Insist on Informed Consent Before Being Vaccinated

To promote HPV vaccinations the CDC produced a commercial called "Close the Door to Cancer" which uses creepy subliminal tactics. Over-sinister music and a smoke monster climbing on walls, the CDC lists HPV statistics aimed to scare the public toward the vaccine.
The statistics actually show that an incredibly small amount of people are affected to warrant such a drastic vaccination campaign. According to the claims in the CDC video 14 million Americans get HPV, or about 4.5 percent of the entire population. Apparently that means it's "common" to the CDC.

Of those 14 million, 26 thousand may get an "HPV-related" cancer. So, quick math, that's only about .185 percent of the HPV population, or .008 percent of the overall population. The vaccine is not without side effects: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/20/does-gardasil-actually-increase-your-risk-of-cervical-cancer.aspx

I agree X. More drug pushing by the pharmaceutical companies. Even with vaccines 30,000 to 40,000 people die form the flu each year while 40,000 people die in motor vehicle accidents. This is just another huge promotion to scare people into buying their product.

Streeter, you posted before I was able to edit the video, so you didn't see how I framed the video in this instance in my own 'wack' way.  Vaccinations should always be researched as to their effectiveness, need, peer reviews, and side effects.  Many are arguably more dangerous than not having the vaccination. 

The subliminal message the drug company uses here is not very subtle, in order for you to get your child a vaccination they may not even need.  Their business is to sell their product, not alert the consumer to the risks involved.  If you do the research, you can make an informed decision as to whether the vaccine is applicable for your kid or not.  If your kid is not going to be sleeping around with other kids that sleep around, the risks of getting the vaccine outweigh any benefits, IMHO.
