I watched this article on the ABC World News the other day and found it immensely exciting. The follow-up print article released today on msnbc.com.
Panel: Boys should get vaccine for HPV too
Why the hell not get the vaccination if you're eligible? The mainstream sales on this was to be protect young women against future cancers or STIs associated with certain human papillomavirus strains. Boys were recently given the go-ahead to receive similar advantages. And now more findings show other potential benefits like reducing incidents of heart/throat cancer for both sexes.
HPV is unnecessarily controversial and I'm sure the lines were drawn by the same people choosing to teach abstinence instead of comprehensive sex ed in schools.
Vaccinations and the eventual elimination or reduction of persistent disease is part of the success story of human culture. Depending on herd protection is irresponsible. Vaccinate yourself and your kids. Get your boosters, stay protected.
And if you don't, I hope I'm going to a doctor who believes in kicking you out of their practice.
Doctors May 'Fire' Parents Who Don't Vaccinate Children
