The numbers are clear.
Both are rates for populations
because statistics do not apply to individual cases. Right?
So, thackney, is there a single line you refute?
As algernonpj posted in #69:
2006 population of women per the census was 151,795,031.
Number of cervical cancer cases
diagnosed in 2005 per the CDC was 11,999.
00.07904% of women
were diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Number of deaths by cervical cancer in 2005 were 3,924.
Percentage of deaths were .0125%.
Death rate for vaccination = .01250%
[thackney, this might be higher
since it takes three injections to even work
what do you think?]
Death rate for disease in U.S. = .00258%
To compare the two risks, vaccination or not, you must multiply the cancer risk per year times the average lifespan of women who consider getting the vaccination.
