Gardasil

I’m against this vaccine. You should know this upfront. If you’re a parent reading this, please know that I am providing links to the “official” pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, as well as links to other websites that might not be in complete agreement with government agendas or the pharmaceutical bottom-line regarding this vaccine. I do this because parents need balanced information and opinions.

Doing all you can for your child does not mean saying “How high?” when Big Pharmaceutical says “Jump!”. Nor does it mean following the crowd, or jumping on the bandwagon. Doing all you can for your child means getting informed and learning to read between the lines, to err on the side of caution, to trust your instinct.

I’ve noticed that people search for information on Gardasil and have found their way to me and to the posts I have done on the subject. So I thought I would round up all the information I had on my blog regarding Gardasil under this page and under a category. As information becomes available, I’ll be adding to this page.

Knowledge is power.

The following are links to posts I’ve written on this blog about Gardasil. They contain links to information as well as to media articles written on the subject.
