A Toast to You, Gardasil

I'm running out the door to make my way to the Options 05 reception, so I haven't checked to see what the science wonks are saying about the news, but if the news is true that a genetically engineered vaccine prevents the two HPV strains associated most highly with cervical cancer—and does that trick with 97-percent efficacy—then that's one of the great sexual health developments of our lifetime. Pretty sweet news. I'm even looking forward to the cartoon marketing campaign!
