Yeah, I&#x27;m going to go ahead and group you with every other dangerous anti-vaxxer:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;06&#x2F;04&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;carroll-douglas-hpv-vaccine&#x2F;index.html?iref=allsearch" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;06&#x2F;04&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;carroll-douglas-hpv-va...</a><p>&gt; Such cancer still causes the death of 4,000 women each year in the United States. It&#x27;s estimated that about 15,000 HPV-associated cancers could be prevented each year by the vaccine. HPV is, unfortunately, often transmitted through sexual activity. It&#x27;s the cause of genital warts, and it&#x27;s an extremely common sexually transmitted infection.<p>&gt; The vaccine is safe. By the summer of 2012, more than 46 million doses of the vaccine had been given in the United States -- almost all to girls because of early awareness of HPV&#x27;s link to cervical cancer -- and adverse events from vaccines are closely monitored.<p>&gt; Moreover, there is growing evidence that the recent increase in cancers of the head and neck are also associated with HPV infection. A recent study of more than 1,300 patients with oral cancer found that more than 55% of them were infected with HPV.
