Agreed. BUT (and I'll do some research) does HPV only mutate to cervical cancer or is that all the drug company has been looking at it? Are there no known health risks for men? Has anyone researched it? If not, then why did the connection to HPV and cervical cancer pop up exclusively?

If HPV is a primarilly sexually transmitted virus - and sorry Lethosos, that means that MEN have it and transmit it - then vaccinating MEN as well makes a LOT of sense. If you can eliminate some of the carriers, then many of the end-case scenarios cease, as well.

Don't mind me. I'm a curious cynic. I want answers - and both Big Business and government are loathe to provide answers unless it serves their purpose.
