Cervical cancer is met with a vaccine with both pros and cons to suppress and annihilate it indefinitely. Although both Mike Adams and Arthur Allen inform the audience of the HPV vaccine, Adams vigorously argues, without evidence, that the vaccine is dangerous to humans while Allen is more sedate and discusses opposing sides to the vaccine. The HPV vaccine has its pros and cons to people that it has created debates to come down to the conclusion of a better solution for the drug companies and the people forcing to receive it. Though the HPV vaccine promises to cure cervical cancer, it has received its fair share of criticism.
Adams argues that “ The vaccine is absolutely worthless as a medical treatment” and “ the so-called ‘science’ supporting the vaccine as the only prevention for cervical cancer is an outright fraud”. He explains that the people receiving the vaccine are being fooled by people working in the medical field that say the vaccine is by no means dangerous and persuades the audience that this is all a scam. One way to get his point across, Adams states that the vaccine has harmful substances and will cause harm, especially to young women. In Adams’ opinion cervical cancer can be dispersed from the human body permanently by multiple ways like receiving “adequate sunlight exposure and vitamin D consumption” along with other various methods. His belief also suggests that the drug companies and anyone who is affiliated with mandating the vaccine is corrupt and only care about money.
The HPV vaccine needs to generate money to actually sustain itself in the market. A conspiracy was made implying that the vaccine had a “dirty money connection” with the drug company Merck and Texas governor Rick Perry mandating the HPV vacc...

...oval of drug companies and a few people, it shouldn’t be made mandatory until it has received a good amount of support. It also needs a profit to survive, otherwise it risk being diminished. It needs time before considering to be mandatory. That won’t be in the future though when people band together and approve the vaccine.
This debate is met with both audiences and is being met with improvements of the vaccine but is not quite present to receive the support of many to become mandatory. It does amazing things but its support and its achievements that were made aren’t big. If the government had the money to pay its price or just give it to the states to make it free is good and would actually progress its process of it becoming a mandating vaccine. What should be done as of now is to inform many more people of the situation so that it can receive proper attention.
Human papilloma virus is today’s most common sexually transmitted infection and reamins uncurable at this time. About 79 million individuals in the United States are currently infected with HPV; around 14 million individuals will become newly infected with HPV each year. As of early 2012, one preventative measure against HPV is a vaccine given in three shots over six months, recommended for both male and female children at the age of 11 or 12. While the HPV vaccine is not mandated at this time, many individuals have openly expressed their opinions about the possibility. A man by the name of Mike Adams wrote an article for the NaturalNews website in February of 2007 titled “HPV Vaccine Texas Tyranny” explaining his apprehensions for the possible mandation of the HPV vaccine. Correspondingly, Arthur Allen wrote “The HPV Debate Needs an Injection of Reality” for the Washington Post in April of 2007 to convey his standpoint on the topic. While both Adams and Allen agree that the HPV vaccination lacks credibility, track record, and substantiation of long term safety, Adams argues that the HPV vaccine should never be mandated, while Allen believes the vaccine could be sucessfully mandated in the future if civic observations advance over time.
He received a tremendous amount of support from several doctors and citizens hoping to prevent cancer growth in their children- the future generation. Several studies have shown that the vaccine itself is harmless, with few reports of mild side effects ( National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, 2015). It would protect the lives of millions of children long before exposure to HPV. Parents who supported governor Rick Perry’s order reinforced the vaccine and the numerous amount of benefits it would provide for young girls and the cost efficiency. HPV vaccines would be available to millions of families in the United States through organizations, such as Vaccines for Children, who provide vaccines at a lower cost, if not free, or coverage by personal insurance (Bassett, 2011). For these parents, the benefits human papillomavirus vaccines have outweighed any risks that may come as a result, and there is nothing wrong about caring for the wellbeing of their daughters. A majority of individuals who support Rick Perry’s decision wholeheartedly believe this is the best option to further protect the lives of those who might affected by the sexually transmitted viruses. However, other people express different opinions and concerns regarding the decision, as expected from a country that allows freedom in beliefs and opinions. It is not to say that one group is right, or one group is wrong, simply that each individual thinks differently and will not always agree on the same
The unforgettable story of vaccines is a story of triumph and controversy. The saddest part of the story is persistent ignorance and a lack of education, comingled with the personal need of some parents to explain away the problems of their children, have caused the controversy to arise. The good news is that the triumphant reality of vaccines as a whole is still the larger enduring legacy. The human papillomavirus vaccine is not an exception to this rule; in fact despite all the controversy surrounding the vaccine, it is one of medicine’s greatest lifesaving gifts to us.
Most people know what vaccines are and have received them during our childhood years; but past that knowledge, most people do not think much about vaccines until we have children of our own. Some parents are more skeptical than others on the topic of vaccinations, but most parents choose this preventative measure in protecting their children from harmful diseases. However, in the case of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, there is quite a controversy as to if it is appropriate to administer the vaccine to pre-teen to teenage children. Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually-transmitted infection in the United States; an estimated 14 million persons are newly infected every year (Satterwhite,
Offit, P. (2011). Deadly choices: how the anti-vaccine movement threatens us all. New York, NY: Basic Books.
There are numerous of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that are spread across the United States yearly. According to the Office on Women’s Health, In the United States about 19 million new infections are occurred each year that affects men and women of all backgrounds and economic levels. Though there’s a number of many different STIs, human papillomavirus (HPV) is a most common STI that can develop into 40 different types which can affect the genital area of men and women (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). Mandating the HPV vaccine for the chance of eliminating cervical cancer is a great idea, however it is not sufficient enough to be positioned as a necessity that would violate individuals’ autonomy as well as penetrating the cost of the vaccination on individuals. Ethics in vaccines can be very delicate being that it often violates one right and/or interfere with philosophical/religious beliefs. There’s has been great controversy in regards to mandating the HPV vaccine and in the midst presenting ethical concerns.
Thesis: There are many misconceptions regarding the safety of vaccines but the reality of the issue is that if we stopped giving our children vaccines it would not only negatively impact the health of our children now but future generations.

Vaccinations have been very helpful for all ages of people over many centuries. Vaccinations help protect us from infectious diseases. Most people believe in medicine because it improves people’s health. The first vaccination was performed by Edward Jenner in 1796 stated in the article, “The History of Vaccines And Immunization: Familiar Patterns, New Challenges.” (Stern and Markel n. pag.) Vaccinations have improved tremendously since that time frame. Many people do not believe in vaccinations due to personal opinions like religion or the small effects. Vaccinating should be mandatory for all humans around the world due to the effects, or even death of a infectious diseases. Diseases can be very dangerous for humans to come in contact with. Vaccinations can help prevent people from getting infectious diseases, or even spreading the disease to someone else. Many people do not care about others, when not getting immunizations. People need to have a bigger perspective, when it comes down to yours and others health. Immunizations should be mandatory, no matter what people voice about them. Vaccinations may have downfalls to it like the actual feeling of the shot or side
Vaccinations are a particular type of disease preventer with a lot flaws. Vaccines should be non-compulsory. people should have a choice if they want to inject their children with an inactive disease that's up to them. No medicine is perfect most of the time vaccines have had a positive outcome on the majority of the world’s population that have had vaccines. Although the percentage of incidents are low they can still be serious. People say vaccines can lead to autism and other symptoms.
After watching The Vaccine War, the main concerns of vaccines are public safety, the aftermath of injecting harmful chemicals into ones’ body and the parents that choose not to vaccinate their children. In the beginning of the documentary, a mother, Jennifer Margulis, states she felt like it was not needed for her newborn child to be vaccinated for a sexual transmitted disease. She feels like the ingredients are scary for a young child to take in with an immature immune system. The other issue is a massive outbreak of disease that could have been prevented. The Center of Disease Control is carefully watching the town that Ms. Margulis lives, Ashland, Oregon, because it’s the least vaccinated places in America due to parents opting out of vaccines.
Vaccines are a big controversy in the modern world. Many people are for vaccines, many people are against vaccines. Some people don’t even care about vaccines. Vaccines are definitely something to be concerned about. A vaccine can have serious side effects, some of which include death or disability. This is why I stand firmly resolved, vaccines should NOT be required for
HPV vaccine is PREVENTION against cervical cancer, genital warts and infertility. MORE reasons to get VACCINATED!!
By relinquishing the right of adults to choose whether they get vaccinated or not, the government is devaluing the individual, in essence, the government is putting the collective ahead of the group, this concept is a key foundation in democratic centralism, better known as Communism. Individual rights was a huge basis on the foundation of the US(US Constitution), denying the rights of the individuals to chooses whether they get or not, breaks this foundation(Darrell). Requiring vaccination also brings many issues into play, such as making the time to take all the vaccinations, and many vaccinations can’t be taken all at once, and this results in them breaking their normal schedule. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a former ophthalmologist, agrees while vaccines are a wondrous thing, but freedom should not be compromised in the sake of universal vaccination(Rand
A beautiful, perfectly healthy baby is delivered into the world, only to be poked and prodded with needles just minutes upon its arrival, in the name of protection. Parents are practically forced to give their children all of the latest and greatest vaccinations without any other options. I believe that most vaccines are unnecessary, and it should be entirely up to the individual to make the decision on whether or not to be vaccinated. They should never be mandatory for any reason because it is your choice to decide what goes into your body, and your choice alone.
