> How are you missing the simple fact that most women get the cancerous strains from men?

This is exactly the problem. How do you plan to convince men to get vaccinated to prevent a cancer that affects women?

> Moralistic arguments are what keep us from mass-vaccinating against HPV-strains.

This is not a moralistic argument; I made no argument about what is right or wrong. What keeps that from happening is that many people who would need to do so would get little benefit. It's a positive externality.

> Literally 2019 and arguing on the internet for abstinence only?

I didn't argue for it, but there's nothing wrong with it. What's bad about that approach? It's 100% effective at preventing the spread of disease. Literally 2019 and we have super-STDs because people won't stop sleeping around. From the CDC: "Gonorrhea has progressively developed resistance to the antibiotic drugs prescribed to treat it." [0] Show me another approach that will work. Vaccine? Oh wait, we don't have one for that, and our antibiotics don't work. It's for good reason that society used to shun this sort of behavior. Promiscuous people are causing a serious public health issue because they are too lazy to keep it in their pants.
