HPV vaccines and cancer prevention, science versus activism

[Mirzam]

Quote:

Abstract 

The rationale behind current worldwide human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination programs 

starts from two basic premises, 1) that HPV vaccines will prevent cervical cancers and save 

lives and, 2) have no risk of serious side effects. Therefore, efforts should be made to get as 

many pre-adolescent girls vaccinated in order to decrease the  burden of cervical cancer. 

Careful analysis of HPV vaccine pre- and post-licensure data shows however that both of 

these premises are at odds with factual evidence and are largely derived from significant 

misinterpretation of available data.

Interesting. Thanks. So glad I never got this as it wasn't around when I was younger :)

Not only are they vaccinating girls but they have the boys on the agenda too now. Here in Germany it is even recommended for women past 30y although that would be off-label use.
