Yes and they will only get worse, much worse, when they start giving 13year old girls the, so-called 'Jab' to allegedly stop 'cervical-cancer'.

At 13 the girl will not fully understand why she was given this 'jab', but will unwittingly think it is safe to have unprotected sex.

Mark my words today! and in 5years time see I am correct!

The 'figures' in the above article will be at least 10 times more "STD" cases.

What nonsense. I remember being given my BCG, but it gave me no sudden urge to go and visit tuberculosis wards.

I have never heard of anybody putting off sex for fear of cervical cancer. (And by the way, unless you don't believe that cervical cancer exists, there's really no need to put it in inverted commas.) If vaccination prevents women dying of cancer, then it's worth it my view. But then I'm morally bankrupt etc etc.

"If vaccination prevents women dying of cancer"

That's one point it ABSOLUTELY does 'NOT PREVENT' Women from dying from Cancer, it may 'help' prevent, but noway Prevents.

Secondly Girls 'of-course' will ask why they are being subjected to this 'jab' unless the are 'chickened brained'

'Of Course' they will think they are 'all-grown-up-now' ("Ive had the jab") and think its safe to have unprotected sex.

That is why old fashioned values are not so stupid after all. It's so very sad. Join the Kirk and teach your kids right from wrong.

agree with #1. also all this sex education has done nothing to help. STDS rise, as do teenage pregnancies and all we get is morning after pills, jabs for cervical cancer free condoms at school etc etc. Perhaps the high rate of booze intake has something to do with it?

Charlie, if things are only going to get worse why have the figures for gonorrhoea dropped?

Why didn't they give the figures for syphilis and the other assorted types of STD's there are? Or is this just the Hootsmon giving half the story, again?

#4 Beth. Are you saying that girls shouldn't be given the opportunity of having the cervical cancer jab?

#4 beth

it is my opinion that the churches are against progress because they want us to live in fear so we turn to the churches for comfort they then pass the plate round for payment.

#4 Beth: I'm sure it works for you but there is no need to be a member of a church to teach the difference between right and wrong.
