I just had a thought - the HPV pushers have been pointing to the INCREDIBLE incidence of HPV in the female population. According to the pro-vaccine people, about 50% of the sexually active population has been exposed.
Naturally, most people reading those stats start sweating. Even if only 1% of the infected population gets cervical cancer, that's a heck of a lot of women who would die.
Right?
Wrong!
I just checked with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wart">Wikipedia</a> (yeah, I DO take their information with a grain of salt, but, on basic topics, they're not bad).
<span style="font-weight:bold;">ALL WARTS - THE KIND YOU USED TO GET ON YOUR HANDS, PLANTAR WARTS (OCCUR ON THE FOOT - I'VE GOT ONE NOW), AND ALL OTHER TYPES - THE ONES THAT OCCUR ON OLD PEOPLE - ARE CAUSED BY THE SAME HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS!!!!</span>
So, basically, you can ignore MOST, if not virtually ALL, of the hype about the dreaded incidence of HPV, and how the virus will lead to a decimation of the female population, due to cervical cancer.
Without breaking apart the stats into specifically genital-area infection, all the stats are USELESS!
Does anyone have a better breakdown of the numbers?
