Just yesterday, an article came out announcing the results of a study that say Gardasil is effective for older women.  Not that we didn't already suspect this, but yay! 

Some important factoids from the article:

Gardasil shows 91% effectiveness in women age 25-45 who are not already infected, but that drops to 31% effectiveness when the women did not follow up with all 3 shots.

Merk will release the results of the 4-year study later this year, in an attempt to get approval for that age group and, hence, get it covered by insurance companies.

Merk is also still currently awaiting approval for boys ages 9-25, as per the study they presented in November of last year.

Here's a quirky little site I just found through her YouTube channel, which I found through the #atheism hashtag on Twitter. Some of it is entertaining, some of it wasn't, but here are some of my favorite items in her store:
