The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States; more than half of all Americans become infected at some point in their lives. The virus is also the primary cause of cervical cancer.
A ddrug comppany is trying to get approval for a vaccine for HPV. You'd think it would be a slam-dunk, considering the results of the testing, but apparently there is a big debate about this.
Here's what Leslee J. Unruh, the founder and president of the Abstinence Clearinghouse, had to say about a vaccine for HPV: "Premarital sex is dangerous, even deadly. Let's not encourage it by vaccinating ten-year-olds so they think they're safe."
This makes my head swim.
Here's more:
Reginald Finger says, "with any vaccine for H.I.V., disinhibition" - a medical term for the absence of fear - "would certainly be a factor, and it is something we will have to pay attention to with a great deal of care." Finger sits on the Centers for Disease Control's Immunization Committee. Are you scared yet? Please tell me if you think I've mistranslated his statement: "We want people to remain scared of having gay sex."
They're trying to put their futile efforts to prevent kids from having sex above a fucking vaccine for fucking cancer!
If they're going to go through with this, why don't go ahead they prohibit the use of medication on sexually transmitted diseases? I mean, it's one or the other, folks. Either you allow medication to be used for preventing disease, or you don't.
As someone said, it's a choice between sex and death, and they choose death every time.
