Connie Roux's Arguments Against The HPV Vaccine

Decent Essays
By looking through the two newspaper articles, I found out that Connie Roux has against the HPV vaccine because in the article, she states that there are 89 deaths, 20,575 adverse reactions, and 352 reports of abnormal pap smears of post vaccine. She also claimed that this vaccine has devastated the lives of young girls. To support her claim, she wants us to check out the NVIC website. On the other side, Mary Severinghaus seem to prove that Roux was wrong. She states that NVIC website is only for the anti-vaccination organization. She also named several people who failed the knowledge of the vaccine.
While I was looking at the NVIC website, I cannot find Roux’s claim of “there are 89 deaths, 20,575 adverse reactions, and 352 reports of adormal

    Due to the HeLa cell line doctors could determine what precancerous cells looked like by performing pap smears on women. These cells affected the vast majority of women who can now receive the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine reduces their chances of contracting most cervical cancers.

    Once again this is covered above in “how does the HPV vaccine work?” One of the biggest biological implications associated with other vaccines is whether a virus with a different genome will replace that which is vaccinated against. This is very common in influenza where new flu vaccines are needed each year to combat the new flu. The chances of a different genome replacing HPV types 16 and 18 as the leading cause of cervical cancer is considered very unlikely. This is beneficial as vaccinating for any virus without the intention of eradicating it runs the risk that it mutates and forms a super virus which spreads and is unaffected by the vaccine.…

    There has been a great debate on vaccination. For individuals against the vaccination, there is dependency on herd immunity, which is the belief that having a large percentage of the population vaccinated, that the spread of certain diseases can be stopped, thus protecting the unvaccinated individuals (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2015, p. 196). The vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) are given together in a single dose at ages 12-15 months and then again at 4-6 years. While vaccination has changed the face of medicine, there have been rare, adverse effects of the live-virus MMR vaccination such as fever and febrile seizures (Feenstra, Pasternak, Geller, Carstensen, Wang, et al. 2014). After receiving the initial vaccination around 14…

    There are many different arguments coming from people from both sides of the debate on whether or not girls and boys should receive this vaccine and like all arguments some are more compelling than others. Some of these arguments come from Doctors and others come from the parents. According to the article from Dr. Jennifer Ashton with the argument against the HPV vaccination, brings up that there are many other doctors who strongly believe the recommended age to receive the vaccine of 11 to 13 years old for girls is too young. There are many serious and uncommon reactions in teens having been reported after receiving this vaccine, which is causing more of a concern. “More than 23 million doses of the vaccine have been given to date, there have been 770 adverse effects and 32 deaths.”…

    I have shown that the HPV-16 and HPV-18 types cause around 70% of cervical cancer and HPV-6 and HPV-11 cause the majority of genital warts and this is what the vaccine protects against. I have detailed how the vaccine is created and how it does not contain the HPV virus itself therefore does not create a risk of infecting the recipient. I have discussed the history of the vaccine and who it is administered to. I have also discussed possibilities in the future to increase the number of people receiving the vaccine to boys as well as…

    However vaccination do not have any bad effect on a person who already have the infection. The national cancer institute mentions, “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved three vaccines to prevent HPV infection: Gardasil, Gardasil9, Cervarix.” These vaccines protect the body against new HPV disease, but they will not treat any kind of HPV infections (3).
