Exactly, it goes,” Cure when possible, but first do no harm.”
It’s not harmful to demonstrate that a vaccine works and is safe over time and 50+ million doses.
It is harmful to falsely accuse and claim abnormal paps will just go away or are due to promiscuity.
It takes 2 virgins and lifetime monogamy to make a truly perfectly HPV-safe marriage. Would you tell every woman not to have another Pap smear?
If the vaccine’s potential recipients are fully informed of the potential risks and reported adverse reactions and they choose to go ahead, that is their decision. If however, a health care practitioner is simply telling the patient that the vaccine is “safe” and hides or significantly downplays the risks, that is wrong. Given the motivations for the health industry to take the latter course, patients have to look out for themselves.
I know someone who has had abnormal PAPs cease and the previously detected dangerous strains of HPV become undetectable in their system. The virus is presumably lying dormant, but multiple doctors have told this
woman that the virus frequently becomes undetectable.
