There is a big difference between an biologically formed antibody in your body that recognizes an invader and causes your immune system to go after it, and a viracide that you take from some man made concoction to kill a virus that already exists. All vaccines cause the development of an antibody, and need to be used before exposure or are essentially useless. The Gardasil vaccine is unique in that it actually causes your body to develop and antibody to the protein coating on the HPV virus and not the virus itself. Pretty cool idea. End result is the same your immune system recognizes it then, and deals with it.
