HPV vaccine cutting cervical cancer by nearly 90%
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59148620
Quote:
The human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by nearly 90%, the first real-world data shows.
Cancer Research UK described the findings as "historic", and said it showed the vaccine was saving lives.
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by viruses, and the hope is vaccination could almost eliminate the disease.

Great news!

Yep, great news indeed. So many women have died in the past.
This news coming so soon after the announcement of trials starting ....

The NHS will today launch the world’s largest trial of a revolutionary new blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear.

Yeah great news indeed
The death that stuck with me was Jade Goody. I think she was a vilified by the press over a mistake when she was in Big Brother and that stuck with her for years but when she got ill she rose like a phoenix with her example of bravery
So glad my daughters had the oppurtunity to have the jabs

Although rare, HPV can cause cancers in males too. So I hope the young lads are accepting the vaccines.

Re: HPV vaccine cutting cervical cancer by nearly 90%
Vaccinating kids with this has been "paused" due to covid-19 "taking up resources".
And in a similar vein, pneumonia jabs have been stopped for over-65s due to "a lack of doses".
