"we are being told that HPV is so serious that it leads to cancer and the only way to treat it is with an expensive vaccine from your doctor"
Quit making erroneous straw man fallacy claims. The Gardasil HPV vaccine is a preventative vaccine against the infections of various types of HPV. Preventative vaccines are not supposed to treat, but to prevent.

"alleged vaccine against cervical cancer, why isn’t there a vaccine for any other types of cancer?"
Again, this vaccine prevents infection of common HPV types, not cervical cancer itself.
The Dunning-Kruger effect of knowing very little of what you say and yet boldly spreading misguided and misleading information is detrimental.
Other fallacies such as the 32 deaths were clearly debunked by the fact-checking website Snopes.com.
Please take your red herring off tangent remarks to other topics. This one is reserved for distressed caregivers of/or daughters, mothers, and wives who are seeking serious health guidance away from home.
"I think HPV is bs.
I don’t believe that a virus leads to cancer."
If you don't believe in scientific consensus and real world data that HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer, which used to be one of the most common cancer related deaths for women in the U.S., where exactly do you want us to search online for the facts?
In the U.S. alone, 1 in 4 are infected by this human papillomavirus (HPV). It is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Apparently STDs are highly prevalent in Yunnan province.
HPV is often asymptomatic, but may cause cancers of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus, throat, tongue, and tonsils for both women and men who endow above-mentioned body parts. Nearly all cervical cancers are ascribed to HPV infections.
A more accredited hospital to receive this vaccination would be:
Yunnan Tumor Hospital (云南省肿瘤医院), aka The Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Yunnan Cancer Center.
They're in cooperation and have co-hosted oncology forums with world renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center of Texas.

Just outside Xiyuan (西苑) KRT subway station of Line 3.
Fruits as well, for example 3 dragon fruits for 10 rmb at the fruit vendors in Shilin Street. Market prices in Chenggong obviously take into account low student budgets.
I forgot to include those delicious calamari/squids in my aforementioned 28 yuan buffets.
Yesterday was my first time scouting Chenggong District. @Cahzriel is right, air quality is much better here than in inner city, Spaciously desolate, local businesses should be relieved college students will be returning en masse around March 4th through the 10th.
Absent in forum discussions, and not specifically mentioned by Jared Foxhall nor by Patrick Scally/Benjamin Campbell in the other Chenggong article, is Shilin Street Barbecue City, Shilin Street (仕林街) is a landmark of eateries stretching an entire block of nearly half a kilometer.
Highly recommended are the 28 yuan per person spicy Chongqing-flavored DIY stir fry buffets near the south end of Shilin Street (bordering JingMing S. Road). All-you-can-eat shrimps, clams, fish (for pescatarians like myself), marinated meats, and large selections of veggies cooked on a giant pan at your table for only 28rmb is nonexistent in KM city center.
Listed by @Philou, Shilin Street is ~600 meters southeast of KRT station YiKang South Rd. (谊康南路) C Exit, or ~600 meters northeast of University Town (大学城) KRT station B Exit:
Just a heads up, passengers on the KRT train en route to Kunming South Railway Station may have to get off and switch at Chunrong Jie (春融街) for the university town stations. This juncture may be confusing for first-timers.
Just announced... construction of high speed rail from Kunming to Dali is complete. Pending finalization/tests, won't be long now till the new line becomes operational. Travel time will be 2 hours!
Great news! Hong Kong just voted to ban all ivory sales. HK was a major ivory trading hub and a loophole black market for Chinese Mainland buyers.
Persistent anti-ivory campaigns will hopefully diminish ivory demands among Chinese elites, thereby reducing elephant poaching around the world, particularly in Africa. It's estimated ~30,000 elephants are killed by poachers every year.
Shark fin demands/appetite in China supposedly dropped 70% over the years as a result of similar public education from celebrities on social media.
These gentle giants are one one my favorite animals in the world. Too bad I didn't come across any wild elephant migrations during my Xixhuangbanna visit. I wouldn't mind if they bumped round our vehicles like toy cars for a close up encounter.
Btw, props to Kunming's Yuantong Shan Zoo for improving the elephant/lion/bear captivity areas. The skywalk overhead view is an nice addition for visitors. The playful baby elephant was adorable and a must-see.
