Gardasil: Should it be Mandatory? A Rhetorical Critique According to the Center for Menstrual Disorders and Reproductive Choice, 75-80% of sexually active adults will acquire a genital tract HPV infection before the age of fifty (STD 's: Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the most frequently sexually transmitted disease with more than six million cases being reported each year.

My view point After researching about the HPV vaccine and everything that relates to it, as well as looking into two quite different perspectives I have made a final decision relating to my original question. I believe in all honesty that the Gardasil vaccine should not be made compulsory, however those who do want it should get it done at an early age.

As previously stated, all we have is a hypothetical theory with no evidence that clearly says it will eventually help in the prevention of cervical cancer. As a result, physicians are pushing the vaccine onto the patients and their parents, badgering and urging them into something they don’t feel one-hundred percent about. “Alarmingly, the Big Pharma-influenced FDA approved both Gardasil and Cervarix without requiring either Merck or GlaxeSmithKline to prove their claims of cervical cancer…

Infection Prevention, postulates a number of lines of evidence that support the risk of transmission in the clinical setting. First, “that HPV is resistant to desiccation and can remain infectious when exposed to a typical dry room environment for a number of days; HPV DNA has been detected on the fingers of individuals with an active infection, showing that infected patients can carry the virus on their hands and act as a source of infectious virions, and there is evidence that HPV can be…

Question 1: The Gardasil vaccine is an injection that prevents certain strains of HPV including: 6, 11, 16 and 18.

Human papillomavirus, also known as HPV, is the cause of many cases of cervical and genital cancer in both men and women. Although this is a known fact, many parents are still neglecting the idea of giving their children a “sex vaccine.” This controversy not only defies the teachings of religion, but it also defies the beliefs of parenthood. They don’t feel like this is something that they should be giving their 9-13 year old children. This perspective may be a given, but it is also creating a…
