I don’t doubt the CDC numbers but this is a subversive attemp to push the HPV vaccine. You notice there are no mention of males in the study.
I fell this because our own governor good hair tried to force us to vaccinate our pre-pubescent daughters. Even my wife’s OB/Gyn tried to get us to do our 16 year old. She listened to his spiel and politely said she’ll get it when she needs it right before she marries.
Yes you naysayers can say we are naive but we know our daughter and she is a virgin and committed to being one when she marries and marrying one.
The best laid plans...
In re: the CDC figures, what group of teens did they get the info from?
Just the kids who visit Planned Parenthood?
That is not a good sample, obviously.
Did they go through the kids who just regularly visit their own pediatrician and not the “school clinic?”
Did they sample home school kids? Private school kids?
