Thanks for linking this study. It seems at first that it proves your point, but note that not everyone is vaccinated against HPV. Older people in fact aren't. If you look at table 2, you'll see that cancer rates have gone up for the general population, but in the group aged 20-39, the rates have gone down for many cancers. I put this onto the high vaccination rates in that population. The data is only from 2016, and in the 2013-2018 period there has been a big jump in vaccination rates in the 18-26 population, so I expect this decline to continue.

> It seems at first that it proves your point, but note that not everyone is vaccinated against HPV The efficacy of the HPV vaccine in preventing throat cancer doesn’t refute the observation that practicing oral sex increases one’s likelihood of contracting throat cancer. > I put this onto the high vaccination rates in that population. I don’t think you can draw that conclusion from this data. > The data is only from 2016, and in the 2013-2018 period there has been a big jump in vaccination rates in the 18-26 population Can you provide a source?
