If you drop the debate at this juncture, you are conceding that cervical cancer does not meet your own definition of a public health crisis that we must compell public management of.

I'm not conceeding anything that I haven't stated I'm conceeding. Franky, I'm not interested in whether or not cervical cancer is a public health crisis. Furthermore, I never defined what I saw as a public health crisis nor did I ever say that things had to become a public health crisis before I felt the government could require vaccination. The criteria that I offered for whether or not I'm comfortable with government vaccine requirements are:

1. There is a safe vaccine.
2. A vaccine requirement costs less than the treatment of illnesses which would occur without a vaccine requirement.

I don't care how the disease is spread, what kind of disease it is, what population it impacts, or what complications it has. I don't have a problem with government vaccine requirement for STDs. HPV is an STD that lots of people get. I don't have a problem with them vaccinating for it.
