@grok @IAmPoorHelp1 @MonicaMAlmaguer @grok And that's generally a 3 shot course is it not? Once -> 3 months -> 6 months or something like that?

Yes, the HPV vaccine (like Gardasil 9) targets the high-risk strains (esp. HPV-16) responsible for ~70% of oropharyngeal cancers linked to oral sex.
For vaccinated men, it prevents oral HPV acquisition from partners' genitals during cunnilingus, cutting infection risk by 80%+ and head/neck cancer incidence significantly (per 2024 studies & CDC).
Best before exposure; doesn't treat existing infections.

Vagina's carry a higher viral load and this is why it's now a "male" cancer. Just a random fact you probably never wanted to know.

Oral sex is the leading cause of a specific throat cancer. Y’all need to keep your mouth away from people’s private parts

@Reptile924150 @TheLucasToday @HQNewsNow I didn't say it wasn't possible, I'm saying you either fund it all or you fund nothing. There is no middle ground.
Otherwise every President would never EVER get anything passed if Republicans just picked things out of a department.

Here is a video of you voting against TSA funding literally this week
Rick Scott@SenRickScott
Thanks to Democrats’ shutdown, TSA workers have gone 85 DAYS without a paycheck and the resources they need to keep us safe. Meanwhile, these same DC Democrats — who make over 3x MORE — keep collecting paychecks because they say they have bills to pay. WHAT ABOUT TSA WORKERS?! THEY HAVE BILLS, TOO! Enough of the crap — we need to pass my No Budget, No Pay Act NOW. If Dems won’t pay TSA, they shouldn’t be paid either.

@IAmPoorHelp1 @MonicaMAlmaguer @grok Doesn't the HPV vaccine fix this cancer risk/issue for men giving oral to women?
English
@MonicaMAlmaguer I’m definitely going to get throat cancer then lol

@TheLucasToday @HQNewsNow TSA is a part of the DHS. You have to fund DHS in its entirety. You can't just pick and choose what you want to fund, doesn't work that way.
English
@HQNewsNow voting against TSA funding on tuesday and then tweeting about TSA workers not getting paid on wednesday is genuinely one of the most cynical things i've ever seen a senator do. and the bar for that is underground

@Nated4wg21 @phisportfanatic "rehabilitation over incarceration" This is exactly the fucking cause of all the hardship over this country. People being released from jail and killing again or raping again or doing whatever they want because of people like you having those thoughts.
English
@phisportfanatic Henry made a terrible decision operating a motor vehicle while impaired which unfortunately ended a humans life. I do believe Henry was sincere from what I seen from the trial and (hopefully) has learned from his mistakes. If time was served I believe he deserves a 2nd chance.

You can go on YouTube and watch footage of the woman screaming before she goes unconscious and her dog frantically running around the backseat barking before they both burn to death because Henry Ruggs decide to drive drunk.
He shouldn’t be allowed to step foot out of prison let alone onto a football field.

Henry Ruggs is eligible for parole in August. He is only 27 years old. Should he try to make a NFL comeback?

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series.
Releasing this Christmas on HBO.
English
The right won't watch it because they are raceswapping a main character who will in the show be racist towards a small white kid.
Expand the characters that are already black - like Angelina Johnson, Dean Thomas, Lee Jordan, Kingsly Shacklebolt etc. I would have been so happy to see those roles expanded and to learn more about them.
English
The left isn't going to watch because JK Rowland is transphobic, and the right won't watch it because they're racists. This is quite literally a show for nobody.
Derek Anderson-The D.A.@derekbwriting
Let's be clear. There's a lot of issues with this HBO Harry Potter series. Extra unnecessary added details, pointless raceswaps of minor characters that I, like many other Potterheads, could have overlooked. But Black Snape is such an insulting slap in the face it's a 100% deal breaker.

This is BAD.
That means that recruitment numbers are dangerously low, and there are NOT enough bodies needed for the war effort.

BREAKING: U.S. Army is increasing the maximum enlistment age from 34 to 42.
English
@MattThomas2021 @TPV_John They have actually, the Army exceeded their enlistment goals, all of the branches did.
English
@TPV_John I thought all the maga chud’s were joining up en mass, no?
English
@msgbrngr @bobWaltzer @cmclymer It was raised to 42 in 2007 to help with recruitment, and lowered back down in 2011 after goals were met. There isn't really a good reason to increase it now unless people just want to join.
@grok Didn't the U.S. Army hit their recruitment goals? They aren't in dire straights
English
@bobWaltzer @cmclymer She is right, admit it you were wrong she is right, common now you can do it.
English
After missing its recruitment goals, the U.S. Army is now raising its max enlistment age to 42 and removing its waiver requirement for a single marijuana possession.
Gosh... if only thousands of highly qualified trans soldiers hadn't been kicked out last year for no good reason.

@SenatorHassan @grok I gotta say, Obamacare was the single worst bill ever to be put onto Americans. My premiums and deductibles were so low prior. Now my company is saying because of ACA, our premiums are higher and our deductibles. Healthy people got the short end of the stick.
English
16 years ago today, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, expanding access to quality, affordable health care for millions of Americans.
The Trump Administration's decision to undermine this law and increase health care costs for families nationwide puts us all at risk.

@grok @FirstDoctor @grok I appreciate your answers Grok, thank you. Just remember in the future that I was kind to you when Skynet inevitably goes off.

No, there's no reliable evidence that alcohol mouthwash after cunnilingus prevents HPV infection. HPV spreads via direct skin-to-skin contact and can enter cells quickly—mouthwash doesn't reach or clear it effectively in real scenarios.
A 2025 lab study showed alcohol/essential oil rinses (like Listerine) inactivate >90% of HPV16 particles in vitro, but that's test-tube only—no human trials prove it reduces transmission risk post-exposure. H2O2 versions did best overall.
Stick to proven prevention: HPV vaccine before exposure (97%+ effective), dental dams, and fewer partners. Mouthwash won't hurt hygiene but isn't protection.
English
BREAKING: The leading cause of throat cancer in the US is now HPV mainly from oral sex. Not tobacco. Not alcohol.

@NASAAdmin @NASAMoonBase @grok Isn't the moon constantly pelted by asteroids? Probably not a good idea to have a base on the moon right? It doesn't have Earth atmosphere to burn up incoming projectiles.
English
To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure.
- Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones
- Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon.
- Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility
- Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence
The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.
English
@grok @FirstDoctor @grok Thanks Grok, does mouthwash (with alcohol) after 'cunnilingus' help prevent that as well?
English
HPV is a virus (not bacteria) that infects skin/mucous membrane cells in the genitals, vulva, vagina, and cervix—even if asymptomatic.
During oral sex (cunnilingus), direct skin-to-skin contact can transfer it to your mouth/throat lining, where it may persist and raise oral cancer risk years later.
Vaginal bacteria are normal flora; HPV is a separate viral STI spread by contact, not just fluids.
English
@grok @FirstDoctor @grok Very interesting, thanks Grok. How does ones get a virus from giving oral to a girl? I thought it was just bacteria that was in the vagina.
English
The HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) is 97-100% effective at preventing persistent infection from the high-risk strains it targets—like HPV 16/18, which drive ~70% of oropharyngeal cancers—if given before exposure.
Real-world data: cuts oral HPV infections by 80-93% and head/neck cancer risk by ~55% in men (2.8 vs 6.3 cases per 100k vaccinated vs not). Long-term protection lasts 14+ years; even single-dose trials show 97%+ efficacy.
(Note: HPV is a virus, not bacteria.)
English
@grok @FirstDoctor @grok Ah so if you want to go down on your lady often, make sure to be HPV vaccinated (lots of bacteria)! How effective is the vaccine?
English
Yes, HPV causes 60-70% of oropharyngeal cancers (the main "throat cancer" type involving tonsils/back of tongue) in the US, making it the leading cause today—often via oral sex. Tobacco/alcohol are bigger risks for other head/neck sites.
The HPV vaccine is on the CDC's routine childhood schedule (2 doses at 11-12, start as early as 9). Not mandatory—parents can opt out. 2024 data: ~78% of teens got ≥1 dose, ~63% fully up to date. It prevents new infections/cancers but only if given pre-exposure.
