You've misread that information. Please review it closely again. That's not at all what it says. It says that two-thirds (of the reported group, which is admittedly small because these are voluntarily reported events) required additional medical care, not that they reported problems in their everyday lives. They required additional care because they had site reactions such as numbness, tingling, injection soreness, etc.; because they fainted, which happens frequently to people getting injections; and possibly because a small amount have had neurological responses, many apparently because they got more than one vaccination at the same time, which makes it impossible to conclude that it was the Gardasil that caused the problem.

Personally I have choosen to stop all vaccinations to my child(2years old). Often many people have allergic reations to vaccinations and actuaqlly end up contracting the virus they are being vaccinated against. My daughter caught measels from he MMR vaccination. Ultimately all vaccinations create are super bugs that wipe out vast numbers of the population instaed of a small portion.

So long as your daughter practices safe sex and uses a condom she will not contract HPV. And just because you have HPV doesn't mean you will get cervicle cancer. Cervicle cancer rates are relitively low and regular Pap smears still remain the best prevention.

Do not vaccinate your daughters! They can make their own choice when they are 18, until then they should use a condom every time anyways, it is only six more years to wait.
This post is full of dangerous misinformation. Some facts it's important to correct:
  • The vaccine only protects against four HPV strains, but those are the strains responsible for nearly 3/4 of cervical cancers. So it protects against the majority of cervical cancers.
  • Vaccines don't create superbugs. They don't cause superbugs. Superbugs are something else entirely, like methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria, which doesn't have anything to do with vaccines. Superbugs are likely caused by antibiotic overuse and the fact that people don't finish all their antibiotics when they're prescribed.
  • Vaccines do not wipe out vast numbers of any population. They've saved vast numbers of lives. Literally millions.
  • Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women. Not as common as colon cancer, lung cancer (or heart disease), but it still affects tens of thousands of women's lives a year. Easily enough to merit the development and use of a vaccine.
  • Pap smears don't prevent HPV or cancer. They detect it. Big difference.
  • True, HPV doesn't necessarily guarantee cervical cancer. Cervical cancer doesn't show up usually till middle age. But it makes it a heck of a lot more likely than if you didn't contract HPV disease all, and there are other HPV diseases like the warts themselves that cause other problems and so should be prevented against.
  • Safe sex and a condom don't protect against HPV. Not by a long shot. As Katyowns said, the spread of HPV doesn't depend on penetration.
  • Mainstream practitioners feel strongly that informed parents should vaccinate their daughters. The problem with letting girls wait till they're 18 and make their own choice about the HPV vaccination is that, for many of them, that's too late. HPV is rampant among the middle- and high-school aged kids. Statistically, girls are much more likely to have already been exposed to HPV by the time they're 18 than if they were vaccinated before they begin dating, petting, etc., which is why the 12 - 13 window is key.

People should talk to their doctors about vaccinations if they have questions, especially if there's a chance you could be the victims of anti-vaccine fear-mongering misinformation.
