Human Papadapapalalapalooza
I am trying to make sense of the opposition to the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine.
The vaccine provides a level of immunity against Human Papilloma Virus. The virus can cause women to develop cervical cancer and general warts. A good thing yes?
The conservative opposition to the vaccine is that it may "signify approval" of underage sexual intercourse.
What are these people thinking?
If HIV isn't going to scare kids away from unprotected sexual intercourse, how in the world can anyone expect that the fear of HPV will?
The only message we send when we don't immunize our children is that we are less concerned for their health, than we are for our own politics.
