“Healthcare personnel often do not realize that in the U.S., HPV-related mortality far surpasses the mortality from tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis & meningococcal disease combined. Each year, about 4,000 deaths are the result of cervical cancer; most are preventable through pre-exposure vaccination”
Technically Speaking: Why HPV Vaccination Before Age 11 Years Is a Good Idea
Dr. Sean O’Leary, Chair of AAP’s COID, explains why AAP and CDC recommendations about HPV vaccine differ.

If the HPV vaccine had been available 20 years earlier, my beloved Grace might still be alive.
Get vaccinated.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

I wouldn't call Hope a pop star, though; Der Bingle *definitely* was.
I suspect if you think longer you'll realize most '30s stars were NOT also singers. Perhaps we watch different kinds of movies.

My favorite cousin's usual casual hanging-with-friends outfit in the 1980s and '90s was a polo shirt with jeans, but only new ones that were still very blue. When they faded he put them aside for work use. He never wore t-shirts or ball caps.
George was right, and the trend of men dressing like little boys with baseball caps and shorts year round was part of our overall cultural decline.
I remember when George Will wrote a whole op ed on how distasteful wearing blue jeans was.
