Line 33: − A new study looking at the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in girls and women before and after the introduction of the HPV vaccine shows a significant reduction in vaccine-type HPV in U.S. teens. The study, published in [the June issue of] The Journal of Infectious Diseases reveals that since the vaccine was introduced in 2006, vaccine-type HPV prevalence decreased 56 percent among female teenagers 14-19 years of age. <ref>http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2013/p0619-hpv-vaccinations.html</ref>+ + + + +

== Harm Exceeds Benefit ==
The HPV vaccine has caused many millions of dollars in health injuries, including at least two deaths.<ref>http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/feds-pay-millions-due-to-deadly-hpv-shot/</ref> Most of the victims have still be unable to recover any compensation for their injuries, despite promises that they would have that right.
In a journal article not made available to the public, there is a claim that HPV has been effective in reducing the incidence of a few strains of HPV in teenage girls, but the same article found no long-term benefit in adults. A The study, published in the June 17, 2013 edition of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, simply compares the incidence of a few strains of HPV in a few thousand patients before and after 2006, when the HPV vaccine became available. The study found no reduction in incidence of four strains of HPV among adults, but a 56 reduction in these particular strains in teenager girls 14-19 years old.<ref>http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2013/p0619-hpv-vaccinations.html</ref>
