(1) Warts are not a leading cause of cancer. Not even close to be a major cause. The costs are not astronomical.
(2) Unlike Brit-sphere we chavs here do NOT have socialized medicine.
We pay for Gardasil and it’s equivalents here as a discretionary vaccine, not covered by either the NHS or private medical insurance, so a clear swing and miss on that score.
“Warts are not a leading cause of cancer” - I quote from your very own CDC, who might know a wee bit more about it than you or I:
50% of sexually active adults will be infected with HPV at some time in their lives,
and
Cervical cancer: The most common HPV-associated cancer. Almost all cervical cancer is caused by HPV. - from http://www.cdc.gov/hpv/cancer.html
If you don’t want to get your child vaccinated, don’t. I personally am going to call you a shitty parent/grandparent for that call, as anyone your children have sex with - and they are going to at some stage no matter how much you hate the thought - can be infected without knowing it.
You don’t like the government telling you what to do. Fine, who does. Opt out, if it affects you. But stop blowing smoke and mirrors about a fairly easily preventable killer disease.
