Its not that I think the vaccination is a bad idea. Like I said, I dont really have an oppinion about using it. The thing that bothers me about it I guess is the spin. It would bother me no matter what the subject matter is.
I do wish it werent a concern for 11 year olds. That makes me sad. Not disgusted or angry or indignant or morally outraged, just sad. Life is just really complex and the repercussions of choices people make are intense, and I wish that this specific weight wasnt one that 11 year olds had to grapple with.
I just dont like the spin. And I dont like knowing that people I care about are hurt, or are likely to be hurt, by decisions and choices they made or are making, with more spin than real information.
The simple truth is that there is one way to stay safe from this stuff. And it is possible. I think thats what kids need to hear. Not that there is a "cancer vaccene" out there now, and this stuf isnt that dangerous anymore thanks to modern medicine and the right saftey measures. Its not safe. Not remotely. And people get badly hurt. And that makes me sad.
Anyway, I didnt mean to offend. I just dont like the spin.
