  I am not in medicine but it's an anti vaccine website so I'd take it with a grain of salt

  and the NY Times ran this the other day:

  and this too...

   https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2012/05/03/here-is-how-we-know-gardasil-has-not-killed-100-people/

   

  I feel like I can trust the NYT and Forbes to fully vet their sources

  I tend to agree with this article. 

  https://www.pop.org/content/merck-researcher-admits-gardasil-guards-against-almost-nothing-985 

  Except for the last paragraph. It would be great if we spent as much time and money trying to vaccinate children against diseases that actually killed them, but of course those kids are not in the U.S.

  I am in medicine, and I wouldn't put any stock in anything published on an anti-vax website. Rule one of evaluating medical information is to look for an unbiased source/study. The suggestion that cervical cancer is uncommon or not dangerous is ridiculous. See the following:

  In 2009 (the most recent year numbers are available)?

  • 12,357 women in the United States were diagnosed with cervical cancer.*²
  • 3,909 women in the United States died from cervical cancer.*²

  (from https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/cervical/statistics/)
