Myth of the fat dodo. The birdâs obesity, slowness and lack of intelligence are commonly given as reasons for its alleged evolutionary inferiority. Dodoes were for years considered not just large, but grossly overweightâto the point that they not only couldnât fly, but could hardly run from their enemies.
The HPV strains that Gardasil protects against are sexually transmitted. The vaccine was approved in the US on June 8, 2006 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 2008, Gardasil was approved in 41 of U.S. states. The Gardasil vaccine has also been approved in 120 other countries.
HPV vaccination is also effective in males to protect their partners from HPV infections, as well as themselves from anal cancer and genital warts, and possibly other HPV associated cancers. Two vaccines have market approval in many countries as of 2014 (called Gardasil and Cervarix in the US).hese HPV types also cause most HPV induced oral cancers, and some other rare genital cancers. Gardasil also protects against the two HPV types (HPV-6 and HPV-11) that cause 90% of genital warts. Both vaccines have been shown to prevent precancerous lesions of the cervix.
