HPV Vaccine: A Strong Criticism from Leading Israeli OBGYN Doctor

The doctor thinks otherwise.
“ ‘If the HPV vaccine, however, were proven to prevent cervical cancer, that would be something else,’ Beller continued. ‘But it hasn’t. The US Food and Drug Administration checks for safety of the vaccine, but (does not check) for efficacy. There is no evidence that the vaccine protects against cervical cancer, only (that it) counters the virus itself. No decrease in invasive cervical cancer... in the vaccinated population has been documented so far. Australia was the first country to implement a school based mass vaccination program with Gardasil in April 2007.’ The World Health Organization in 2009 recommended the use of HPV vaccines for primary prevention of cervical cancer. But there is no evidence that prophylactic (preventative) vaccination against HPV types 16 and 18 reduces the incidence of cervical cancer (1).”

Well it's necessarily going to take decades to confirm the long-term effectiveness in prevention of cervical cancer. Considering that mass vaccination only began in 2007 and these cancers may take decades to appear after initial exposure to the virus.
He's basically asking for a multi-decade-long clinical trial before it can be used en masse. A lot of cervical cancers could potentially be prevented by not waiting for decades for such results.
