To prevent cervical cancer, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been extensively promoted for young girls and women to protect against high-risk HPV infections that can cause cervical cancer later in life, as an HPV infection is regarded as the main risk factor for cervical cancer.
However, we may be targeting the wrong bull’s-eye. Setting aside the deaths or injuries after HPV vaccination or its potentially harmful adjuvant—all of which we have analyzed based on scientific data and literature in the past three articles in the series—the HPV vaccines themselves are not fundamental to the prevention of cancer. We must instead consider the root causes responsible for HPV infection and cervical cancer.
