> “Our results show that Guillain-Barré is not occurring more often after HPV vaccination than it does in the general population.”
Side note: Even if the vaccination caused all 36 cases described in a two-year period, and even if that were elevated from the normal incidence in the unvaccinated population, HPV causes thousands of deaths annually from cervical cancer. Public health should be a matter of statistics, not anecdotes.
For the family of that girl and her close circle that is the image they have of the vaccine. I'm not saying the vaccine cause paralisis. I'm saying that for her it was the cause, they still don't have another explanation (no gillan-barre, nor wierd infection). Thats why in Colombia just a few people will allow to get that vaccine, out there you will find few cases like the one of my friend, but enough to make most woman reject its aplication.
Its just a view from that population perspective and why it impacts on the acceptance of the drug.
Most probable cause? That’s a bit of hyperbole without extraordinary evidence.
