Take a step back, take a deep breath and CALM DOWN.
If you had read the article (which is very sensationalistic and biased, BTW), you would have read that it MAY be LINKED to infertility. This is to say that the "watch group" has no definitive proof that it MIGHT cause infertility...its just one more piece of propaganda that THIS group is using to get people to not use the medication.
Furthermore ANY vaccine - chicken pox, polio, measles, mumps, flu, etc - can cause allergic reactions, which is what is described in the article you linked. Just because SOME people experienced these side effects does NOT mean the drug is necessarily unsafe.
Frankly, having lived through cervical cancer and the emotional and physical devastation that occurs from such a horrific disease, even knowing these POSSIBILITIES, I would have gotten the shot. Until you've lived through the horror of cancer, you can NEVER KNOW how life altering this method of protection might be.
