The mammogram article made me angry because mammograms are so easy to get (as in you can just go in and get one and there isn't any preparation needed), saves so many lives, and is being cut back. The second article made me less mad, mostly because I've heard both sides of the argument for/against HPV vaccines before. If I was a mother, getting my daughter the vaccine would be a no-brainer, if she can avoid cancer and/or STIs in the future because of this vaccine I'm going to get it for her. The whole issue of the vaccine contradicting abstinence (promoting promiscuity), is ludicrous to me. However, I think the argument that our children are receiving too many vaccines is interesting. I think this is something a lot of people in Europe feel. I learned this from experience because when I was living in London and got a H1N1 flu shot (via an american military base), a lot of people kind of rolled their eyes and said 'you americans are always so cautious'. But again, I think vaccines save lives so it would take a lot to convince me against them.
