I hope that the vaccines are approved and not only reduce the cases of HPV, but lead to other discoveries that could alleviate the suffering of millions.
What's next, a cure for AIDS is bad too?

With all of the anti-Christian zeal being exhibited around here, I'd like to clarify a couple of points that have been distorted into an unrecognizable form:
1. Maher does not speak for all Christians.
2. The opposition to the vaccine is not solely from Christians.
3. Her point is valid, even if you don't like it. An apt comparison would be if the availability of a Tetanus vaccine lulled people into re-using hypodermic needles, thereby causing an uptick in the incidence of hepatitis.
And, as a matter of fact, the AIDS cocktail (although not a cure) HAS been bad in some regards, because it has led to a resurgence of risky sexual behavior.
That said, I think opposition to the vaccine is wrong. However, in this thread, it's just being used as an excuse for Christian-bashing.
