This is awesome news! As a reminder, boys can get HPV and should also get the vaccine. I had a HPV related lesion removed and promptly got the vaccine as a preventative measure. Recommend for all other guys reading this as well!

My mother passed away from this in 1997. This is delightful news. I hope one day soon to hear that nobody will die from that again.

Don't worry, it will soon be illegal in America, and lots of women will die here. Heaven doesn't have to worry about a slowdown in admissions.
