It’s Official: HPV Vaccine Doesn’t Turn Teens Into Monsters

ziyadmd:

New research today from the Department of Oh My God Why Does This Study Have To Exist — turns out, vaccinating teenage girls against HPV won’t cause them to go from innocent children drawing pictures of flowers with crayons to unstoppable sexzillas. Sort of like how wearing seatbelts doesn’t cause car accidents, or how wearing sunscreen doesn’t cause skin cancer. But will the study convince reticent parents to abandon their ass-backwards logic and actually acknowledge that their daughters’ sexuality will someday exist?

The study, published today in the journal Pediatrics, showed that there was no evidence that girls who are given the Gardasil vaccine against HPV respond by going out and hopping on the nearest guy. Instead, girls who receive the vaccine have similar sexual trajectories to their unvaccinated peers — except the girls who are vaccinated get the bonus of being protected from a deadly and preventable form of cancer when they do have sex.

i know this was talked about, but was this an actual worry?

seriously, was someone out there concerned that one thing keeping young women from becoming sex-crazed man-eaters was a cancer vaccine?

all in all, an interesting study on social behavior of those who have concern for future sexual health versus those who may not.
