I think the point is......shame/educate people into KNOWING that NOT behaving like a "slut" could good be GOOD for your HEALTH!

That is another issue altogether. I am not against abstinence education. But for people to turn their back on a valid vaccine is silly. Again, as I stated earlier, not everyone who is HPV positive (estimated at up to 70% of the sexually active population of the United States, married or not) got that way because they slept around. In fact, I'd venture to say that the vast majority of these people *weren't* "sluts".

"Valid vaccine???" VAERS is now receiving reports of loss of consciousness, seizures, arthritis and other neurological problems in young girls who have received the shot," said NVIC President Barbara Loe Fisher. "At the same time, parents who take their daughters to private pediatricians are going to be shocked to find that they will be paying two to three times the widely publicized $360 cost for the three-dose series.<< Did your dog eat your homework? Get real, ppl, this is a freakin' loose cannon!

I've seen this "estimate" and others like it ranging from 30-80% posted many times. What I haven't seen yet is a source demonstrating the statistical techniques they used to calculate it. Seeing as cervical cancer's incidence rate is a fraction of a tenth of a percentage of adult women in the United States, that can only mean one of two things:

1. The HPV infection rate in the U.S. is being severely overstated in these estimates, or

2. The tendency of HPV to produce cervical cancer is being severely overstated.
