The continuing focus on cervical cancer and women’s sexual health in the context of HPV (vaccination) is my biggest pet peeve ever. HPV causes penile, anal, mouth-throat and cervical cancer. I‘d argue that all of those cancers are much, much worse than cervical cancer. After all, they can cause permanent disfigurement, chronic pain, inability to ever speak again and loss of the penis. Infertility? Woe is me! Anyone w…

>Infertility? Woe is me!

Even if this was the only issue cervical cancer potentially caused (it’s not, you forgot death, among others), this is a really insensitive comment.

Awareness of other cancers doesn’t need to come at the cost of reducing cervical cancer awareness. Seems like a really immature thing to have a pet peeve about.

This is one of the many reasons that "parental rights" people are dead wrong. People as young as 12 should have the absolute right to seek and get, in confidence, this vaccine and other health care. Nobody should give any weight to whether their parents want them to not have this vaccine.

Why did she believe that? I like to believe are politicians aren’t completely insane so what pseudo/bad whatever studies led her to believe vaccines cause mental retardation?

Before the COVID vaccine skeptics, this one was a common drum that anti-vaxxers were beating on.

Does it make sense to get a vaccine for older ppl, like 30y, does this still apply for men?

The CDC doesn't recommend it. By that age, you've probably been exposed already.

> HPV vaccination is not recommended for everyone older than age 26 years. Some adults ages 27 through 45 years who were not already vaccinated might choose to get HPV vaccine after speaking with their doctor about their risk for new HPV infections and possible benefits of vaccination for them. HPV vaccination of adults provides less benefit, because more people in this age range have been exposed to HPV already.

The CDC does not recommend against getting vaccinated for people in their 30s. They don't issue a general recommendation for vaccinating people in their 30s.

That's an extremely important distinction.
