Conservative groups don't want 100% effective vaccine for cervical cancer
Because they fear it will encourage teen sex.
Good Lord. I suppose they'd also be against a cure for AIDS because it would do the same thing. Good job!

HPV can be transmitted even with a condom. And even if I never had sex before marriage... Unless I found a virgin man to marry, I'd like to have this vaccine myself!
(And at my age, unless I was going to get rather pervy, any man I marry will likely not be a virgin.)
I don't think they can block the use of it entirely for everyone & their children.
My only concern would be that certain conservative groups could could keep poor people from getting this vaccine, not just for their children, but for themselves.
But if they have it, but allow opting out by certain parties who think it against their religion... The people opting out would be the only ones getting HPV.
I could see it now... Average parents warning their daughters, "Stay away from Timmy, his parents are conservative Christians, so he probably has HPV."
