Myths about HPV Vaccine - Dawn Turner Trice
The myths about HPV, or genital warts, and the vaccine for it get linked in our society. It was even mentioned in Michelle Bachman's debate about "HPV linked to mental retardation." Trice implies a disease has a part in political affairs and debates. Trice also exemplifies the low interest in the HPV vaccine when other vaccines are put first, like meningitis or whooping cough. We see the division between a disease "we can see and treat", versus a disease we "can't see" and people don't tend to care. As such, Trice emphasizes the risk of women's welfare and the need for the vaccine. Trice also states that "morality mixed with public health" makes bad decisions. We don't expect people to be sexually active and have to be pre-vaccinated. Everyone needs to be cautious, regardless.
This topic is relevant because of the number of diseases troubling the public. Plus, there are complexities about the use of vaccines for rising diseases that can prove worthy of research. The subsequent research will help create a question of the efficiency of medicine and the effects it has on the public.

ReplyDeleteEither entry has real potential--focusing on the way immunizations impact a changing world, or looking at the ever-complex economy.
And for you, consider exploring more the issue of players' rights, especially as the NBA strike is concerned. Even though the strike is over, what it means has real potential; for example, look at how the NFL players are arguing for fairer protection once they've retired.
