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.

Having read the legislation, I'm concerned about the potential for a future government to use it to punish welfare recipients supporting groups of which it disapproves. In the UK, thousands of people have been arrested under "anti-terrorism legislation" for holding signs supporting Palestine Action.

Such a great story that this 27 year old Sudanese refugee is now Mayor of Maribynong, which covers the melbourne Apple Store that racially profiled him 10 years ago. The most uplifting revenge is sweet tale. Kudos, Mohamed Semrad.
