Summary
Today's news was that patient who reportedly died 2 hours after an HPV vaccine had a tumor in her chest and died of that cause. The vaccine was circumstantial.
Analysis
The media is always looking for sensationalism. Too bad. Patients are developing fear of vaccines that is unfounded. Hope that this will blow over. The recall is probably unnecessary.
This software is requiring me to write 500 words before it will post my comment. My purpose in commenting is to bring to people attention the situation and to halt any dispersions on an otherwise breakthrough prevention of a devastating disease. We will soon start vaccinating boys which will further halt the spread of this virus even though the boys(men) don't get sick from it. OK the software says I've typed over 600 words so now it will post.
