HPV vaccine works. NO WAY!!!! [View all]

http://scienceblogs.com/erv/2013/04/21/hpv-vaccine-works-no-way/

The HPV vaccine works!

Genital warts in young Australians five years into national human papillomavirus vaccination programme: national surveillance data.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23599298

In Australia, they started vaccinating girls/women against HPV in 2007.

In 2007, 11.5% of women under 21 (age-range most likely to get the vaccine before they were sexually active) were diagnosed with genital warts.

0.85% in 2011.

0% in women under 21 who got the HPV vaccines.

0%.

For women 21-30 (only maybe got the vaccine, and even if they did, maybe after they were sexually active), it went from 11.3% to 3.1%.

For women over 30, there was no drop.
