Follow the money...and how about the lab reps advising typing by hpv strains prevaccination to r/o preexisiting exposure...at least one with a separate charge for each PCR tested strain, as well! This thing has got legs for sure!

A prime example is a presentation by a Merck sponsored physician when asked about the vaccination for other high-risk HPV strains, he stated that it is “in development”. So, there will be another round of vaccinations, and another and so on. Brings to mind as to whether this is a “planned” staged release, which will enable the company to charge for each round of vaccinations as they are “developed”. Really no different than the big electronics companies and their planned obsolescence of video games and gaming systems – need a new one each year – remember the 8 track tape… Lynn

Fascinating editorial position for a paper that has been on record for decades in opposition to any governmental interference with a woman's right to choose what is or isn't done to her body, in particular re her reproductive systems. I wonder if anyone there even remotely thought of the irony.....what next, support for legal rules re what can or cannot be done for/to pregnant women ?....when I see stuff this droll, it makes me wish either Oscar Wilde or HL Mencken were still with us to share their incisive skills of observation and commentary. Perhaps Joe Queenan (author of Balsamic Dreams) will step up and pick up the challenge for our departed social observers.

Maybe because the woman and her "rights" are NOT the governing issue.

Irony? A bunch of guys on an airplane singing a song by a musical group that was killed in an airplane crash. But that's not important right now . . . .

In cases like this, the truth will always set you free: Follow the money!

And personally, I don't like balsalmic. I prefer Regina® Red Wine Vinegar as my salad component of choice.
