Amazing how badly the United States is regressing. Literally measles is making a comeback due to idiots like RFK.

Sorry, can you explain how this relates to immigration?

If you're living in the US: please consider getting the vaccine, ragardless of your age. It was covered by my (rather shitty) health insurance. It consists of just 2 (EDIT: 3 for adults!) doses. It is recommended for both Males and Females.

Any way to test for previous exposure? I'd be pretty surprised if I didn't already have antibodies. I suppose it doesn't matter though.

"Why haven't you cured cancer yet?" "We have a vaccine to prevent some very serious cancers." "But it might turn my daughter into a hussy."

Of course, I for sure held off on having casual unprotected sex with multiple partners as a teenager because I was worried about contracting HPV, but thanks to Gardasil my slut era was legendary and enduring.

Teenagers are notorious for making decisions based on consequences that are decades away from manifesting.

I went to my local megacorp pharmacy out here in California, and asked about the COVID vaccine that’s no longer recommended by our anti-vaxxer overlords. Apparently, it’s about as easy to get as an old-school medical marijuana card. Results vary by state though. No need to travel to Canada or Mexico (yet).

Kaiser is continuing to cover it for everyone.

Yes.

Why?

Unless you're never sexually active (meaning, you eventually do have sex), it's worthwhile getting since there is a risk to yourself if you get infected.

And even before the antivax nutters here went from fringe to a significant social force, HPV vaccines were already being decried for "promoting casual sex." Our culture is so broken in so many ways.

"Why haven't you cured cancer yet?" "We have a vaccine to prevent some very serious cancers." "But it might turn my daughter into a hussy."

Also, forget "She might die of cancer" just exactly how bad is it if your daughter is a whore ? What else are we ruling out, independent business owner, politician ?

What happened to "I just want my children to be happy" ?

I always thought "Cervical cancer is a just punishment for my daughter's mistakes" (leaving aside if it is a mistake) was horrific.
