‘Completely #unethical’: Women excluded from life-saving vaccine


Women in #Scotland are being left at risk of a killer #cancer because of the refusal to fund a preventative #vaccine through the #NHS, according to a leading #medical ethicist.

Females aged 26-45 are currently excluded from the #HPV vaccine which protects against #cervical cancer and genital warts even though it is offered to men in high-risk groups in the same age category.

This frieze from Fulton County, Georgia shows "Medicine's battle with Death." Note the rod with two snakes. Many mistake it for the Rod of Asclepius (the traditional symbol of healing). However, this is the Caduceus, symbol of commerce. A common error in the USA.

A frieze showing Death as a skeleton on the left, and Medicine as a man on the right holding Death back. The man, representing Medicine, is holding a caduceus, the symbol of commerce.
