    This isn’t even really new information. I wrote a paper in college about HPV vaccines being used to prevent cervical cancer, and that was about 18 years ago now. And the data I wrote my paper on wasn’t even that new at the time, either.

    Though, it’s always good to see more long-term studies like this. It just backs up what we’ve known for ages now: Vaccines work.

      Wrote a paper in college on cervical cancer, turned into a paper on vacines when I found out every cervical cancer biopsy ever taken has shown signs of HPV infection.
