Would you get the Gardasil vax for your daughter?
After reading Cindy Billhartz’s story about the increased risk of contracting oral cancer by having oral sex, I revisited my whole discomfort with the Gardasil vaccination for young girls and women.
While vaccinations have undoubtedly saved millions of lives and stopped the spread of horrible diseases, I do think we’ve swung a little too far in mandating so many vaccinations. Gardasil is not required by law and it does not guarantee immunity against cervical or oral cancer. It reduces the risk for contracting the virus which can lead to these cancers.
I do think health teachers should point out the possible health risks of oral sex since too many young people believe it is “not really sex,” and are way too casual about it. This story should be required reading for middle schoolers!
Aisha covered education and breaking news for nearly ten years before joining the Lifestyle staff where she writes a "Dirty Laundry" parenting column. She is the home and family editor and wastes too much time on Facebook and political blogs. 
“not really sex” Is there any other statement that tells you how stupid this person is? This is part of the results for not requiring your child to earn what they get. They want it now, and they get it now. They’re happy now, and they’ll regret it later (after their cancer appears or their looks go south, and they have no depth to their relationship with their partner(s)).
