I don’t understand how the FTC is even allowing this stuff to be marketed the way it is.
It is shown to prevent HPV (genetal warts) at least certain strains... and yes, genital warts can lead to cervical cancer, but not always.
So the logic is, prevent HPV, you prevent cancer, but that’s a secondary, not what the vaccine actually does, so its marketing campaign seems disingenuous from the get go.
And of course, there are even worse things girls can get from unprotected intercourse. I worry about these things that give kids a false sense of security. I remember the looks on some of my students’ faces when I told them that birth control pills did not protect them from STDs.
