So this next topic was a medical curiosity on the minds of Natalie W. Mads, Lizzie Martinez, Earl of Gramekin, Natalie W. Etigum, Brain Shenanigans, Emily Oxford, Bjorn Fredberg.

Bjorn Fredberg asks, why the fuck isn't everybody vaccinated against HPV?

Oh, this is a great question.

And it's from Dr. John Geis, who said,

Can you talk a little bit about the vaccine for HPV, how important that is, and what's going on with it?

I remember Gardasil came out and I remember... Yes.

2006.

2006.

And I remember them being like, you can't give it to underage girls.

They'll go out and have sex with a bandit.

And meanwhile, like literally those politicians are implicated in Epstein Files.

But it's like, it's horrifying to see.

Yeah.

Children withheld from things that could save their lives later because of weird sexual hangups in the government.

But vaccines.

What's going on with vaccines for HPV?

Ask your doctors, not me, once again.

But yes, patron Julia Reichelt asked about sexism and STI screenings, writing, I'm not sure whether this is just my perception, but I feel like STI screenings are much less advertised for heterosexual cis men, even though they could be asymptomatic carriers of gonorrhea or chlamydia, which can ruin a cis woman's ability to bear children.

And so yes, you are correct.

People with vaginas are more susceptible to catching things.
