Die Zahl der Todesfälle durch Gebärmutterhalskrebs geht bei jungen US-Frauen stark zurück | Ein Forschungsteam stellte einen Rückgang der Sterblichkeit um bis zu 60 % fest, ein Rückgang, der auf die weit verbreitete Einführung des HPV-Impfstoffs zurückzuführen sein könnte

>Grouping the data into three-year periods, the team found a gradual decline of cervical cancer deaths of almost 4 percent per period through 2013–2015. In that last period, there were about 0.02 deaths per 100,000 people. The steady drop might be due to improved prior prevention and screening methods for cervical cancer, the researchers speculate.
>Then, over the six subsequent years, the team saw a dramatic reduction in mortality of just over 60 percent. By the 2019–2021 period, the rate had dropped to about 0.007 deaths per 100,000 people.

Oh good – RFK Jr is here to turn this progress around
Vaccines doing their job, who would have thought. Can’t wait for RFK Jr to point out they’re not safe. In a perfect world, he suffers horribly from something a vaccine would have prevented.
well that’s r/goodnews
I guess that’s nice, but think of the new strain on the medical system with all the new autistic people /s
