just keep in mind that not all kinds of HPV vaccines protect against all the strains causing warts! Some do, but not all, check the specific brand you're getting! Obviously cancer is worse, but the extra protection is nice to have.

I feel that if teenagers are able to trivially bypass illegal-word filters by substituting with words that obviously mean the same thing, I think an AGI wouldn't be too inhibited by this either
