This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.

How strange. I would have thought the death rate among cervical cancers would have approached 100%. This must be a very ineffective vaccine indeed. Not only did it not prevent cancer, it made the cancers immune to all treatment! /s
