Hey! I have a question over a concern I heard. It’s really weird tbh.

So, I’m friends with a lot of kids from my school’s seventh graders, for context: I go to art class with like 7 of them, so in turn I’m a big sister to lots of the kids there.

This week, they got their HPV shots. Of course I asked this kid, Mia, why she didn’t get hers, since, they asked me before things like : “did it hurt??” Or “was it worth it?” And I of course told them all to get it if they had a say. And this kid told me she didn’t get it. I asked her if her mum or dad prevented her, and she said (not exactly) this:

“Well, we read online that it’s somehow bad for athletes, and can have bed side effects. And you know I go to world championships, and things like that—“

And I’m really confused on that!

So, have you guys heard of opinions like this before?
