I said that. It comes from the CDC, or FDA, I forget which.

And boys aren't the only ones who spread it, but they do spread it.

You also just said you'd never heard of HPV until recently...so isn't that obscure enough so this vaccine shouldn't be mandatory in the first place?

Tell people who have gotten penile cancer from HPV that they shouldn't have the same protection girls have because well, you haven't heard of penile cancer until now.

Apparantly not. When 1% of 60% of girls get cancer from HPV, I think that's a significant public health risk, espcially since it can be prevented.

No one is saying that they shouldn't have protection. They can choose to pay for their inoculation themselves, but I don't think that the risk is high enough to justify government intervention.
