Look. Injecting anything into your bloodstream is not supported by biological indications ever. The level of screening and research demanded is massive and expensive. Now the industry has promoted a massive expansion of application for many components whose history held them below a certain threshold. That seemed to support safety but it was questioned for cause.
Now HPV has specifically caused a sharp unexpected leap in cervical cancer decades earlier than expected. I really could not ask for a superior statistical proof. If direct statistical proof can be ignored, then this industry has to go and the sooner the better.
The potential for fraud has always existed. It is becoming clearly that has been the business plan, not least because actual statistical proof is often way too hard and is certainly unnecessary in a medical emergency, for which the protocol was designed for. .
Bombshell Study Questioning HPV Vaccine Efficacy Appears as the UK’s Cervical Cancer Rates Rise in Young

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines hit the global marketplace in the
mid-2000s. From the start, public health agencies enthusiastically
promoted HPV vaccination as the “best way to protect [young people]
against certain types of cancer later in life.” However, a blistering new study by British researchers—and new data
showing that cervical cancer rates are surging in British 25- to
29-year-olds—raise numerous questions about officials’ inflated claims.
The study’s results indicate, instead, that the jury is still out on
whether HPV vaccination is effective.
The question is far from academic because, prior to Britain’s
introduction of HPV vaccination in 2008, cervical cancer rates had been
trending sharply downward. In fact, between the late 1980s and
mid-2000s, cervical cancer rates halved. Now, Britain’s leading cancer research charity (Cancer Research UK) reports a steep 54% rise in cervical cancer in one of the very age groups that first received the vaccine.
The trials’ questionable methodology generated “uncertainties” so significant that they undermine claims of efficacy.
“Significant uncertainties”
The 2020 study, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, critically appraises
twelve published randomized controlled trials that HPV vaccine makers
GlaxoSmithKline and Merck used to buttress assertions about their
vaccines’ efficacy (Cervarix and Gardasil). The British authors do not
beat around the bush in presenting their conclusions, which include the
following:
- The trials’ questionable methodology generated “uncertainties” so significant that they undermine claims of efficacy.
- The ages of the women who participated in the trials were not representative of the younger adolescents who constitute HPV vaccination’s primary target groups.
- The studies used highly restrictive criteria to exclude many potential participants, limiting the trials’ “relevance and validity for real world settings.” (During Science Day presentations for the Jennifer Robi vs. Merck and Kaiser Permanente Gardasil lawsuit in January 2019, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. made the same point, describing the “elite club of superheroes” who constituted the study group and noting that Merck purged anyone with the slightest vulnerabilities to the vaccine or its ingredients despite the fact that the vaccine would ultimately be marketed to girls with the very vulnerabilities excluded during the clinical trials.)
- The trials used “composite and distant surrogate outcomes” that essentially made it “impossible to determine effects on clinically significant outcomes.” The authors explain that the surrogate outcomes used (forms of cervical dysplasia called CIN1 and CIN2) often regress on their own “and are of limited clinical concern.” They also note that different forms of cervical dysplasia each have “their own different natural histories, prevalence and incidence and strength of association with cancer.” Lumping together vastly different forms of dysplasia into the trials’ composite surrogate endpoints, therefore, was “problematic.”
- The trial investigators’ unusually frequent cervical screening of study participants likely resulted in overdiagnosis of low-grade cervical changes while overestimating the vaccines’ efficacy in preventing them. The Royal Society of Medicine authors also note that vaccine efficacy against low-grade cervical changes is no guarantee of efficacy against the higher-grade abnormalities that may contribute, along with other risk factors, to cervical cancer.
- Most damningly, the authors argue that no certainty about whether HPV vaccination prevents cervical cancer is possible, because the trials “were not designed to detect this outcome, which takes decades to develop.”
… a cervical cancer “peak” at ages 25-29
represents a “big change” from the pattern that prevailed in Britain in
previous decades—when cervical cancer peaked in women aged 50-64.
High vaccine uptake . . . and rising cancer rates
Now consider these uncertainties against the backdrop of the United
Kingdom’s HPV vaccination program—launched with great fanfare in 2008
with the bivalent Cervarix vaccine (replaced by Gardasil in 2011). The
UK’s program rapidly achieved a high national uptake—on
the order of 76% to 90%—making it “one of the most successful
globally.” Although the HPV vaccination program primarily targeted
12-year-olds, Britain also operated a “catch-up” program
during the initial three-year period (2008-2011) that encouraged girls
ages 13-18 to get vaccinated. By mid-2018, the UK government estimated
that 80% of 15- to 24-year-old girls and women had received the vaccine.
Given that Britain’s HPV vaccine uptake was high from the get-go, many of the women now in their mid to late twenties
who are experiencing the spiking cervical cancer rate must have been
among the UK’s first HPV vaccine recipients. How does this uncomfortable
fact square with Public Health England’s sunny endorsement of HPV
vaccination and its confident prediction (in 2018) that it would be able
to “get an accurate picture of the impact this vaccine will have on this devastating cancer” as soon as vaccinated girls reached ages 25-29?
The public health agency classifies 25- to 29-year-olds as the age group most commonly affected by cervical cancer but does not mention that a cervical cancer “peak” at ages 25-29 represents a “big change”
from the pattern that prevailed in Britain in previous decades—when
cervical cancer peaked in women aged 50-64. In the United States, where
HPV vaccine uptake has been considerably lower, women in their mid to
late twenties have the second lowest cervical cancer rate, with a peak in women ages 40-44.
There are several plausible explanations for rising cervical cancer
rates in the context of high vaccine uptake. One is the phenomenon known
as “type replacement”—in which an HPV vaccine that covers only four to
nine of the 100-200 types of HPV “may lay bare an ecological niche for non-vaccine HPV types,”
some of which may be high-risk for cervical cancer. A 2016 study that
analyzed the prevalence of 32 types of HPV in women with cervical
abnormalities acknowledged the potential for “a continuous shift
in the prevalence of HPV types as a result of vaccination” as well as
the potential for increased transmission of more virulent nonvaccine
types. Another study published around the same time confirmed that
vaccinated women “had a higher prevalence of high-risk nonvaccine types.”
Receiving the HPV vaccine when one already has HPV is another cause for concern. In his Robi vs. Merck Science Day presentation,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. noted that Merck’s pre-clinical trial records
for Gardasil “show that girls or women who already had HPV—had been
exposed at some point in their life to it—actually had a negative
efficacy of 44.6 percent. What is negative efficacy? It means those
girls had a 44.6 increased risk of getting those precancerous lesions.”
A third concern has to do with the decline in cervical cancer
screening. Cancer Research UK is cognizant that “Cervical cancer is one
of the few cancers that can be prevented through screening”
and it is, therefore, a strong proponent of pap smear screening, but
the organization’s research shows that the number of UK women seeking
screening has reached a “record low.” One reason is because many women don’t feel they are at risk.
British cancer prevention experts have expressed worry that women may
be lulled into complacency by the HPV vaccine’s promises and “may stop going to screening because they think it’s not important.”
… where cervical cancer was declining prior to vaccination, Gardasil has reversed the trend, “with a significant increase in the frequency of invasive cancers in the most vaccinated groups.”
A foundation of fraud
As frank as its conclusions are, the study in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine barely scratches the surface of the dubious—and fraudulent, as the Robi vs. Merck lawsuit alleges—methodological shenanigans that manufacturers and industry-captured regulators deployed to fast-track
HPV vaccines into worldwide use. Dr. Nicole Delépine—a French physician
specialized in both pediatrics and oncology and a member of numerous
professional associations devoted to cancer care and research—has
written about the “paradoxical effect” of HPV vaccination on cervical
cancer rates in Britain as well as other high-vaccine-uptake countries
such Australia, Sweden and Norway. In all of these settings, where
cervical cancer was declining prior to vaccination, Gardasil has reversed the trend, “with a significant increase in the frequency of invasive cancers in the most vaccinated groups” [emphasis in original].
These facts need to be brought to the attention of the U.S.
legislators contemplating HPV vaccine mandates. For example, New York
Senator Brad Hoylman (D) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D) have
co-sponsored legislation
to mandate that all seventh graders in public and private schools
receive the HPV vaccine, and additional proposed legislation in New York
(again co-sponsored by Hoylman) would allow children ages 14 and above
to receive vaccines without parental knowledge or consent. These legislators should keep Dr. Delépine’s words of warning
in mind: “It takes a long time to affirm that a preventive action
really protects,” but “Evidence that vaccination increases the risk of
invasive cancer can be rapid if the vaccine changes the natural history
of cancer by accelerating it.” And this is exactly what we are seeing.
