Well I myself am loving the arm bows. She could take flight with those. Or poke an eye out.

That's exactly what I said.I have a friend, otherwise very intelligent, who wouldn't vaccinate her 2 daughters because she thought it was a hoax by the drug companies.

It is a little peek into the worst corners of their psyches.

'Dress like Ivanka Trump.'So find the ugliest dress on the discount rack at the thrift store, shoplift it, take it home, tear off the label and sew on a new one with her name on it?

My understanding is that the vaccine is ineffective once you are sexually active because the hpv virus is so common. I paid for it out of pocket because I was well past the age window, and it was about $500. I knew that I didn't have the virus, but the clinic tried very hard to convince me otherwise. I used their sliding scale to have a test proving that I did not have the virus.

Exactly!! Cervical cancer highlights the hypocrisy of the anti-PP people perfectly. Caused by an almost ubiquitous virus in everyone over the age of about 25 (or whatever age is just above the age of the kids who started getting the vaccine are now), very curable when caught early, very easy to catch early with simple and inexpensive screening measures, but happens to be related to women's naughty bits, so....
