There's fresh (good!) news on the HPV vaccine:
Where we left off:
- Scientists: Soon a new HPV vaccine will virtually banish cervical (and some penile) cancer. So, we should require vaccination.
- Jesus (via the Bushistas): Sorry. Vaccination would send the wrong message. HPV is spread by nookie...so either abstain, or die, strumpets!
[...] But, now, a letter to the editor in the June '06 Scientific American may offer a way to defuse the battle (and save 4,000 American women's lives a year).
[...] [S]exual contact is NOT the sole means of spreading HPV. Its pathogens are widespread, and fingers, Tampons, etc., can spread the infection.
So, unless Jesus wants to kill our women-folk for scratching "down there," there is no reason to oppose the vaccine.
