Cervical cancer vaccine reaction in Japan

Japan made cervical cancer vaccine mandatory in 2013, but then suspended it 2 months later due to reports of related health issues. Study shows that Japanese women are reporting reaction to the vaccine over 10 times as great as the U.S.

    Japan has just contributed to the vaccine rejection problem — this sounds a lot like the Rick Perry problem down in Texas.

    Politicians don’t seem to know when enough is enough. Vaccinations in school should only include those things that are highly communicable within the classroom.

    A doctor caused the problem with the MMR vaccine in England because it turned out his “study” was a fraud. A journal didn’t catch it before it was published.

    One time, I read a speculative paper from MIT. It seems some vaccines *might* cause a problem in the genetically susceptible by triggering a cascade reaction; by tweaking the immune system, some vitamin stores might be drawn down unacceptably.

    A doctor told me he’d had a severe arthritic reaction to the Hepatitis B vaccine. Now, doctors are a legitimate risk group — it’s upsetting that school systems require this one for children. It is NOT easy to get unless you’re violating “H&S rules”, as the police would say.
