The CDC report adds to the evidence that the HPV vaccine is anticipating cervical cancer

A new government report adds to the evidence that The HPV vaccineOnce called dangerous by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is preventing cervical cancer in young women.

The report comes later Kennedy promised To give a family member any rate that can win with the dispute of the HPV vaccine. In a 2019 video posted on the health defense website of non -profit antivacamal purposes, Kennedy called Gardasil “the most dangerous vaccine ever invented.”

The new report He discovered that from 2008 to 2022, rates for precancerous lesions decreased around 80% among women aged 20 to 24 who were examined by cervical cancer. Estimates were published Thursday by the centers for disease control and prevention.

HPV, or human papilloma, is very common and extends through sex. Most HPV infections do not cause symptoms and are clarified without treatment. Others develop in cancer, around 37,000 cases a year, according to CDC.

20 -year -old women are more likely to have received the HPV vaccine, which has been recommended in the USA since 2006 for girls at 11 or 12 years and since 2011 for boys of the same age. Shots are recommended for anyone of the 26 years who have not been vaccinated.

Jane Montealegre, from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, who did not participate in the study, described the dramatic decline and said it can be attributed to the growing use of the safe and effective VPV VPV vaccine.

“This should reassure parents who are doing the right thing to vaccinate their children to HPV,” said Montealegre, a cancer prevention researcher.

Other countries have also reported that the decrease in cervical precancer rates in younger and more vaccinated cohorts, he said. The United States does not have a national registry, but estimates what is happening throughout the country by monitoring five sites.

Kennedy’s financial relationship with the litigation against the manufacturer of the HPV vaccine was subject to scrutiny during its confirmation audiences. Since then, the Secretary of Health has told the legislators that he has sent hundreds of clients to the law firm that demands the manufacturer of Merck vaccines in an agreement where he would be entitled to 10% of the contingency fees granted.

One of Kennedy’s children, Conor, is a lawyer in that law firm, Wisnerbaum. In an ethical agreement amended, Kennedy said he will grant any tariff that obtains for litigation on the HPV vaccine to “a non -dependent adult family member.”
