I think we missed a huge opportunity to normalize masking as a public health tool. We eradicated an entire strain of the flu with Covid prevention measures. Masking shows respect for those around you. It shows solidarity with the disability community. It shows you value long term health.

“Be very angry about how the world is being fucked. How your craft is being pulled away from you, how people are trying to move you away from the arts…and tell you they're not important. Be angry that things are being controlled by socially barely functional people that have a lot of money. Be angry about something.” - Guillermo del Toro

HPV vaccines reduce the risk of cervical cancer by 80% in women vaccinated by 16. Yet even 20 years after its introduction, only 63% of U.S. teens have completed the vaccination series. Read this 3-part series: bit.ly/3RSbKIL
Quote that states, "Something I’d never heard of almost killed me."

Text on graphic reads, "Michael Whelan came in for arthritis, and left with a diagnosis of stage 4 HPV-related cancer in his throat. As rates of cervical cancer have fallen, head and neck tumors have emerged as the most common HPV-related cancer."

Image of Michael Whelan in hospital. Graphic with quote, "I tell everybody,
‘This can happen to you’. But it is preventable… You do not have to die from this.”

Text on graphic reads, "Jennifer Simpson is a cervical cancer survivor who lost her uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Now she helps raise awareness about the importance of prevention in Alabama — the first U.S. state to launch a formal strategic plan to eliminate cervical cancer."

Image of Jennifer Simpson is at the top of the graphic. Graphic with text that reads, "The efficacy of the HPV vaccine has made eliminating cervical cancer achievable. Nearly 200 nations have committed to eliminating cervical cancer. The United States has not. Only 63% of U.S. teens have completed the vaccination series. And there are significant gaps in screening and follow-up care."Quote on graphic by Tamika Felder cervical cancer survivor and founder of Cervivor.

“No one should be diagnosed with or die from a cancer we have the ability to prevent.”

Text below quote reads, "Delivering on the promise of the HPV vaccine will require a coordinated national strategy to increase awareness, vaccinations, screenings, and follow-ups."
