Why Does Aedyn Eat Boogers?

The HPV vaccine, a large business

few days ago, the President of Argentina Argentina announced with great fanfare that would comprise the official schedule of vaccines and for girls from 11 years vaccine HPV (human papillomavirus). This means that the vaccine will be free and compulsory for all girls of 11 years.

This virus causes the vast majority of cases of cervical cancer (almost 100%).

is an extremely contagious virus, mainly through sexual contact, but not only (you can also catch the virus sharing towels, for example), where 90% of the population has ever been in contact in his life, and has more a hundred different strains. Only fifteen are oncogenic (may cause cancer.)

The other cause warts on the skin, mucous membranes, etc., And apart from being unsightly or annoying, not dangerous . Are removed using various methods such as trichloroacetic acid, laser or cryotherapy (the oncogenic strain injuries are treated the same way.)

This vaccine, said Cristina Fernandez, quoted by the daily La NaciĆ³n should "let the time be removed in a 98 percent cancer caused by HPV." Profile , meanwhile, the appointment saying it will allow "which over time can eliminate the" virus in "98 or 99 percent of cases cause cancer."

This last sentence is a bit more accurate, but in both cases it is, plain and simple, of a complete and utter lie .

In no event will eliminate the virus vaccine . Or by 98% or 90%, or 80%.

One of the two vaccines on the market only protects against four strains oncogenic. The other, only to two. Means that even vaccinated with the vaccine that protects against four strains can infect women with other oncogenic strains . Will be covered only by 70% or less.

But to get the vaccine, is very probable that these girls think they are protected and can not do the necessary checks (pap-smear, and colposcopy) to verify that have not been infected with other strains. And we may not take care of themselves with condoms ("total, I'm protected"), which increase the cases of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancies.

The inclusion of this vaccine in the official calendar is a debate in many countries. For now, few have included (only the U.S., Spain, UK and Panama), precisely because of that problem. There is also

many doubts about its side effects . And it is not known how long the effect of the vaccine. If girls are vaccinated 11 years, chances are you have to do backup regularly, and not know the effects of the reinforcements, and when to give them, or anything like that.

In the Nordic countries, has managed to lower the incidence of cervical cancer to nearly 0%, long before the appearance of the vaccine, adequate prevention campaigns e l ultra simple method of regular pap smears and colposcopy .

With a pap every year, no way of developing the cancer, from the time the first symptoms until the cancer can take many years. So getting a Pap every year, and treating symptoms when they appear, it is virtually impossible to develop cancer.

But of course, that does not do business with a laboratory to win fortunes with a vaccine (three doses out 3000 pesos) ...

is much easy and profitable politically (although it is possible that the government has done out of ignorance, influenced by very powerful laboratories have all the money needed to lobbying), announced that the vaccine will be free and that's why we get rid of neck cancer uterus (fatal only 0.3% of cases), to do proper follow-ups campaigns and for all women who started their sexual life become a regular pap smears and colposcopy (procedures simpler and, above all, very cheap ... much cheaper than any of those shots).

For more information, I recommend this reading and this other . PD

written a little later: I realize that there is something wrong explained: oncogenic virus strains not cause cancer in 98% of cases . By contrast, in the vast majority of cases, the women's immune system clears the virus and do not even know they ever had it. Are very few cases where injuries occur, and as I said before, it takes many years before they become cancerous. But obviously, the money is, as this massive campaign is going to cost a fortune to the state.
The only good vaccination (ignoring the possible side effects on which, again, do not know anything ) would be if it came accompanied by an aggressive campaign for women to have Pap smears regularly. I have my serious doubts ...
