If it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features.

No, that out cry was because it was a vaccination against a virus that caused cervical cancer.
Oh, wait, the virus is also classified as a STD.
So it was a vaccine against a common STD with deadly consequences. Somehow this meant giving it to little girls (not effective for folks 25+ i recall) was the same as giving them the OK to have sex.
The same argument that is used to prevent sex-ed in schools.
There was a risk from the vaccine, but then all vaccine have risks, but the real fight was not against those risks, it was all about the mortality of saying its ok for little girls (who they wanted to vaccinate) to have sex.

associated with the development of cervical cancer, genital warts, and some less common cancers

Those people would have probably fought just as hard if it was a vaccine against AIDS.
