Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in vaccinated young women
Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine. 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Duwamish Girl 💙💙💙💙89My daughter was on the trial for this vaccine. After it was over, she found out she had gotten the vaccine and not the placebo. I like to think that she helped make a difference in the world!
JustLinda63My MAGA niece became anti-vax during COVID. Her kids were fully vaccinated for school age, at least. I begged her over and over to get her 13-year-old daughter the HPV vaccine. She finally did. If nothing else I say gets through to her, at least my grand-niece won't get the virus
thatswhat-shesaid.bsky.social56So vaccines HELP?!?! Who knew? Science did-FACTUAL SCIENCE !! (Me screaming inside)
kesl59.bsky.social45Metastatic cervical cancer is a horrific death. I’ve watched it first hand and up close. I know she would have welcomed the vaccine if it had been available. I miss her very much.
Rob Beekmans25Same here in Netherlands. Report came out last year. I remember a friend of my daughter not getting the vaccine as their parents were those types…
iouthanx2.bsky.social22I made sure my kids received this vaccination when they were at the age required.
Tattie Bogle22And, just for clarification.NHS Scotland has been vaccinating kids since 2008😎 All 11 to 13 year old girls are vaccinated when attending secondary school.
Dakyres17Fuck Cervical Cancer. Glad to see that at least in the future women may not fear the thing that took my closest companion from me.
M. Wilderr15Let’s not miss this opportunity to tell RFK Jr and other anti-vaxxers to Fuck Completely Off.
Brenda Nevill 🍉12So many men were offended by the very existence of this amazing breakthrough. They believe that it will encourage sexual activity.
mpjm-cook.bsky.social11Which is why I had my daughter vaccinated.
PJ's Pics 🇦🇺10Same kind of results in Australia & New Zealand.
Gavin Williamson9No, not the first study of its kind, this from the Lancet in 2024 reports on study carried out in Scotland, which has since offered vaccine to all young women aged 12 to 14 since. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Joanne Nelson8My grandmother died of cervical cancer when she was 46. I wish I could personally thank every scientist involved in creating this vaccine.
Lisa Jane8We need to educate adults that they can also have this vaccine; it’s freely available and so worth paying for if at all possible.
Custard the cat7They should also give it to older women. It still helps and it’s weird that older women have to pay for it themselves.
jaineinchina.bsky.social7This is the best news story. Science.
Lisa Jane6Also worth noting that we should have a herpes vaccine more widely available in the next few years, which will cut dementia risk.
𝑨𝒏𝒅𝒚6That such a large number of functioning, procreating and voting adults will scoff at this news is infuriating. Then again, they’ll likely never see it so…
Will Roy6Vaccines have been around for some time now. Vaccines remain the singer greatest medical breakthrough of all time.
Abby D.5The vaccine isn't that old & neither are the women who got it so is this a big data set? Just wondering. I believe they say prostate cancer will drop as well in men vaccinated.
jaquix173🦋5Who was it who tried to keep this lifesaver off the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme? Tony Abbott or Barnaby Joyce ?
Neşe 🇹🇷💙 🇩🇪💙 🇺🇸5Say it louder to the anti vaccine crowd in the back! 📣 📢
Robyn 🇳🇿 🏳️🌈5And if you are over 45 they won’t give you the vaccine. I’m told there is no point. But it would have saved my health. I’ve got a nervous three week wait.
auntieranty.bsky.social5This is amazing. I remember the controversy when it first came out. Thankfully the parents listened to the doctors.
Maranoa Girl4Are young boys taking this vaccine up?
Going Green4Should be compulsory for both girls and boys.
Bevan Miller4Noteable philandering MPs in Australia opposed to Gardasil: Barnaby Joyce and Tony Abbott.
Alexander Dudley4Barnaby Joyce rallied against the HPV vaccine being made easily available.
Andrew Sharpe 🏴|🇪🇺4As usual the "UK" public service broadcaster ignores the other nations. 🏴 "Zero cases of cervical cancer have been detected in the 12 years after vaccination among women who received the HPV vaccine at age 12–13" www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...
Irish-Seanchai4I hope Kennedy Junior doesn’t mess with this!
Michael Beveridge4Thank you, Fazer and Zhou.
Annie3Time for the boys too so that they don’t get throatcancer from orals@x
@pixelsonapage3Great news, my mother died from cervical cancer...
Ciara Christine3Just diagnosed with cervical cancer and wish this vaccine were around when I was a teen. I hope it saves a lot of lives.
T. A. D.2Don’t tell Dr Kennedy Jr!
newdk111.bsky.social2It's good one..My sweetheart 💓. Love you Miriam with all support
Teresa 🇨🇦 Don't Excuse Nazis Cooper 🍁2My son is also vaccinated, so as not to infect anyone. I've known too many people to count who've gotten cervical cancer. It doesn't need to be that way anymore.
mrdavidmonaghan.bsky.social2Isn’t there a vaccine boys can get too. Sure I heard it somewhere
Cllr Malcolm Peplow2This is great news for all young women in the UK. Everyone involved in developing the vaccine & rolling out the vaccination programme deserve huge thanks.
Julie of Tynedale2The wonders of science and research. Bless every single one of them. ❤️
Roderick Godsell2If only Vaccine haters looked to Science!
HelenSparta2Great research from the researchers at Queen Mary University of London. Brilliant news.
IslandMonkey2Please don’t forget to vaccinate your boys too, they do have the chance of developing cancer and can be carriers for transmission. ALL children should be vaccinated early and maybe we can stop 90% of certain cancers
Baby octopus2I remember when the vaccine programme started the Daily Mail, fresh off promoting that murderous fraud Wakefield for the prior decade, ran a sustained editorial line against it, putting stories on the front page as strong as "some teenagers feel faint when getting a jab"
Christopher2oh, well this guy will find a way to fk it up and make sure it never hits US soil.
lewis7.bsky.social2My son and daughter got it. One less thing to worry about. Yay science!
RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD265In the future we can expect to see similar results for all age groups. Right now these results are a function of when the HPV vaccine was released. I’m sorry I missed the window myself and developed invasive cervical cancer in 2002.
Will Roy40I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. Vaccines are the greatest medical breakthrough of all time.
LibDib39RFK Jr is "dangerous and defective." Wish we had a vaccine to protect against that.
Richard Zencker29The HPV vaccine protects against more than just cervical cancer. More men should be receiving it.
Magpie15When this Vax came out, i had to pay full OOP to protect my son as well. My dr caught my Cervical cancer early, but not my breast cancer. This guy is such a dangerous creep and a ghoul; his brain worms need to get to work and finish what they started.
Clarissa Oakes 🇺🇦14When RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”, I think he means it's a danger to his anti-vax narrative. Hard to keep a grift going when all the evidence is against you.
Kim9What about men? I know two men who's cancers were likely caused by HPV (they survived but went through hell) and I've lost one girlfriend to cervical cancer.
Rosemary Thomas7He’s not just stupid but dangerous. Props to the Australian team who created it and to the US team for refining. 💪
Hilary Wollis6The DATA shows the HPV vaccine is nothing short of miraculous. Hotdog-skin man is the one who is dangerous, and his hare-brained pronouncements are defective.
LaurieIsBlue5Kennedy’s only “proof” is an ongoing lawsuit involving Merck, claiming the company didn’t adequately disclose the side effects of Gardasil, its HPV vaccine; Kennedy litigated the case himself at earlier stages and STANDS TO PROFIT if Merck loses. No conflict of interest there . . .
LeftPeggers 🏴 🇵🇸4RFK is “dangerous and defective…”
Allan4It’s obvious to anyone paying attention that the secretary of Hateful and Harmful Services wants people to die.
Tom Bombadil4Magats seem to hate women almost as much as brown people and want to make their lives as unpleasant as possible.
An Average Joe4Kennedy has zero medical qualifications. His only expertise in anything is kissing Trump's ass, and spreading disinformation. He should spend the rest of his life in prison.
Cheri🌻📚😻🎨🏳️🌈🇺🇦🏁✡️♻️🍅3Rfk jr is unqualified to pronounce judgments on vaccines or any other medical treatment.
web_rant3It's the job of the Secretary of Harm to get those cancer deaths up. In order to concentrate capital. bsky.app/profile/eliz...
@amybisinthewoods.bsky.social 🍄🍄🟫3Well, he’s a huge misogynist, as all men with narcissistic personality disorder are, so not really bothered by a lot of women dying because of his takes on things he knows nothing about.
Laurie Dunkin Wedd3But takeup is 75% and we need 90%. Antivaxxers are murderers.
Pfunk, the Shenanigator2he is dangerous and defective. he has absolutely no business speaking about anything other than his past addictions and his abuses of women. he's a whole ass fissure.
Wild Rover2RFK Jr. is “dangerous and defective”.
athenabird.bsky.social2RFK and his enablers hate women, so the defect is obvious to them.
Jaded_In_Montana🐸2RFK Jr is an idiot.
Canadian 🇨🇦2I would apply dangerous and defective to him.
Anne2This is the power of vaccines and science. Human suffering can be lessened.
caveatemptorbich.bsky.social2But by all means, let’s let Mr antivax conspiracy theorist run our health care based on his hare brained ideas instead of scientific studies!
jrriver.bsky.social2Robert Kennedy Jr is insane and a murderer.
Ryan Paige2Another great, life-saving scientific success story that RFK, Jr. insists on shitting on.
Bob Williams2The women of America should rise up against this anti-science fraud, and demand this vaccine for their daughters. Remember how Lysistrata empowered the women of Athens to stop their men fighting.
James Woodfield2RFK Jr. is dangerous and defective.
Delighted to share some good news 🧪 “This hugely encouraging news shows the life-saving impact of the HPV vaccine, and it’s incredibly exciting to be able to say to this whole generation: cervical cancer shouldn’t be a risk for you,” says Caroline Temmink www.newscientist.com/article/2530...
Maggie M.14Here in the US, religious zealots prevent their children from getting these life-saving shots because they fear it encourages promiscuity.
4017xan.bsky.social3HPV vaccine for boys! Saves men from oral & throat cancers.
Dr. Sandra Steingraber 🏳️🌈3I’m a mom of two kids who underwent a coloposcopy bc of HPV in the pre-vaccine days. I nearly fainted from the pain. But I had a good outcome. Did I vaccinate both my daughter and my son before they were old enough to drive so they never never have worry about HPV? ABSOLUTELY YES.
Landmark new research shows the risk of dying from cervical cancer before 30 is now ‘close to zero' after the HPV vaccine.
Lunabelle11We desperately need something on ovarian cancer, it's horrific and by the time it shows itself almost certainly too late. Not sure if we can/need a vaccine or a regular test - if either are possible.
jaculis.bsky.social10HPV vaccine isn't just for women and girls. HPV isn't a gender-specific virus. It can also manifest as oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. Someone exposed in their late teens or twenties might not develop HPV-related throat cancer until their 50s or 60s. www.bmj.com/content/350/...
JoinTheATeam8Glad the UK has good uptake for the vaccine. Here in the US, religious nutjobs have sabotaged public health because it reminds them that girls have sex
Renee Babcock6Many years ago, then governor Rick Perry mandated all girls get the hpv vaccine. It was actually something good he had done (other than doing up his lovely hair every morning). A bunch of Repubs sued because they thought he was telling their girls to run out and have sex. And the parents won.
Big Beautiful Blue Wall4RFK jr is a human papilloma virus
Patrida Sutton 3Ive always been pro vax but this was one that gave me pause, there was some scaremongering early on, I hadn't had it as a child and it felt like a great responsibility to decide on for my kids. In the end they got the jab and I have no regrets.
Isn't it great to read some truly good news for once? 😃 Solid, irrefutable proof that vaccines work, and that science is worth pursuing. Congratulations and thanks to all those behind this! 👏👏👏👏👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Algux (I write stuff)5Great! The rise of conspiracy theories such as 'Vaccines cause Autism,' 'The World is Flat' and 'We never landed on the moon' all of which make no sense to anybody with an IQ above a newt, can all be traced back to one man - Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov. Positive News like this is important.
Consumed 3We already have solid, irrefutable proof that vaccines work. Decades, upon decades, upon decades. Virus after virus.
Erin O'Brien3At some point, a person is going to have to look their adult daughter in the eye as she suffers through horrendous cancer treatment and explain that they didn't trust the vaccine that could have prevented this because a man who proudly admits snorting cocaine from a toilet seat told them not to.
Valerie 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇦2American anti vaxxers probably won’t let their daughters get it. They would rather their daughters get cancer than be told what to do.
kindkind.bsky.social2I wish I could have it before contacting tongue cancer.
This is fantastic news. Sadly too late for my wife, taken by cervical cancer, but it’s wonderful that so many women in future won’t suffer as she did. Brilliant news.
Lesley Parr15I'm sorry for your loss.
Suziey333So sorry to hear that Snowy 💙 I've got twin granddaughters getting theirs soon. They had been listening to the scare stories on tic tok and SM, but put them at ease. Took no convincing. Comparison of 5 secs of pain or going through chemo like their mam did last year for breast cancer 🎀
