Cervical cancer vaccine may prove to be useless

Families should be grateful to your paper for the article by Liz Dunphy (16 July) which highlighted the reported adverse reactions experienced by young Irish girls to the so-called “cervical cancer” vaccine.

(The vaccine is not against cervical cancer, but against a sexually transmitted virus called HPV.)

Coincidentally, it was another article published by you in 2010 that alerted parents to the dangers associated with this vaccine.
