“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.

Normal people love being surprised every year by how much their medical insurance costs and whether the market is radically restructured. That's the kind of Russian roulette with five chambers loaded that they all voted for.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

The lesson Trump learned is that he can literally starve people to get the Democrats to cave. And he will do it again.
The harm caused by the shutdown was real, affecting millions, and no one should downplay that. But America is not in a situation of harm or no harm. Rapidly backsliding into authoritarianism, America is in a terrible situation where appeasement trades short-term relief for more long-term harm.
Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"
