"One mother said after her daughter had the vaccine, it caused side effects so dire that it not only affected her health, but it changed her life.

"It was easy to be her mother. She was an excellent student, straight As. She's a musician. She plays guitar," Tracie Moorman said about her daughter, Maddie Moorman.

After Maddie Moorman received the vaccine, she had debilitating migraine headaches, nausea, insomnia and difficulties processing information, something she calls "brain chaos."

"Everything is just kind of foggy. I'm always in a little bit of a muggy state where my head hurts," Maddie Moorman said.

1. This proves nothing.

Just because one thing follows another does not mean the earlier thing caused the later. Nothing in this article proves anything. For all we know, the day after the vaccine, the daughter overdosed on crack and that's what's causing the problem. That's only hypothetical, of course. This article isn't even a good basic description of the symptoms of whatever is ailing her, let alone prove the vaccine caused it.

3. and people have reactions to medicines every day

just because one person had a reaction doesn't mean that others will

5. While I agree that what is reported is correlation, not causation

there are a lot of symptoms of very serious conditions that are hard to describe. The illness my daughter has - which will ultimately require a liver transplant - has the same kinds of early symptoms. They are labeled slightly differently by people who experience them. But usually in very vague terms like malaise, brain fog, or just not feeling right.

13. Very sorry to hear your daughter is sick...

...and I can only hope the docs get to the bottom of it. When I had those symptoms, we discovered that it was caused by sleep apnea. Your daughter's condition sounds worse, if she needs a transplant . I hope she gets better.

Do you have any real reason to think the HPV vaccine caused it?

2. And people wonder why some parents dont want to get this for their kids?

9. The sad news is that there will be

Very rare circumstances when a vaccine might cause side effects. I'm not saying this is one of those situations, because there isn't enough information.

Her doctor needs to work on this and see if she has been injured by this vaccine, or if something else is wrong.

11. Antivac woo bullshit.

Thanks for the re-emergence of whooping cough as a pubic health issue. What other good deeds do you have in mind?

The findings suggest that Australia’s program, which has experienced little of the resistance that has stymied vaccination efforts in the United States, has been an overwhelming success, said Basil Donovan, an author of the study and a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.

As part of the new research, which was published in BMJ, a British medical journal, Dr. Donovan and colleagues compared rates of HPV-related diseases in the three years before the vaccine program began and in the four years afterward. The study included data on nearly 86,000 people who visited clinics in Australia between 2004 and 2011.

The researchers found that diagnoses of genital warts among young women ages 12 to 26 plummeted 59 percent in the two years after the program began. For men in the same age group, genital warts cases dropped 39 percent. During the same period, there was also a striking decline in the rate of high-grade cervical abnormalities in teenage girls, a sign that a decline in cervical cancer cases may be on the horizon.

12. Millions of girls and women in Europe have gotten it.

Haven't heard of a single problem.

14. Remember that HPV causes cervical cancer, which is not usually detected until too late.

So even if this vague story actually has something to do with the vaccine, deciding not to get it is not risk-free.
