But you still have 10,000 people getting a completely preventable cancer each year.

Actually 9,000, as roughly 90% of cervical cancer is HPV related. Either way though, it's a miniscule portion of a population of 150 million women. More people die from falling off a ladder every year than that, but I don't see you calling on the government to ban ladders.

Again if you don't vaccinate her, you're putting your daughter at completely unnecessary risk. That's not hyperbole.

Except that the "risk" you describe is so miniscule that it is exceeded in danger by many normal routine daily kids activities such as getting in the car, getting on the school bus, riding a bike, and climbing on the jungle gym. And that is why I say you are engaging in hyperbole.
