The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.

"Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery."

Even if HPV only caused cancer in people with cervixes, it would be essential to vaccinate people without cervixes because they can carry and spread the virus. You don't control infectious diseases by only vaccinating the people who might die, you control them by vaccinating everyone.
