Default HPV vaccine " a great big public health experiment,"

Researcher blasts HPV marketing
http://www.kpcnews.com/articles/2007...cine/hpv01.txt

BY CINDY BEVINGTON
LEBANON, N.H. -- A lead researcher who spent 20 years developing the
vaccine for humanpapilloma virus says the HPV vaccine is not for
younger girls, and that it is "silly" for states to be mandating it
for them.

Not only that, she says it's not been tested for effectiveness in
younger girls, and administering the vaccine to girls as young as 9
may not even protect them at all. And, in the worst-case scenario,
instead of serving to reduce the numbers of cervical cancers within 25
years, such a vaccination crusade actually could cause the numbers to
go up.

"Giving it to 11-year-olds is a great big public health experiment,"
said Diane M. Harper, who is a scientist, physician, professor and the
director of the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group at the
Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth Medical School in New
Hampshire

"It is silly to mandate vaccination of 11- to 12-year-old girls There
also is not enough evidence gathered on side effects to know that
safety is not an issue."

Internationally recognized as a pioneer in the field, Harper has been
studying HPV and a possible vaccine for several of the more than 100
strains of HPV for 20 years - most of her adult life............

Wow, March 14, and already posted anyway.

Thanks for the bulletin, Vince. Real cutting-edge stuff.
