He's Actually Got a Ph.D in Confabulation
So the FDA has approved Merck's HPV vaccine. Huzzah. But now it has to go through the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Which apparently includes Dr. Reginald Finger, a shill for Focus on the Family.

Doctor people, why are these loons on high-level government committees? And how do they get to be doctors in the first place? I understand why loons become lawyers -- the profession is all about making stuff up -- but medicine is supposed to be based on actual facts and suchlike. But we get a dude working for CDC who would oppose not just an HPV vaccine, but an HIV vaccine because we would lose the "disinhibition" factor. The wha? Sir, I call shenanigans.

Anyway, follow the link above to the address where you can submit public comments on the vaccine. Let us whack Dr. Finger (ew, what a name) upside the head with the shovel of veritas.
