Not that certain sectors of the public would realize this, because these things aren't "evolving" in the un-vaccinated host, just a myth right? Besides, cervical cancer and genital warts are the wages of sin, fornicators get what they deserve......
Actually, if you raise your children well and have them vaccinated, you don't have to worry about the unvaccinated masses. Smallpox had more dire consequences to humanity as a whole because it spread much differently than HPV. The reason I don't think STD vaccines should be forced on parents is because people have a choice. They can wear condoms when they have sex. With shit like smallpox, there is little choice, unless you want to hide from the world. Let's not compare apples to elephants here. I'm not downplaying cervical cancer, penile cancer and anal cancer. I am saying there is no reason to force people to vaccinate their children against something that is sexually transmitted. You can fucking bet every kid I have will be protected, but that doesn't mean I am going to suggest that they force other parents to do it.
