Is There A Doctor In The House?
A while ago, I was talking to a woman who told me that her daughter has been plagued with genital warts ever since being vaccinated against the two strains of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer. She didn't seem crazy or like someone with an axe to grind - she just happened to mention it in a worried tone. We'd been talking about vaccinations because of the recent campaign urging young people born between certain years to get a second mumps vaccination. One thing led to another and she dropped what I thought was kind of a bombshell into the conversation. So I'm posting about it, not without a certain amount of trepidation, either. If you'll recall, the HPV vaccination campaign was quite a steamroller of an event and I suspect no one who is anyone wants to hear anything negative about it now.
