Cancer Vaccine Cautions

I think this needs more testing. I would not give this to my daughters. Any vaccine needs to be tried and true, before it should be in the public domain. There could be side effects that show up in the future, or some kind of residual effects that might show up in a different way. I think that drugs should be tested for a longer period of time, before they are marketed. I am talking now about all kinds of medicines. The pharmacutical companies are so eager to market their goods, that they pawn them off on doctors, and then doctors prescribe them to the public. My doctor said that if he was on a desert island, he would be lucky if he had an aspirin, because, it has been around for such a long period of time and it was safe for the most part. There are so many drugs out there that it can be quite confusing. There are labels on many similiar drugs too. You also have to be careful not to take certain meds with others, that may or may not be compatible. Years ago, when they were testing the Hepatitis B vaccine, I would not let my baby girl be in a test group. The doctor was not happy with my choice, but that was too bad. I just did what I though was best at the time.

I wish they would find a cure for cancer. I'm sure they will someday, but I would want those drugs to be repeatedly tested, before I would even think about trying them. There are other chronic diseases like auto-ammune disorders, some of them incurable. They should work on drugs for those diseases too.

We have come a long way in heart disease, we should come a longer way for some of the other deadly illnesses.
