Full #HPVvaccine media blitz last week claiming 90% success preventing #cervicalcancer.
But despite what @DonnellyStephen & @SimonHarrisTD would have you believe - the figures don't always speak for themselves.
1/
#IrishTimes report refers to anonymous "UK study" - no who, where or how.
Note Twitter article headline at odds with that of actual linked article.
If vaccine is indeed 90% effective then why use this news to urge vaxxed women to get screening asap?
2/
BBC ran a similar report that a few years ago claiming "cervical cancer halved in 10 years".
No stats or study to back it up. In fact the claim was invented out of thin air via the word "reportedly".
"new cases of cervical cancer has reportedly halved".
