Merck wouldn't back out out of the goodness of its heart. In my oh-so-humble opinion, pharmaceutical companies are worse than the tobacco companies... I sense there's something at work here that we don't know about.
That being said, I'm torn about the whole thing. I don't think vaccination should really be a requirement until we know long-term effects, but I also think it's important to be vaccinated. I suppose the only people who lose out here are the young women, and the parents, who lack the proper information or wisdom to make an informed decision about vaccination.
