To: a fool in paradise
Well, if you want to discuss the HPV vaccine in particular, I agree that it should be scrutinized. I also agree that men are carriers of the virus, which is why *maybe* girls should be vaccinated. It is girls who get cervical cancer, although you may know some men whose cervixes have metastasized.

One thing you may be reacting to is the way the creators of the vaccine have been slow to explain the relationship between STDs and cervical cancer via HPV. This was not necessarily about deceiving you…it was in part to keep from heaping calumny on those women who actually got cervical cancer…which is almost always from some kind of STD. IOW, they did not want to stigmatize cancer sufferers.

Now, with the HPV vaccine in particular, I would agree that it should be absolutely voluntary for attendance in public schools. OTOH, not so for other diseases.

Cervixes should be cancer (I know that is what you meant since men don’t have a cervix. Except Bruce Jenner.. he may have one soon)
