CW: “Is this life saving vaccine just for the wealthy? The educated? The elite?”
You go to far! You’ve expanded “life saving” to the point of nonsense. Decades after exposure, some girls (who are exposed to HPV) will develop cancer. Most can be cured by cancer treatments and surgery, but an even smaller percent will die. You might as well mandate that government provide free stomach stapling for the poor, because we know excessively overweight people have much higher risks of diabetes and heart disease. Not only that, but you should support free gym memberships for the poor, too. I bet the health risks of poor diet and lack of exercise are more dangerous than the risks of not taking Gardasil.
