Same here. When my pediatrician started pushing this for my daughter, I questioned him about it - Are you going to give it to YOUR daughter (who was a couple of years younger than mine) when she's old enough? Answer: "I don't' know. Probably." I don't know why, but something inside me said "hell no." I figured it would make her sterile in some way. Perhaps I had read something back then that put that idea in my head. And also, as a parent, you just kind of hope your child just stays celibate , lol.
I remember a few kids dying from it early on.. having seizures almost immediately. Never set right w me as it seemed to green light promiscuity w those who got it. Best way to not get HPV HIV or pregnant is abstaining from sex. Which is what we should be furthering w our children. Plenty of time for bumping uglies later.
