-stance

“TOTAL LIES AGAIN!! Do your research people before you believe garbage from mainstream media. I see from the posts people are realizing the truths about certain vaccines, you are all spot ON. There are numerous websites giving you the facts about the HPV which we must be aware of, the side effects alone are devastating.~ HEALTH SCIENCES INSTITUTE~ NATURALNEWS.COM~ DR. MERCOLA~ NATURAL SOCIETY~ MOTHER JONES~ INFOWARS.COM~ For the truth about natural cures for many (supposedly) uncureable (sp) diseases.” pegasusXT, in response to http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/we-all-need-the-hpv-vaccine/article4375582/

“And besides, a vaccine cannot replace PROPER SEXUAL EDUCATION, regarless (sp) of your position on vaccines!” Siamese101, in response to http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/2012/04/13/hpv-vaccine-boys.html
