That's a lot of women. But when you put it percentage wise...there are how many BILLION people in this world? And at least half of them are women. So the chances are that young girl was never going to get cervical cancer anyway.

To put it in perspective that is 274,000 women Now check this:
"The top killer for women is heart disease, which claims nearly 489,000 deaths each year. Heart disease kills more women every year than all types of cancers combined."

So that little girl would have been better off learning proper nutrition (which not only could help prevent heart disease but also cancer as well) and excercise to fend off heart disease.

It's a conundrum for sure.

I have two daughters by the way. Got them both the vaccination. Like most folks I'm scared by what doctors say and tend to blindly follow their advice. Thank God there were no problems.

It was statistically speaking...very probably an unnecessary vaccination. But human nature made me willing to go along with it "just in case"
Those are global estimates. Now Robbie do you really think they are that good at guessing at how many died of what in all of the odd ball third world countries where people do not even see doctors let alone get autopsies.

All they can do is take a guess by using data from the places that keep track, even those numbers are often flawed as not everyone is fully diagnosed properly or gets a chance to die from it (yes had a friend with leukemia who well died by getting hit by a car). Then they take that data and attempt to multiply it properly.

Then when you speak of heart disease, it is called a silent killer in women for many reasons. Big reason is that women just do not get checked out or think about hereditary issues. It is not diet or exercise related, of course eating properly and exercise will probably/more than likely help though. (keep in mind there are those health nuts who do drop dead from a stroke or heart attack, but that shouldn't be a deterrent to good nutrition and exercise either). Anyways back on point. It is the number 1 killer of women but may I bring up that heart disease is not contagious like HPV is. So the more it gets spread around the higher the number can go.
