load of bollocks...... cos your risk of cervical cancer rises the more prtners you have, they think girls who have it will think 'yeah now i cn go and shag as many guys as i want and i wont get cervical cancer'
which is totally crap as how many people....adolescents or mature people KNOW or are aware of the HPPV and class it as an std??
not many im betting, so i dont see how it will lead to promiscuity......certainly not more than handing out condoms with the afternoon snack IMHO
Oh ffs this is rediculous. These girls (and boys) are going to carry on having sex anyway. If the vaccine will stop them dying because of it......
The government has seen fit to stop cervical cancer screening for under 20's because it is 'very rare in women below that age' (read - too expensive)
Bollocks! Excuse my French. I was 18 when I was diagnosed with stage 2(A) Cervical Cancer and had I not been screened then would probably be dead by now. Theres every possibility it was down to my own promiscuity but no one taught about the dangers of HPV back then (i'm talking 10 years ago - not the dark ages either) If they aren't going to educate then they damn well need to do something to stop it.
I went through 3 rounds of treatment over 3 years and 3 times was told it was back. I was weeks away from Radiotherapy before I was given the all clear. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
This school wants closing down with an attitude like this. Quite frankly to me, it's tantamount to manslaughter

People under 30 (unless directly affected by cancer) have bugger all idea of the implications of it.
Kids under 20 are absolutely convinced they are immortal. The concept of risking cervical cancer from sex - in fact of risking anything in many cases - simply doesn't exist for them.
Getting vaccinated would have zero effect on their sexual behaviour.
The school may have an argument about the tested status of the vaccine as they claim (I don't know) but what I believe they are doing is forcing their religious beliefs on their pupils. But since it is a Catholic school, that is exactly what they do every single day. So I can't see what any parent is complaining about. They chose to send the kids to be in that environment. And hard-core Catholics believe that if you stay ignorant you will stay safe. And we all know how well that works.
To be fair, both Catholicism and Islam are religions not races. So I could be accused of religionism, but disagreeing with (or disapproving of) a doctrine is not an ism, it's an opinion. And, as far as I know opinions have not yet been made illegal.
Feel free to correct any details of fact, or to disagree with my opinion. But I am allowed to express an opinion.
