This comment by Andy: "Merck rakes in $1.6 billion a year from its harmful HPV Vaccine, and now it wants its allies in government to recommend use by boys. Abstinence is much cheaper and healthier, folks." is ridiculous for two reasons. First, it's a great idea to inoculate boys, seeing as how it is generally boys who give girls HPV. They are half of the herd, if you will. Secondly, abstinence is certainly free and has no side effects, but ask any AIDS epidemiologist about how effective it is to tell people not to have sex. http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Template:Mainpageright&diff=next&oldid=604457 Corry I still can’t access RW, so I’ll express my snark here.
