Studies have shown that the vaccine is very safe and works well to prevent cancers caused by HPV. Before it was approved, the vaccine went through careful testing, and large studies continue to prove its\u00a0safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The assertion that cervical cancer poses no risk to preteens and teens is misleading. HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer, is commonly spread during adolescence and young adulthood, and getting the vaccine before being exposed to HPV gives the best protection. According to the\u00a0CDC<\/a>, widespread HPV vaccination programs have already led to big drops in HPV infections and pre-cancerous conditions, lowering the risk of cancer later in life.<\/p>\n

There’s\u00a0no evidence for the claim that\u00a0HPV vaccine trials had a death rate \u201c37 times higher\u201d than cervical cancer death. In fact, multiple research studies have found\u00a0no increased risk of death<\/a>\u00a0or of\u00a0severe events<\/a>\u00a0such as GBS or POTS from HPV vaccines compared to the general population.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0World Health Organization<\/a>\u00a0guides\u00a0the\u00a0ethical use of placebos in vaccine trials in certain situations. It is acceptable when no effective vaccine is available, and\u00a0the\u00a0new vaccine is intended to benefit\u00a0the\u00a0population being studied. However, using placebos is considered unacceptable when there is already an effective and safe vaccine accessible in\u00a0the\u00a0public health system of\u00a0the\u00a0country where\u00a0the\u00a0trial is planned. In such cases, it would be unethical to withhold\u00a0the\u00a0existing vaccine from participants if not receiving it would pose a significant risk to their health.<\/p>\n

In some trials, researchers give a control an aluminum-adjuvant containing placebo instead of a saline placebo. Receiving a placebo with an aluminum adjuvant would feel different than receiving a pure saline placebo. Researchers choose these placebos to keep the trial randomized and blinded.<\/p>\n

Many vaccines use aluminum-based adjuvants to help boost the immune response. These adjuvants have been well-studied for\u00a0safety<\/a>\u00a0and are safe in small amounts. Importantly, other studies have used\u00a0saline placebos<\/a>\u00a0for HPV vaccines, and they found no difference in serious side effects between the vaccine and placebo groups.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
