Anyone else notice Yahoo's new Global News Anchor Katie Couric is one of those helping spread doubts about vaccines, the HPV vaccine in this case[1]. HPV is responsible for more than 25,000 cancers in the US each year[2] and around 6,000 deaths[3]. Worldwide figures are probably 15 times greater.

- aestra 13y agoI think we should also be vaccinating males for HPV, they spread it, and it also causes cancer in men (though it is less likely) such as penile and anal cancer. Right now we are only vaccinating women.
