Throat cancers in men caused by hpv are so common in my friend community. This vaccine is game changing. So glad it's there for younger generations

The HPV vaccine protects against cervical, vaginal, anal, penile, vulvar, and head/neck cancers (in all genders)

HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE HPV VACCINE?

The HPV vaccine is among the most effective vaccines ever developed. Gardasil was approved after four multinational studies in which 21,000 women aged 16-26 showed that Gardasil had an almost 100% effectiveness rate in preventing precancerous cervical, vaginal, and vulvar lesions, and genital warts.

Gardasil 9 was approved after a global randomized controlled trial that showed it to be 97% effective against cancers caused by the five additional HPV types (31, 33,45, 52, and 58), and equally effective against the four HPV types shared with Gardasil (6, 11, 16, and 18).

Real-world data from vaccinated populations show dramatic declines in HPV infection rates and in precancerous cervical lesions, particularly in countries with high vaccination uptake. Early data also suggest reductions in cervical cancer incidence among women who were vaccinated as adolescents.

WHY IS HPV VACCINATION IMPORTANT?

HPV is responsible for about 5% of all cancers worldwide. In the US alone, HPV causes tens of thousands of cancers every year across six cancer types - anal, cervical, oropharyngeal, penile, vaginal, and
vulvar. The vaccine can prevent the vast majority of these cancers when administered before exposure to HPV.

It will also scare parents from vaccinating their sons vs. HPV & scare men from getting the vaccine Vaccinating boys & men protects them directly from HPV-related cancers (eg, head/neck/anal cancers) AND it protects women from cervical cancer via herd immunity www.sciencealert.com/vaccinating-...

Vaccinating Boys Against HPV Could Eliminate Cervical Cancer

Not enough young men are getting vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), and in some nations, it may be undermining the elimination of cervical cancer.

such an ugly and awful lie that will scare some women from getting protection. Gardasil should sue him

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

That’s why public opinion is up for grabs. Our arguments don’t change people’s underlying attitudes or values (or if they do it’s very slow) but they do help people chose a different underlying value as the decision rule.

"She easily organized the other mothers because she had every parent's name and phone number, plus the district superintendent's, and regularly rallied the parents around issues like homework and textbooks." The only way to solve school segregation is through collective action.
