I just happened to be watching news a few minutes ago re oral cancer on the Knoxville local station at:
http://www.wbir.com/news/article/272250/2/Oral-cancer-impacts-younger-generation

It's all about how oral cancer is being seen in younger and younger people. Then at the end, there was this quote by the person interviewing the doctor: "According to Wilson, current HPV vaccines do not guard against oral cancer. . ."

I found so many good OCF links that counter his idea that the Vaccine does not guard against oral cancer:

Sexually transmitted oral cancer

I also found a Medline Plus link that makes the connection between HPV and oropharyngeal cancer here:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a607016.html

I'm not sure how I should go about this or if this is something for one of the administrators to pursue. With the large anti-vaccine group that we have in this country, I am really concerned about all the children who will not be getting the protection of the Gardasil shot.

Any suggestions?
