I'm not supporting gardasil. At all.
But your comment isn't helping.
"Genital Warts" is extremely nasty, and HPV is known to cause cancer in both men and women. Attempting to minimize the seriousness of the disease is ill advised.
Judicious mating, though, strikes me as a better preventative than a poorly tested vaccine.
The official policy of the Government of the United States is that judicious mating is either undesirable or an impossibility.
Up until 1997-8, the CDC made lists, occasionally revised, of who should and should not receive Hepatitis B vaccine (except for heath care staff and drug addicts, Hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease).
Since the question of inclusion or exclusion from the list became (another) Leftist cause, since 1999 we have had universal Hepatitis B vaccination, starting at birth.
The Gardasil policies are modeled on the Hepatitis B policy - the arguments are the same, the forces on each side are the same, the people with the power of decision are the same - Merck may well be giving a nudge here and there, but this is NOT an issue of (financial) corruption - it's about whether your sex life is something you can control, or it isn't.
Our government, and the entire ruling class, believes it isn't. The people, for the most part, believe it is.
