also, part of how i see it is that there are other vaccinations we get for diseases we shouldnt' get if we're careful, like, if i'm not mistaken, hepatitis B... but no one yells at you for being a IV drug-using slut if you get the vaccine, do they? no... partly because that's one of the vaccines you have to get! so how is that different? i had to get vaccinated for that, does that mean i'm going to go share needles and get tattoos at shady places and fuck everyone in sight? no! and no one insinuates that i am!
but this gardasil stuff, it's basically the same deal, and everyone wants to make a big deal of it. i don't want to die of cervical cancer, and i don't want to take my chances with just being vigilant. people are vigilant all the time and that doesn't stop them from getting royally fucked. because shit happens. and the failure to realize this, and try to do what you can to keep yourself from getting hurt by it, is BOTTOM LINE FUCKING STUPID.
