I actually support Palin, thanks for asking!

HPV infections are indeed usually cleared out by the immune system, but not before they can introduce somatic mutations that can lead to uterine cancer.

The vaccine prevents the virus from running rampant creating these somatic mutations. That is how it protects from cervical cancer.

My interest in this has to do with science and public health, not politics.

Around 80% of women could benefit from this vaccine - i brought up this very relevant and meaningful fact in response to the ignorant statement that this vaccine is not something everyone needs.

No, not everyone - just 80%.

Have a great day now. God bless. I will pray for you. ;)

You better provide a link because almost all scientists will tell you this: HPV persists in women who develop HPV related cervical cancer and the process is a slow one with cancer cells developing over 15-20 years which is why all women should have regular Pap Smears without being required to by Rick Perry executive orders.

Did you innoculate your sons with Gardasil yet?

Peaceout. God bless. Good luck Sarah.

How common are HPV and related diseases?
HPV (the virus). Approximately 20 million Americans are currently infected with HPV. Another 6 million people become newly infected each year. HPV is so common that at least 50% of sexually active men and women
get it at some point in their lives.

Seems the Perry Apologists didn't do their research very well.

The 80% number of for sexually active men/women, not the population at large.
