This week school started injecting it's 14 year old girls with the Cervical Cancer jab...en masse...and my heart died a little bit more, not only because they have no real idea what this jab will do, its side-effects on children so young, but because cervial cancer is so on the increase in youngsters, because they are having sex when their bodies aren't ready for it, let alone their minds...

The vaccine is being offered at that age (actually 12/13 year olds) because the girls ARE UNLIKELY TO BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE YET, NOT because they are LIKELY to be having sex - the vaccine will be most effective for girls who are not yet sexually active.

It is NOT because cervical cancer is on the increase in youngsters, it is because having the vaccine before they become sexually active will prevent women developing the disease in ADULTHOOD.

Apart from that everything you wrote was true.

And note, I am not attacking you - but what you write. That's why I quote it in italics.

But take it personally if you feel it helps you.
