What kind of numbskulled, moronic, provincial, stupid, bat-brained, crazy wastes of good carbon would fail to get a vaccine that could prevent cervical cancer for their daughters on the /off/ chance that it might make them think that having sex at a young age is okay? What. The. Fuck?

Where does this even come from? Are we so paranoid and prudish that we can't even acknowledge that girls /have/ genitals until they're twenty-years-old and married? That's even assuming that you'd have to sit a six-year-old down and tell her, "We're going to give you a shot so that when you have sex, you won't get a particular kind of cancer." which is really dumb anyway. Throw it in with the other half a dozen vaccinations kids get when they're eight-months or three years old, tell the tike "They're shots that help keep you safe from bad things," and leave it alone. A three year old isn't likely to know what the hell a cervix is, anyway.

Why is this such a fucking problem? My GOD these people are dumb as a box of rocks. If the smallpox vaccine were to come out today, you'd have the fucking Focus on the fucking Family yammering how isolation from undesirable elements is the only real protection from smallpox, and getting the vaccine might encourage children to hang out with sick people.

Bloody Hell.
