Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Amagahd it's done! Here she is, Ramo the level 3 monk! Every thanks in the world to @ellatholmes.bsky.social who saved a commission spot for me for a few days and added/changed the things I brought up in feedback. She was transparent, kind, and awesome. 10/10 will work with her again.

If I received a dollar for every time I came across this kind of question:

I'd actually be able to afford my $400+ a month medical bills.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.
They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

Instead of saying "fuck disabled people, i have to work 40+ hours a week to survive"...
You could stand in solidarity with us and help us achieve a world where your worth and survival is not dependent on how much work you can do, how little sleep you can get, and how many people you can starve.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that empathy, care, and justice are scarce resources, and that if someone gains rights or support, someone else must lose them.
This isn't the case.
We made this shit up.
Wanting better for everyone isn’t a threat, it’s the foundation of collective liberation!!
