A cure for cancer?

[lagilman]

The news today says...maybe.

Specifically, a vaccine for cervical cancer, the first ever specifically designed to prevent cancer*.

I'm...cautious, because hopes have been dashed before. But it's a hell of a forward leap. And since I'm in the high-risk category for cervical cancer, I'm feeling it doubly so.



If you donated to the Revlon Run/Walk? Feel good. You helped get us here.





*and, of course, there are *expletives deleted* who want to deny the vaccine, because they claim it will 'encourage promiscuity." If someone says that near you? Hit them. Hard. I'll be your alibi.

Dude, I am so offended by the sex angle it isn't even funny. There's so much more that can go wrong with the sex organs that the govmt. will probably inflict it on me just for posting a protest here.
