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."

Dogs smell their world. Restricting their freedom to explore smell, to sniff every blade, to follow a trail, removes so much of their enrichment. That said - as the human holding the leash - holy crap is it boring.

This is not medical advice OF COURSE but valacyclovir kept on hand, taken as a 2,000 mg one-dose at onset of the “tingle” (or whatever sensation you get that tells you it’s coming) is very helpful. See your doctor etc etc.

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

My brothers and sisters in healthcare. “Your brain might be struggling to cope with severe chronic stress, which can cause REAL, physiological symptoms.” Doesn’t that sound better than “it’s probably just anxiety”? Signed, a provider who was just told her own symptoms “are probably just anxiety.”

Omg it’s so well studied. And it’s well coordinated to stay ahead of global trends. I’d say it’s one of the things we do very well in healthcare.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

BOOKS SHOULD BE FREE. If we want to give kids “money” to spend as part of financial literacy, let have-lots communities donate to a fund, and Gov’t and School Boards match it. Each kid gets the same amount.
