..to be vaccinated?

 

Broadening the discussion beyond cervical cancer, a third study of 300 patients finds that oral HPV infection is “strongly associated” with oropharyngeal cancer, even after adjusting for known risk factors such as smoking and alcohol use. The researchers add that the risk is particularly pronounced among those infected with HPV strain 16, which accounted for 90% of squamous-cell carcinomas of the head and neck observed in the study. In addition, the researchers note that the likelihood of developing oropharyngeal cancer increased significantly with a patient’s lifetime number of sexual partners both for vaginal sex and oral sex, an observation that led them to conclude that oral HPV infection is sexually acquired. They conclude that the study could have widespread implications for HPV vaccination, providing evidence that both men and women should be vaccinated (D’Souza et al., NEJM, 5/10; Ackerman, Houston Chronicle, 5/9; Baden et. al, NEJM, 5/10; Mundell, HealthDay, 5/9)

Clearly by conspiracy by big pharma to scare the public into worrying excessively about the "dangers" of "cancer" so that they can reap the profits generated by the sheeple who want to "protect themselves" against this "disease."
