Catharine Young: We’re the First Generation That Can Eliminate a Cancer

Catharine Young, Senior Fellow at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, shared a post on X:

“Today is the first-ever Cervical Cancer Elimination Day.

We are the only generation in history with a vaccine that can not just reduce, but eliminate, a cancer. And we are still watching politics, inequity, and complacency get in the way.

Science did its job. Now it’s on us.”
