Zero Deaths: The HPV Vaccine is Basically a Cancer-Canceling Cheat Code
Turns out, modern medicine actually works wonders when we get out of its way.
A new study out of the UK just dropped some wild data: women who got the HPV vaccine as pre-teens have effectively a zero percent chance of dying from cervical cancer. We’re talking about a complete historical anomaly here—zero deaths reported in the 20 to 24 age bracket over the last four years.
Think about that for a second. We’re looking at a world where we can literally vaccinate away a cancer. The researchers at Queen Mary University of London noted that this is just the tip of the iceberg, too. As more vaccinated generations age up, the impact is only going to get crazier.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is still lagging on uptake. It’s wild that we have a bulletproof shield for this and people are still debating it like it’s a lifestyle choice.
Imagine having the cure for cancer in your pocket and deciding it’s too much of a hassle to use it.
