It is talking about getting cervical cancer being correlated to "being a slut". According to the CDC at least 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. There are other risks of HPV besides cervical cancer- like genital warts, penile cancer (for men), vaginal cancer, anal cancer, etc. Also I find the article wierd that it only talks about cases before women are 59 as about 50% of diagnosis of cervical cancer occurs after that age even if they have gotten HPV before that point (from cancer.org).

The HPV vaccination only protects against <strong>90%</strong> of the cancer-causing strains. Clearly, then, it's completely useless and shouldn't be used at all.

Are you this stupid every day, or is today a special occasion?

You might want to check your facts before you start calling people stupid.

Jrod Sorry, but thinking that sexual inhibition is an important factor to consider in whether this vaccine is used to save lives makes the anti-sex position quite clear

The sexist jokes are a little annoying, yes... but there's just jokes, so I try to ignore them. When it comes to serious issues, he usually steps up to the plate. I bring this up because yesterday I watched an episode of Real Time on Youtube from last week where one of his guests was Ayaan Hirsi Ali. It was a great episode and she is very inspiring. She runs circles around the Repub on the show since she obviously knows more about Islam than he does. I recommend checking it out.
