Vaccination Against HPV Is Dangerous And Unnecessary

The Consumer’s Association of Penang (CAP) has repeatedly objected to the

proposal to vaccinate all 13-year-old girls from the human papillomavirus

(HPV) virus, a sexually transmitted virus because it is unnecessary,

unscientific and unsafe. Despite numerous objections by many quarters, a

sum of RM150mil is to be spent annually by the Government beginning this

year on HPV vaccinations for an estimated 300,000 girls in the country as

protection from only two of the 40 different cervical cancers causing

HPV. The risk of cervical cancers itself has been blown out of

proportion. It is a known fact that about 90% of all HPV infections are

removed by the immune system within two years. This in itself makes the

vaccine irrelevant and redundant. The vaccine itself is highly

controversial with an unusually high incidence of adverse reactions and

53 reported deaths in the US alone. This completely unnecessary and

dangerous vaccine’s safety and efficacy have never been established in

Malaysia. We urge the Health Ministry to revoke its ill-conceived plan to

subject our children to the vaccine. Since these vaccines only cover some

high-risk types of HPV, experts still recommend regular pap smear

screening even after vaccination. This only goes to show that screening

remains relevant and is undeniably a better method of prevention than

vaccination.
