Gardasil. Faith and propaganda versus hard evidence

Since smear cancer screening, cervical cancer has become a rare cause of death
among women of industrialized countries (0.7% of cancer deaths in US). This
cancer is statistically linked to numerous factors including the frequent
sexual activity, smoking and sexually transmitted infections.The authors
evaluate the HPV vaccination results on the incidence of invasive cervical
cancer in different countries, comparing their official national registers
data.In all studied countries, the evolution is similar: during the smear
screening era (1989-2007), the incidence of cervical cancer declined by 50 %.
Since 2007 and the Gardasil marketing authorization, a trend reversal has been
observed in all countries with high immunization coverage (Australia, Great
Britain, Norway, Sweden). The registers analysis reveals a paradoxical
increase in the cancer incidence appearing 3 to 5 years following the
vaccination campaign. This increase affects almost exclusively the most
vaccinated age groups. Gardasil trials have proved its effectiveness against
HPV infection, genital warts and benign dysplasia, but not against invasive
cancer. The Gardasil tolerance is the subject of debate. Serious neurological
complications and even deaths are regularly reported. Today, the Gardasil
benefit/risk balance is unfavourable. Inform elected officials to prevent an
obligation threatening girls and boys. This unexpected paradoxical result
requires additional studies to determine the causes of such a health dis
