EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was originally approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006, and was introduced to
the public as a vaccine that could protect women against the two strains
of the HPV virus, HPV 16 and HPV 18, believed to be responsible for 70%
of all cases of cervical cancer.1
At the time that the
vaccine was introduced, the HPV virus, which, according to
professionals, is a sexually transmitted infection, was said to have
infected approximately 80% of women in the U.S. However, according to
research, there are in fact more than 100 strains of this virus, the
majority of which are not serious and can clear up on their own without
any medical intervention.2,3
Although the HPV vaccine is often referred to as the cervical cancer vaccine, it is debatable whether or not this vaccination can in fact prevent cervical cancer.
In 2006, the year that the HPV vaccine was approved for use in the
U.S., the American Cancer Society estimated that a total of only 9,710
new cases of cervical cancer would be diagnosed.4
However,
despite these facts being widely available, the HPV vaccination is now
regarded by many to be one of greatest vaccinations ever developed.
Maybe the reason for this is the fact that the HPV vaccination is being falsely portrayed
as a vaccine that can protect women against cervical cancer. This may
just be because the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated on their
website that:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer, which is the fourth most common cancer in women, with an estimated 266,000 deaths and 528,000 new cases in 2012. A large majority (around 85%) of the global burden occurs in the less developed regions, where it accounts for almost 12% of all female cancers.” 5
We
believe that this statement is extremely misleading because it gives
the impression that all women who contract the HPV virus will
automatically develop cervical cancer which, according to our research,
is completely untrue.
However, we believe that the claim on the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website was even
worse, because the CDC stated:
Protect Your Daughters from Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer was once the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States. Thanks to HPV vaccine and cervical cancer screening, it is the most preventable of all of the female cancers.”6
Once
again, according to our research, their information appears to be
completely untrue, because, in 2006, the year that this vaccine was
approved, the American Cancer Society had predicted that more women
would die from ovarian and breast cancer than from cervical cancer.6V
