Re:What the Gardasil Testing May Have Missed

The probability of getting HPV infection is very low. The probability of developing cancer given an existing HPV infection is very low. Very low x very low = extremely low.
There is no value in vaccinating every single child in the US for something that has an extremely low chance of occurring. That is the evil part of their plan, to force every child to get this vaccine. If sexually active people want to get the HPV vaccine, all the power to them, it's the forced nature that makes me angry.
The CDC says:
"HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women get the virus at some point in their lives."

I know people that if they were vaccinated against HPV like I am, they wouldn’t have needed anal cancer treatment.
It seems worth it to me.
