Somebody is still paying for it.

  The reduction in expensive-to-treat cervical cancers is paying for it.

    Seriously, haha. "Who's paying for all those COVID vaccines?!" - the people who aren't on ventilators. It's almost like socialized medicine works.

      But in this case, people who aren't sluts are paying for sluts.

        Ugh no. That framing is a big part of the problem. Pre-vaccine, about 80% of adults end up with it[0]. It’s just that it’s usually (grossly) asymptomatic, so the prevalence is less obvious. However, not seeing a wart doesn’t necessarily say much about cancer risk. So it’s not everyone paying for “sluts”; it’s everyone paying for everyone so that no one pays a lot when they lose the cancer lottery.
