I once saw a feminist on Salon arguing in favor of something like this.

Her concern was about the health of gay men. The straight ones can go jump-off a cliff, I guess.

2nd in line as always, but excellent progress!

Thanks to all who raised awareness and kicked up a fuss about this.

Did they do it because they listened to us, or because they fucking ignored us as usual and listened to someone else?

This is a testament to the marketing power of the vaccine industry. First the incidence rate of HPV is very low and the progression is very slow. If you are one of the unlucky few to get it the treatments are effective. This alone makes large scale prevention programs questionable. Putting money into making vehicles safer has prevented much more suffering then this vaccine could ever do simply due to the raw number of incidences.

The above is assuming that the vaccine is actually effective and safe. There are numerous reports that the vaccine is not effective and may actually have harmful side effects. This is a victory for the vaccine company, not the general public who has to pay for it.

This is not a small victory.

So I guess these boys will never develop cervical cancer! This is called progress, I guess...

Meanwhile, the side-effects of vaccine...
