This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.

I had a shitty doctor who wouldn’t give it for religious reasons.

I'm sure it was just someone that has sexual hangups, but I like the idea of someone that is objects to it for an entirely different religious reason. They're religiously opposed to treating cancer. They're bizarrely, ideologically, obsessively pro-life, and they consider it a damnable offense to harm anything that has human DNA. A cancer is just another form of human being! They take the "every cell is sacred" idea quite literally!

I can't give you chemotherapy. That could hurt the cancer. And that's a person!
