When the vaccine came out there were so many people who were against it on that premise that it is bad because it would allow women to have sex without risking negative consequences, like, getting a virus that could cause cancer.

It is the same reactions people get to covering birth control pills by insurance or making them available over the counter instead of by prescription.

It really is a misogyny lying within our society that we need to excise.

I'm sorry you had to lose your relationship with your mother and good for you for breaking that cycle with your daughter.

Sorry Canada for our disgraceful government.

[u/ForgottenPasswordABC → u/tsdguy]

Sorry Canada universe.

FTFY.

[u/VibinWithBeard → u/tsdguy]

Eh, part of my sympathy vanishes when I watch all the other countries refuse to cut us off and still play ball with us.

Sucks but the US needs to feel the consequences of its actions and as it stands everyone keeps acquiescing before anything ever happens. They just let Trump piss and moan and then greenland signs shit for him to save face, other countries let him take credit for peace talks he didnt have shit to do with, and he still gets invited to world events.

The HPV vaccine has the possibility of completely eliminating cervical cancer. England reported a study where in the past they expected 20 or so deaths from cervical cancer from women 20-24 years old, and last year they reported zero. I'm sure RFK jr will come up with a spectacular AI written report on how this is a bad thing, and women really enjoy dying of cancer.

[u/CautionarySnail → u/mrgeekguy]

Yes, but you forget, under fascism - women are disposable assets. They’re supposed to die of avoidable causes while their husband is still interested in remarrying.

HPV is simply how the universe punishes women for having sex before, during, and after marriage. (/s even though I’ve had arguments with religious people that this vaccine encouraged immorality. It apparently didn’t occur to them that a husband could give this to a virgin wife.)

[u/Lower_Arugula5346 → u/mrgeekguy]

no we must all get cervical cancer because girls are "yucky", per the head of hhs

[u/KhunDavid → u/mrgeekguy]

Not just cervical cancer but cancers of epididymis tissue, including rectal and penial cancer

[u/jxj24]

In Scienceworld, "RFK Jr's claims" is shorthand for "ludicrously wrong".

[u/warrenao]

Remind me again; I seem to have forgotten: Where did he get his MD, where did he complete his residency, and what boards is he certified by?

[u/efrique]

He wants women to get cervical cancer

[u/Wismuth_Salix → u/efrique]

He doesn’t believe in germs. He believes the universe kills the unworthy. He is actively attempting to cull humanity.

[u/floede]

Afaik the HPV was the topic of one of the largest studies of vaccines ever.

I think 30000 people were studied in a EU test.

They completely vindicated the vaccine. There were zero evidence to show that the vaccine had any side effects what so ever.

Meaning: What ever people sometimes experience as a side effect, happens for unvaccinated as well.

[u/turkeyflavouredtofu]

It's good for men too, if they (the Right) don't care about women's health, one would hope that those manosphere types might at least consider their own.

[u/hangsangwiches → u/turkeyflavouredtofu]

You just know that they'll claim some stupid crap like any men who contract it are fem boys or some other nonsensical thing like that.

[u/vonhoother]

"Despite RFK Jr. claims" practically goes without saying.

[u/Rainbaby77]

Its VITAL

[u/adamwho]

At this stage, I do not care if Trump supporters and their families die of completely preventable diseases.

[u/Otaraka]

I wonder how many unnecessary deaths will be caused by that.
