“It’s not all her fault.” It is not AT ALL her fault. Perhaps you just made a typo and forgot that word, but the way it is written now, one could read what you wrote as saying a woman does have some responsibility for a rape depending on how she dresses. She does not. A woman could be walking down the street in a 2 piece bikini, and it would not be her fault if she got raped. Period.
Sorry
I cannot offer any expertise with respect to this. I have not come across anything to this effect, so I cannot say with any confidence that this is true - or that it is untrue.
To inject someone with a virus in order to do that person good is the same logic as doing something evil for good to result…which is directly against the moral law. (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1789)
CCC1789 says “One may never do evil so that good may result from it:” (and there are more statements…To inject someone with a virus in order to do that person good is the same logic as doing something evil for good to result…which is directly against the moral law. (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1789)
I hope this helps.

So, you’re in Canada, too. hey?Sorry
All I can say is that, without having heard anything to this effect, the thought did cross my mind. Perhaps it is because it strikes me as so odd - and creepy - that they are targeting our prepubescent girls. Without even having done clinical trials on girls this young!!
Here in Ontario (Canada) the government set up a program to go into the schools in GRADE 4 and vaccinate all of the 9 year olds (but parents can opt-out). I know the theory is that our girls are becoming sexually active before they are 10, and they want to “protect them early”. But even with younger and younger ages of promiscuity for decades now, the evidence still shows that cervical cancer is not an issue for teenagers. So why target the oh-so-very-young?
The aggressiveness with which this vaccine is marketed and the tender age at which they wish to vaccinate our daughters does seem to call their motives into question…
Peace to all and God Bless

I’m in BC. Is Canada the only country that is vaccinating girls this young?Well littleflower_24, it seems there has been a wide range of comments on your original post. With respect to getting future doses of the vaccine:
But I thought that the majority of people rid themselves of the infection. So, why would the majority of women need the vaccine? Also, any idea why the vaccine wasn’t developed for the boys?
**Yes, in many cases, the infection is eventually resolved by the body’s immune system. However, during the infection in women, the virus enters into a woman’s cervical cells and its DNA gets incorporated into the DNA of the cervical cells. This is a different process that is not resolved by the immune system, and sets up cancer down the road. To a lesser extent, a similar process leads to cancer of the penis in men.
Both you and Dr Nadal, presented great arguements, and we owe much to Littleflower for the debate. I came to the thread to find out a) Is the Church calling this immoral? b) Is it safe?Well littleflower_24, it seems there has been a wide range of comments on your original post. With respect to getting future doses of the vaccine:
– A PhD in Microbiology says go ahead.
A PhD in Molecular Biology says do not.
– Some of the good Catholics say there is no moral concern with getting the vaccine.
Other good Catholics have the opposite opinion.
The short answer to your post is: Only you can decide what you feel is best for you.
You did not sin in getting the first dose. If you decide to proceed, it is entirely your choice, without fear of sin being involved.
Good luck to you.
