It’s a CANCER Vaccine

Why are these religious freaks veiled as “concerned parents” against a cancer vaccine? We as Americans are BEGGING mega-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies to use their inordinate wealth to develop and create cancer drugs. But, I cannot believe when I hear people saying they don’t want this new cervical cancer vaccine. We could wipe out some of the viruses that cause this horrific disease. But ‘people’ are upset because this particular form of cancer is usually caused by a sexually transmitted disease---Human Papillomavirus ---so I guess they have no need for this cancer vaccine. Why? It makes no sense. I bet a dollar to a donut (learned that nifty saying from a great friend who is a Army veteran) if this was a breast cancer vaccine, there would be NO opposition. We all know that breast cancer is not caused by any sexual contact. The new drug has mistakenly been called a STD drug. It’s not a STD vaccine. It’s not a license to have sex. It’s not good for some women and not other. It’s for girls before they become sexual active. It’s for GIRLS. For women my age the vaccine is not effective. Eighty percent of women are exposed to HPV. It’s not just for the sluts. It’s not just for the whores. It’s not just for the prostitutes. It’s just not for the immoral Black and Latin girls. It’s for all girls who could be exposed to this virus that could potentially cause cervical cancer. Uh, 80%. (I don’t know who this 20% is---nuns, lesbians, I don’t know.)

Get educated women. (There’s even a Louisville connection to this phenomenal drug.) Stop being drug down by sexual myth, sexual hypocrisy, sexual domination, and sexual oppression. Sex is natural. Sex is one of the things in nature that is as strong a desire as the search for food and water. I’m sorry, evangelicals, sex is GOD given. Sex is not bad. Sex is not evil. Sex is not dirty. Sex is necessary. Sex is beautiful. Sex is natural. Your daughters will have sex. Your daughters are having sex. Your daughters think about sex. This vaccine could save their life one day. This vaccine will save thousands of lives. Don’t believe the hype about it hasn’t been tested. “We don’t know the long term effects.” They know that Viagra may cause blindness. Where’s the outrage? Over the counter drugs kill hundreds every year. Natural gas kills hundreds every day. Binge alcohol consumption kills thousands every year. Cigarettes kill, no doubt, but we still want to light up in the local restaurants. Immunizations kill children. But will we give up the virtual eradication of polio, small pox, measles and other childhood diseases? This is ridiculous. If I had a daughter I would do everything humanly possible to save her from suffering. It’s a CANCER VACCINE. Stop fixating on sex. It PREVENTS CANCER. That’s a damn good thing.
