If I told you there’s a medicine that can prevent:

90% of cervical cancers
90% of anal cancers
90% of HPV-caused oropharyngeal cancers
85% of vaginal cancers
90% of vulvar cancers
90% of penile cancers

Would you be on board with it?

The NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health was created in 1990.

Women’s health issues didn’t exist before then.

(actually most people just didn’t care)

I’m sure the website is down because we’ve solved all those problems. /s
