From Zechariah_8_13s link, the first page:

Most infections cause no clinical problems and go away on their own.

Cervical cancer is an uncommon consequence of HPV in women, especially if they are screened for cancer regularly with Pap tests and have appropriate followup of abnormalities.

Try reading the CDCs report to Congress.

Once again, people do die from cervical cancer. Additionally, HPV causes other anogenital cancers and has been linked to oral cancers as well. The people who suffer from these cancers do not find themselves negligible. HPV vaccines have the capacity to save thousands of lives a year. Is there some numerical limit that has to be reached before you consider a tragedy worthy of intervention? Was 9/11 inconsequential because only a few thousand died? I think any of us would have prevented that if we could, and now we have the opportunity to prevent similar death tolls every year and people are acting as if it’s not important enough. ??
