      Not the same as HBV which causes morbidity in multiple ways & liver cancer; & is widespread, not cleared & transmission likely innocuous: pre-chewed food to infants.

      Replying to @JaneEOpie @_PHAA_ and

      Only you can know the answer to that. My point still remains, that the logic for deciding for infants to get a vaccine in cases like measles and HBV fails when applied to giving HPV to young children w/o their consent vs allowing young adults to decide if they want to take it.

      You are responding to somebody who thinks abstinence before marriage is a viable alternative to the HPV vaccines. We all know that those darlings trying to keep their hymens intact for their wedding night are having oral sex. in high school.

      Actually stats from a few years back were that the majority of high school graduates were still virgin. You’re probably right about the high school dropouts though.

      The Guardian survey is slightly better than saying “my lived experience” but not much. The Australian is an ongoing one with reasonable scientific validity. Neither disproves my statement: stats I read some years ago show the majority of high school graduates were still virgins.

          I don’t fucking care, Nerd. Exactly zero of these citations disprove what I said.

          That's not how science works, you have to support the claims you make, thus far it appears to be entirely confined to your own opinions
