Vaccine scaremongering by conservative Christians
These letters have alleged variously that the cervical vaccine does not prevent cervical cancer; that it causes side-effects, including other forms of cancer; that it has not been adequately tested and that chastity is the best form of protection against the HPV virus which causes cervical cancer.
All of these claims are absolutely false. The facts are that the vaccination has been tested in large clinical studies in 33 countries, including more than 25,000 subjects, over the past decade.
