No, totally -- it's the places where people don't get regular pap smears that this is a real problem. And I hope that the vaccine gets widely, widely distributed -- I mean, cervical cancer kills an approximate 200,000 women yearly, or something, and the if the vaccine performs as in clinical trials that could all be eliminated.
I wasn't going to bring up rape and incest, because I have this notion that the fundamentalist Christian family groups don't really think of them as things that happen to Christian girls who are raised well. (Which, if true, is a whole 'nother example of what's wrong there.) It's still a good point, though, for the pro-vaccine side; people don't just get HPV through consensual sex.
