However, HPV is a very common virus and most women with HPV never develop cervical cancer.

If HPV is a very common virus, what good would a vaccine be to try and prevent it? Am I missing something here?

HPV is generally transmitted through sexual contact. If vaccinated before you become sexually active, you will not get the virus. This will prevent the occurance of cervical cancer.

HPV is a very common virus and most women with HPV never develop cervical cancer.

Now if most, but not all women with cervical cancer had HPV, how is HPV the major contributor ???

Mathmatically it just dont add up. Is there something Im missing in the biology of, it or a combination of factors WITH HPV, or ???

Maybe I just dont have much faith in buerocrats that would trade my daughters health for a few $$$, or in drugs that are so heavily promoted with what appears to be so little long term testing...
