More Vaccine "Journalism"
This Is Discussion of an HPV Vaccine Article, but This Is How It Is Done All The Time
5/17/2022
This is an article put out by University Hospitals. Read it, it is short and sweet and tries to scare you into getting the HPV vaccine. This vaccine was the most dangerous vaccine until we rolled out these Covid vaccines (in my humble opinion). The article makes you think, “I really need this shot to prevent cancer,” but the actual data in the article that they print tells you otherwise.
The article starts by telling you that these vaccines can prevent many HPV related cancers and that they are underused. Here is an unprovable stat from the article.
“About 90 percent of new cervical cancers are caused by HPV.”
That makes you think, I need to avoid getting HPV. The article then goes on to give two stats that are accurate.
“About 36,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with an HPV-related cancer every year. Cancers of the tongue and tonsils are now the most common HPV-related cancers and affect more men than women, Dr. Fleck says.
An estimated 80 million Americans are infected with the virus.”
Do some quick math, 36,000/80,000,000 = 0.045% of people with HPV get cancer per year. These cancers are some of the more treatable forms of cancer (and the link has never been proven). All of a sudden, you realize there is no real risk from HPV. That 36,000 is only contracting, not dying from HPV related cancers.
Another line from the article.
“HPV vaccination is highly effective. If vaccination rates do not rise, there will be an increase in cancers and patient deaths over the next decades.”
This is not stated as fact, more as a dire prediction, but the prediction makes ZERO sense. The idea of these vaccines are 1) HPV can cause cause cancer, and 2) if you prevent HPV you can’t get cancer from it. We know that if you have HPV from this very article, that you have a 0.045% chance of coming down with cancer per year. The article says that we have 36,000 cancer cases out of 80,000,000 people with HPV. How can the cancers increase to rates before the invention of the vaccine? Up until its invention we were seeing 36,000 cases. How could that number go up?
Imagine the year is 1949 (the year most people agree the seatbelt was invented). Someone says to you, if we don’t put seatbelts in cars, accident deaths will go up. Impossible, up until that year, they didn’t exist. One could argue rightfully so in the seatbelt case that deaths will go down, but they can’t go up by not using them. They already were not used. There is not risk to a seatbelt, there are many risks to the HPV vaccines. I discuss some of that in this article.
Another line from the article.
“Vaccinating your kids will protect them from getting cancers in the future,” Dr. Fleck says.
This line makes the reader think if I get my kid the HPV vaccine, they won’t get cancer. This is not true according to the article itself. It may just help you not be one of the 36,000 cases per year. According to the CDC, there are 1.6 million people diagnosed with cancer in the US every year. Math again, so let’s say everyone takes these dangerous shots and we eliminate ALL of the HPV-related cancers, we would have gotten rid of 2.25% of cancers in this country. The USA now sees 1.564 million cases of cancer every year. That number would still round to 1.6 million. These vaccines have the potential to prevent less than a rounding error of cancers.
Back to a line from the article.
“About 36,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with an HPV-related cancer every year. Cancers of the tongue and tonsils are now the most common HPV-related cancers and affect more men than women,” Dr. Fleck says.
This vaccine was more recently approved for males, though not tested on males. They want to add this to group to their customer base. Why not, it doubles your potential sales? They point out that cancers of the tongue and tonsils are now the most common type of HPV-related cancers and they effect men more than women. Is it more likely these cancers are caused by tobacco products that are more common among males than females or is it the HPV virus? Either way, these cancers are not in the top 13 of cancers according to healthline.
Last line from the article.
“The vaccine is considered one of the greatest breakthroughs in cancer prevention.”
Another greatly exaggerated line. Who considers this a great cancer prevention breakthrough? Merck? If the greatest cancer prevention breakthrough saved us from 2.25% of cancer, we are in trouble. I think the link between cancer and tobacco use is a much more significant breakthrough in cancer prevention.
Bottom line, do some math when your read any article recommending a medication/vaccine/procedure to see if it is really right for you and make sure the article’s conclusions are supported be the “facts” they put in them. Ask your doctors these questions when they recommend it to you. Ask them about the VAERS. Ask them about the vaccine company’s liability if you are injured. A car company would get sued if a seatbelt didn’t work.
