BIG BROTHER
and vaccination
by Meryl Dorey
This issue’s Taking Action was inspired by a letter which was received at the AVN head office just before this issue went to print. It raises questions which many of you have had and also expresses the need for each of us to take personal responsibility for what our government does in our name and with our personal details.

HPV – Cervical Cancer Vaccine
By Suzanne Nelson
Published 15 September 2006
Next month the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation is set to determine whether pre-adolescent girls in the U.K. will receive a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease at primary school.
The vaccine, Gardasil, marketed by Sanofi Pasteur MSD, was approved for use in women by British authorities in July, and by the end of the year GlaxoSmithKline's version, Cervarix, is likely to be available. Both target human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus transmitted exclusively by sexual contact that in rare cases leads to cervical cancer.
Paralleling a similar debate in the United States, much of the controversy about putting the vaccine on the childhood schedule has been about whether doing so will give youngsters a false sense of safety and lure them into promiscuous sex.

Pertussis – the Fear Factor
Fear is one of the most effective marketing tools – advertising gurus have known this for many years. If you can make someone afraid, they will buy what you have to sell without thinking too much or asking too many questions.
Seth Godin, author of Permission Marketing and All Marketers are Liars, states that, "Marketing with fear is a powerful tool. Fear is a universal emotion, it’s viral and people will go to great lengths to make it go away. Some items can’t be marketed without fear. Seat belts, for example. They’re not convenient, good tasting, fun to use or profitable. Fear works great in this case. …What if the marketer not only doesn’t create peace of mind, but intentionally destroys it for his own benefit? Sometimes, fear is used as a marketing tactic even if it doesn’t benefit the prospect at all."
