Well, the virus in question is transmitted sexually. If you're a 'good' little girl and stay a virgin until marriage, the way certain religious and political groups want, your odds of getting it are drastically reduced. But if you get vaccinated, watch out! Teens will start having promiscious sex left and right with no thought of consequences! Run for your rosaries people!
Nevermind that the most chaste girl in the world can still choose a husband who may have fooled around a bit as a young man, or who may cheat on her, thus exposing her to the virus through no fault of her own... These people aren't too big on logic.
My only regret is that it doesn't work on women who may have already been exposed to the virus, so I can't get the shot and skip out on Pap smears for the rest of my life. Ah well. If we ever have a daughter, she's getting the vaccine, even if I have to pay for it out of my own pocket. Cervical cancer is no joke.
