Then you do understand that this will element all the HPV variants. Which isn't nothing. 95% of all cervical cancers.
You are trying to sound smart by being a pedantic contrarian.
You broke the code lol.
95% is the low estimate, the WHO says it's 99%.
Edit: I am wrong, the WHO also says 95%. I don’t know why I thought they said 99%. Regardless, almost everyone says 95% or more.
I do understand that this helps eliminate some of the variants. That's not what the headline is saying.
Why not make it an article about HPV that would help with cervical cancer instead of a cancer article about HPV? Because clicks. It still wouldn't eliminate 94, or 99% of cervical cancers, only HPV ones.. Eliminate HPV doesn't sound as good, we can't even eliminate measles.
It says 94% of cancers occur in those countries. That's a far cry from what youre implying.
Edit: I wouldn't call bitching about cancer titles being blown of out proportion "contrarian" either
