Vaccines against HPV virus to prevent cervical cancer does not meet good scientific evidence and experts doubt more and more the usefulness of vaccination. Article update 20 March 2012

Doctors and scientists increasingly doubt about vaccinate of young girls and women against HPV virus in order to prevent developing cervical cancer. This is evident from an essay written by leading physicians and scientists and published in Annals of Medicine. Anyone who has followed the discussion in recent years about the vaccination to prevent cervical cancer knows that there are considerable doubts about usefulness and also about the cost-effectiveness ratio. Moreover, there is also within the WTO and care about the dominant role of the Netherlands in pharmaceutical industry and the role of advisors for this kind of general vaccination programmes. Recently doctor Hans van der Linde is in conflict with the RIVM in response to statements by van der Linden, particularly with regard to the alleged conflicts of interest of Dr. Coutinho and immunologist Dr. Osterhuis at the flu shot. Here are some quotes from a long essay that you all can read if you click here, you must already be charged
In a nice article that Meds cape State pronounces in this essay, I also removed the quotes from it:
Is the policy of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine at odds with evidence-based medicine?
Yes, according to an essay published online 22 december 2011, in the Annals of Medicine.
Canadian researchers Lucija Tomljenovic, PhD, and Christopher Shaw, PhD, of the Neural Dynamics Research Group, University of British Columbia in Vancouver, indicate that there is a large discrepancy as regards claims sits in the safety and efficacy of Gardasil (Merck & co.)and Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline)-the two HPV vaccines that are currently on the market.
....In their essay they examine the current data in order to answer an important question: "Is it possible that HPV vaccines are imposed upon women based on inaccurate information?"
It can prevent cancer?
An important question is the theorem of the medical authorities that HPV vaccines are an important tool in the prevention of cervical cancer.The efficacy of the vaccines in preventing cervical cancer is not shown, because the study periods are too short, say the Essayists.
The longest follow-up of phase 2 studies of Gardasil and Cervarix is 5 years for invasive cervical cancer can sometimes 8.4 year, but 20 to 40 years to develop from the time gained a HPV infection.
simply postponing/it. "" >" We don't know the duration of the immune response to vaccines, "says Dr. Tomljenovic," so we don't know if they actually prevent cervical cancer or just what any longer. "
Both vaccines are very effective in preventing persistent infections with HPV high-risk types 16 and 18 and the associated cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 lesions in HPV-naive young women.However, beware the Essayists, even stubborn infections which are caused by high risk HPV strains do not generally lead to malignant lesions in the short term or until cervical cancer in the long term.
The reason is that up to 90% of HPV infections disappear spontaneously within 2 years and even among those who remain ledit this until only a small proportion reach a viciousness.Research shows that high risk Cin to resolve or stabilize over time. And add the remind women researchers: neither of these vaccines is able to the progression of existing HPV16/18 prevent infection or to prevent the progression of existing infections will evolve to quality lesions.
True value of vaccines
.... "HPV vaccines should have a nearly 100% efficacy for a full 15 years keep to prevent cervical cancer."If we vaccinate 11-and 12-year-olds and Gardasil protection only lasts 10 years, then his then 21-and 22-year-old women no longer protected," explained Dr. Harper, who was involved in clinical studies for both vaccines.
No studies have been carried out so far, Merck, nor are there planned, the long-term immunogenicity and to evaluate the efficacy of the required immunizations, she continued........
It can lead to fewer cases of cancer?
An important question is whether the HPV vaccines can reduce the incidence of cervical cancer screening through to what is reached with a Pap smear.In industrialized countries, where the screening via a smear is normal practice, there is a 70% reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer in the past 50 years, writing the Essayists.So, even if cervical cancer is listed as the second most common form of cancer in women worldwide, evident from the existing data that this only applies to developing countries ... ...
The potential benefit is currently unclear and the costs are high."So if you only look at the industrialized countries, there is no rational justification for the introduction of the vaccine.
..... ' The incidence of cervical cancer in the United States of 1999 was on 100,000 women in 2000 to 9.6 9.7, and 100,000 in 2001 9.1 on 100,000.
So even if it is assumed that vaccination has 100% efficacy against all HPV types 100% and 100% of the population would participate in the vaccination programme would then still screeningp the number of women outside the [cervical cancer would get very small anyway rogramm. .......
Risk versus benefit
....
According to data from the World Health Organization, the mortality rate for cervical cancer based on the current age, marking the i1, 7 on 100,000 women researchers.
This is 2.5 times lower than the percentage of the serious side effects of Gardasil that are reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) (4,3 on the 100,000 doses).The incidence of serious adverse reactions In Netherlands is administered in 100,000 doses of Cervarix, which is nearly 4 times higher than 5.7 the age standardised mortality rate for cervical cancer (1.5 on 100.000).
"It might not be fair to serious side effects compare with the death of cervical cancer, but we need to look at the whole picture," stated Dr. Tomljenovic."Cervical cancer is not a disease that affects teenagers and it can be prevented with regular Pap screening, in which no risk."
The reported serious side effects associated with HPV-vaccination from Australia, France, Ireland, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States include death, convulsions, paresthesia, paralysis, Guillain-Barreì syndrome, transverse myelitis, facial paralysis, chronic fatigue syndrome,pulmonary embolism. "> anaphylaxis, autoimmune, deep vein thrombosis, pancreatitis, and pulmonary embolism. …….
A stricter assessment
Since 2006, when Gardasil was approved in the United States, there are 18.727 reported adverse reactions in VAERS-1498 (8%), of which 68 serious (including deaths)......
The unusually high frequency of reported side effects associated with the HPV vaccines, along with their consistent patterns, indicates that "the risks of HPV vaccination are not fully evaluated in clinical studies," write the women researchers.
In addition, there are independent scientific reports that an HPV-vaccination link to a number of serious side effects.
.....Drs.Finally, Shaw and Tomljenovic"Doctors should opt for a more rigorous evidence-based medicine approach to achieve a balanced and objective evaluation of the vaccine to come to so the risks and benefits of their patients to better predict."
