Who's Afraid of HPV - live webcast

[1Timothy115]

Sorry, journalists only to hear what your tax dollars are being spent for. (maybe some could use their church bulletin credentials to attend) Shhh! They know journalists will give us the information they think we need to have and of course we're not intelligent enough to understand anyway!

New Findings Shed Light on Who's Afraid of HPV

January 7, 2010

The "cultural cognition thesis" argues that individuals form risk perceptions based on often-contested personal views about what makes a good society. But what does it reveal about people's views regarding one of the most hotly debated health care proposals in recent years: vaccinating elementary-school girls, ages 11-12, against human papillomavirus (HPV), a widespread sexually transmitted disease?

Join the National Science Foundation for a live webcast as Yale University law professor Dan Kahan discusses new details of an experimental study that asks the following questions: Who fears the HPV vaccine, who doesn't and why? The webcast is embargoed until the research findings are published online in a major peer-reviewed journal on Jan. 13.

you know what their conclusion going to be. It's almost like predictable to know what their conclusion is going to be.

[His by Grace]

The wording of their question is already leading you to answer in a certain way. "Who FEARS...?"

These people are TOTALLY annoying. Someone needs to stand up and just admit that the HPV vaccination is nothing but a "lifestyle" vaccination and that HPV is PREVENTABLE through purity; therefore our family has rejected this vaccination based on principle. Not only that, the medical community needs to come clean about all the facts surrounding this vaccination as well. It is NOT a guarantee that someone will not get HPV or cervical cancer! They are giving a false security to young ladies to sin and not think that they may not pay a price for it. Look at these facts, and see if you see some "holes" in their thinking.

High risk strains may cause changes in a Pap smear which may rarely progress to cancer. There are approximately 13 high-risk strains of HPV, of which two (16 & 18) are believed to cause about 70% of all cervical cancer.

Low risk strains sometimes cause changes in a Pap smear, but do not progress to cancer. Of the low-risk strains, two (6 &11) are most likely to cause genital warts.

.....and this.....

Interviews of more than 1,500 U.S. adults reveal that individuals who favor authority and other traditional values and who are likely to see the HPV vaccine as condoning premarital sex perceive the vaccine as risky. Individuals who strongly support gender equality and government involvement in basic health care are more likely to see the vaccine as low risk and high benefit.

I would really like to see the questions asked to derive the above conclusion.

The Cultural Cognition Project is one of those sites I intend to keep an eye on. I'll subscribe to their updates to see what they are up to.

It seem that anything that disagree with liberals is going to be part of their cultural study. Why don't they study themselves.
