You are still trying to compare a risk that occurs once in a lifetime (if they get the vaccination) to one that occurs every year of their life.

Be honest, not deceptive, in your comparison if you want people to take you serious.

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%

If you really have courage, plug the numbers into the risk equation.
Let us know what you get.

The NET Benefit of a medical treatment is
NET BENEFIT = (Risk with NO treatment)*(the net benefit of the treatment) - (The risk of harm).
