Reading about this is fascinating —
Over here they claim HPV is the leading cause of throat cancer (not smoking) - https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/basic-information.html https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/basic-information.html
Over here is the leading cause of cervical cancers world wide - https://www.cancer.gov/types/cervical/causes-risk-prevention https://www.cancer.gov/types/cervical/causes-risk-prevention
Then over here:
> Cervical cancer incidence rates decreased by more than half from the mid-1970s to the mid-2000s … in women ages 30-44, rates have increased 1.7% each year from 2012 to 2019.
> Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women. The cervical cancer death rate has dropped by more than half since the mid-1970s

A vaccine for HPV became available in 2006 — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPV_vaccine https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPV_vaccine
So it seems cancer has increased since the introduction of the vaccine. Prior to that it was decreasing.
Further, after reading about HPV generally, there’s no symptoms typically and most forms are not the cancer causing kind. Only certain HPV strains combined with a long term infection (if they estimate 20 years) cause cancer.
IMO there’s a lot of correlation with frankly minimal and confusing causation. Combined with evidence the vaccines aren’t effective at changing the cancer rates at all, seems like a money grab by big pharma to me. “Get vaccinated to avoid this cancer you’re highly unlikely to get and won’t know if you do for 20 years” seems like a stretch…
- idunnoman1222 2y agoNice to see people down voting you without saying why. I was gonna say in Sweden these early adopters have very high coverage rates for HPV vaccination. How is the cervical cancer rate there? In before confounding factors OK fine. do the placebo controlled trial.
