I just wanted to applaud Lezlie Lowe on her great piece on the HPV vaccination. She is absolutely right – we never heard squat about HPV in junior high health class – it was all about not getting pregnant! The first time we heard about HPV was from our doctors, followed by “oh you’re going to have to get a big ass piece of your cervix cut off!”. I’m guessing all the anti-vaccinators have never been faced with a cauterizer while up in stirrups!
