FDA Approval of This Vaccine Is Still Pending
This is old news but perhaps we need a reminder. The primary group objecting to approval of this vaccine for cervical cancer is, of course, our old friends the "family values" gang.
They see the vaccine as an encouragement to promiscuity. These are the people who view life as "sacred" (right up to the moment of birth) but are perfectly willing to see women die of one of the most deadly of cancers rather than endorse a vaccine which would save lives worldwide.
According to the article, it's the poorest among us who are the most susceptible to the type(s) of cervical cancer which this vaccine has been successful in preventing. The delay is not only stupid but evidently racist as well.
It's a wake up call for all us who are concerned about the health of women. It's time to contact the FDA.

Unbelievable! Well, with Skippy the Idiot Boy aka Shrub in charge, not so unbelievable. Does anyone else see "the Handmaid's Tale" actually happening in the U.S.?

Hi Sothis. I don't see the comments as they come in over here so ignore the part of my email that talks about visiting isamericaburning along with granny.
You obviously found us and welcome.

I swear they are whittling away at health care in the hopes of killing us poorer peops off.
