It was once. If they do not support INFORMED CONSENT
and understand RISK, then they should never be trusted
again.

Gardasil by RINO Mandate is wrong.
Patients have rights, too. Not JUST Drug companies.

Despite Dr. Ronald DePinho's alleged statement
(and it is doubtful it was taken in context)
the equation for the NET Benefit of a medical treatment is:

NET BENEFIT = (Risk with NO treatment)*(the net benefit of the treatment) - (The risk of harm).

Oncologists at M.D. Anderson once knew that.

Then they should stick to their area of expertise and leave ethics to the individual.

“Oh good grief.” yourself. With that arrogant attitude by its new President de Pinho it will not long be leading anything. It will fall apart in internal dissents.

A fact that Diogenesis can lie or mislead about...but I'm sure (s)he will try.

So WHAT? I used to work there. I agree, it’s the best, or close to it. Don’t believe authority just because they say something. You gotta dig for the details. Dude made an incredibly simplistic, disingenuous, and condescending remark. Approve universal innoculation because the late stages of the disease are terrible? How about comparing harm from taking vs not taking the drug? Oh, you can’t do that because you have no longitudinal studies. Reasonable people can disagree, and I disagree with universal vaccination. Moreover, I think if you’re going to give it to girls, you ought to give it to boys too. Makes no sense not to. The boys are carriers too, and can pass it along. Boys just can’t get cervical cancer because they don’t have cervixes. But if they can pass it it their partners, they should be vaccinated too.
