New research shows that tonsils may be more susceptible to HIV than other parts of the mouth. So in keeping with their line of thinking on the Promiscuity Vaccine , conservatives should be railing against tonsillectomies because it will give teenagers the message that BJ's are awesome. Right?
Ok, fine the researchers advise that people don't go get their tonsils removed as an HIV prevention tact, since only 1 in 5,000 oral escapades contracts the disease. So removing everyone's tonsils wouldn't slash disease rates the way a universal vaccine against HPV would.
But I still find it a humorous parallel to draw; relating removing a child's tonsils with increased sexual deviance.
