The parents who don’t listen to the experts make less than educated decisions. Do they even care about their children? If you get your information from your preacher or your congressman or even your president if they use information from the gossip rags you’re putting your children in danger.
And you've got a bunch of right-wing fundamentalist parents who will refuse the vaccine, rationalizing that it would give their daughters permission to have sex before marriage. SMH.
As (a male) someone who's had 'head and neck' cancer caused by HPV, let me urge you vaccinate both young women and men from it. Because it fucking sucks.
This 👆 My SIL, an oncology nurse saw head and neck cancers in men caused by HPV. Which is why both my sons are vaccinated against it. Young men and women need this shot!
I'm right there with you, Paul. HPV is common, widespread, & causes cancer, which can cause death if not diagnosed early enough & goes untreated. The HPV vaccine has been proven effective.
On a related note, healthcare is a human right. We must fight to retain this right & the science behind it.
As a male who has just finished his radiotherapy and chemo for head and neck cancer caused by HPV, I totally agree with this, and the original poster is bang on, it's fucking brutal and if you can avoid it with a vaccination please do your children a massive favour for the future!
I think it’s more important boys are vaccinated because they can carry it with no symptoms for a very long time all the while passing it to all of their partners. I say this as a woman who’s been living with cervical cancer for over ten years.
There isn’t one at all. When I asked my doctor about this she said there was no point in devoting resources to developing a test for men because penile cancer is rare. This pisses me off because throat & anal cancer are NOT rare & are caused by HPV & men can infect hundreds of vulnerable women.
Not according to Chief Scientist Kennedy. According to that distinguished researcher it has cause more deaths than it has saved…you can’t make stupid up!
I'm sorry for what happened to your aunt. There was no way I wouldn't get my child vaccinated for HPV after reading "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks."
I wish they would have had this vaccine when I was younger. Gave birth to 4 kids and had more paps than I can count. Was diagnosed with HPV last year. I’ve been post menopausal for years; sexually active for 10 years. How did I get it? Now I’m dealing with precancerous cells & medical procedures.
Let that sink in:
Even in a dictatorship belarus (where I’m unfortunately from), in 2025 gov started to administer FREE HPV vaccine to girls 11 and older.
Before, vaccine was available, but for $120-250, or ~30-50% of monthly salary, which is A LOT.
I’m so glad of this! I suffered moderate dysplasia, and even that is too far to risk. I would none of my kids and grandkids generations going forward should have to suffer!💞🥰
Every grandchild of mine will be getting Gardasil if we have to go on a vaccination vacation to Canada to get it. I’ve seen a young woman die of cervical cancer. It’s awful.
Well that’s a positive foot note
And better than a historical foot note but of precedent for others to see as a necessity for women’s health further more
Remember the bypass method when discussing vaccines with those against them. Don’t directly refute what they say. Just share the positive truths around vaccines like “it’s shown that they’ve led to major drops in cervical cancer by stopping HPV which is great!”
Great they have a vaccine for that. We have measles now in BC and Quebec there is a vaccine for that it’s free but just like in Texas they refuse to take it.
I suppose, then, that it isn't because we have been forcing ourselves to catch potentially injurious or even fatal diseases that wipe out our immune systems?
Measles is really nasty in that way, and HIV is obviously bad. Luckily, few others cause lasting damage. EBV causes bad but transient immunomodulation and quite a few others cause specific immune issues, but none tend to last.
I watched the most beautiful person in my world, my mom suffer for years and die of cancer at the base of her tongue from HPV five years ago tomorrow. Please do your own research if you feel the need but the suffering this vaccine could have prevented in my family would have been priceless!
Confirming RFK Jr was the final proof that Republicans will willingly let Americans suffer debilitating diseases that can kill or leave them with lifelong disabilities (like my hearing loss in my right ear to #measles, before the #MMR), in their sycophantic goosestepping behind Trump.
It should definitely not be a campaign for just " a female problem" In Canada all children at grade 6 are offered the 2 dose HPV vaccine that causes cervical, anal, and many head + neck cancers. Virus is skin to skin transmitted, boys generally the carrier. Education of facts is the key, for sure
In Canada, all children in grade 6 are offered the HPV vaccines. HPV is skin to skin transmitted, males generally the carrier. Oral + anal sex is on the rise as vaginal sex is avoided d/t pregnancy risk in the young, thus anal and head and neck cancers are rising. HPV causes most of these cancers
I lost family with the original HIV/AIDS outbreak, it's not something I make light of nor would I want anyone else to. If there's something out there like the HPV vaccine that can prevent such things, it should be done. However, shoving it all onto women isn't good for anyone.
Please, consider a physician's research! Check their Google Scholar profile. High scores can indicate involvement with pharma, but generally a strong profile suggests engagement with medicine. #Healthcare #DoctorResearch

Even with all the evidence available, the United States voted to spend more money to die younger by destroying Obamacare/Medicare/Medicaid. Life expectancy in Canada is 82, while in USA is 78. A publicly funded health care system leads to longer life expectancy and better health.
There's a significant chance he's carrying and spreading HPV, especially during unprotected sex. HPV is actually quite common and has a variety of strains.
I was looked at in horror by some of my parent peers when they learned I vaxxed my 12 year olds. Like, I was going to pimp them out or something. 15 years later, they are disgustingly healthy, and well-adjusted and believe that vaccines are life-savers.
I shudder to think what their peers suffered.
My dad lost his mind when my mom got my sister vaccinated in her early teens. He said "SHE'S NOT HAVING SEX" and my mom just said "She will someday...". As if my sister thought that it was a free pass to sex, and again, in her early teens. She didn't even want to have sex at that age.
got in an argument w/a woman over this shit when the vax first came out.
she said her daughters would be virgins until marriage, therefore not at risk.
asked "what if they got raped?" she said "my daughters don't go to those kinds of places"
what kinds of places, schools, parking lots, home?
oh, I know, I laughed at "they WILL BE virgins"
I went to school with one of those virgins. she gave blow jobs and considered herself morally superior to girls who had sex.
Kennedy, ex-junky will cut that vaccination. Viruses doesn't exist according to P.Hegseth Secretary of Defence! Trump appointed idiots and yanks will pay that with lives.
Not going to lie I was hesitant bc I didn’t know anything about it. So I had my girls wait a few years, instead of 13 they were hs. I’m so glad they got it now. I’d feel horrible if something happened to them and I was at fault. That’s exactly what a vax is for.
Indeed. And what better way to assure the population is consistently gullible and completely ignorant? Attack colleges and universities, dismantle the dept of ed, and shove religion into schools. Then scream “tariffs”, watch the market plunge, and buy, buy, buy. 2 days later, Ope, never mind.
Sometimes I'm not sure I'm going to make it though this administration's ignorance and cruelty. I'm 70 w/medical issues, high blood pressure being one. The day he had that ambush of Zelenskyy in the WH, I took a mg of Ativan (dr gives me 10 0.5 mg pills every 3 months) and watched HGTY for hours.🤬
vaccination works. parents need to get their kids to be vaccinated. Kids are not in the position of understanding the importance of vaccinations when little.
And it's cheap! Pretty much all vaccines are cheap, and safe, and effective far beyond the claims that most really expensive, cutting-edge medications can make. And to boot, HPV is going to be far from the only effective anti-cancer vaccine in humans, based on recent clinical trials.
This news serves as a significant check on vaccine deniers. Vaccines save lives. I wish the HPV vaccine had been available when I was coming of age. But it wasn't, and I now have cervical cancer. Facts are facts. Science is right.
Sorry to hear about your health situation, but thankful we have your voice of experience. I hope your experience can convince those who are being fed lies and disinformation about facts and the efficacy of science.
I paid for it out-of-pocket in my early 30s because I could finally afford it, and my doctor recommended it to everyone, regardless of age. She said it couldn’t hurt but might help! I’m so sorry you’re dealing with cervical cancer - wishing you strength and the very best.
I wish it was available much sooner. My mother passed away from a late stage cervival cancer diagnosis, around the time the hpv vaccine became available, and my 2 young daughters were at the recommended age to get vaccinated. I remember their doctor saying “Well, I’m preaching to the choir”.
Going through that while ensuring your daughters were protected must have been incredibly difficult - I’m sorry for your loss. Your story is a powerful reminder of why this vaccine is so important! Thank you for sharing it 🩵🤍
Thank you, very difficult indeed. Even back then, the idea of protecting one’s own, was seen as a gateway to things that would inevitably unfold regardless. As if a vaccine itself would promote promiscuity. Ridiculous and dangerous.
So glad you got vaccinated! I hope more people with cancers caused by HPV will speak up in support of the vaccine. It's an outrage that the health sciences and research have become politicized and are under attack. We MUST fight back.
Amazing!!! I am so grateful for this vaccine. I innoculated my daughter and was so grateful that she wouldn't have to suffer and die from this horrible cancer.
I wish they'd let me get it.
Unfortunately the CDC always says "you're too old."
Even when they change the age. To the ones where I tried getting it.
Stupid.
Let's keep that under our hat so the Republicans don't ban the vaccination in an effort to kill young people. By the way, the vaccination is available to men and women. Spinning this as a female thing is disingenuous.
Good news.
Bad news - Trump ended the research & appointed a man whose brain was eaten by parasites in charge of the agency that helps develop & promote vaccines & the half-witt appointee thinks vaccines are part of a grand conspiracy that makes people sick. Had enough yet?
This is a false claim. The HPV vaccine does NOT prevent cervical cancer.
In many of these studies that make this ridiculous claim what they fail to mention is that screenings are usually done every 6 months to ensure there is no cancer and when it is found it is treated.
And I am 71 I didn’t have the pleasure of having the vaccine and now I have a multitude of pre-cancerous cells in my cervix will be seeing a cancer doctor soon
Unfortunately those numbers will start climbing again due to our Secretary of Health lying about vaccines. Add to the fact that they are systematically woman’s health care it will increase even more. 75% of cancers associated with HPV affect women .
I'm surprised he didn't just ban them all day 1. Then I realised he can't be sued by just saying vaccines don't work. If he bans them parents could sue.
I'm guessing that's what the 'study' is for .. plausible diligence.
I wonder who's going to conduct it .. Neil Oliver and the brain worm.
it is an ego project he needs to be right about vaccines. Whole reason he wanted this job imo. people will say and believe that a government study proves it no matter how many die because of it. There needs be a word for this kind of death ignorance
As a woman in her 50’s who just went through 9 months fighting the most horrific and level 10 painful cancer caused by HPV. Get the f’ing vaccine for your kids and yourself if you are under 45. Get the vaccine.
Women are taking all the responsibility for pregnancies. We take the pills, shots, and the risk. Vasectomies are a simple procedure and would be a great way for men make choices about having kids and to get involved in protecting women’s health. .

(1) "experts"
(2) "vaccine"
(3) "deaths in young women have plummeted"
Any other elements that MAGA hates? Maybe the technical term "inclusion bodies" is in there somewhere?
Except for cervical cancer in her 30s.
Vaccines are miracles and gifts from The Universe

Now it’s free!
In a real fkn DICTATORSHIP!
🤯
A “freedom jab” maybe.
And better than a historical foot note but of precedent for others to see as a necessity for women’s health further more
Apart from HIV and Measles of course?
Trump did say he loves the uneducated 😞
the West Coast would be speaking Japanese and the East Coast German and Italian

However, as you pointed out, the messaging remains primarily focused on on girls and women. That needs to change.

"...believe this is likely due..."
I recall when science was about evidence and studies...not belief and supposition.
This seems more like marketing than science.

Being able to vaccinate against a cancer caused by a very common std is great news
Enough do that I sometimes wonder if they do have some sort of communicable disease we have never looked, that makes them act in its favour.
Conservative toxoplasmosis.

This makes sense to rational people.

Holy shit! Someone get RFK Jr., on the phone, stat!
He isn't taking calls... or emails.
