Now, NewsTarget has obtained documents from the FDA and other sources (see below) which reveal that the FDA has been well aware for several years that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has no direct link to cervical cancer.

Wrong. The author, Mike Adams, obtained an FDA press release saying that most strains of the HPV have no direct link to cervical cancer.

In it, the FDA says, "The HPV DNA test is not intended to substitute for regular Pap screening. Nor is it intended to screen women under 30 who have normal Pap tests.

Now, NewsTarget has obtained documents from the FDA and other sources (see below) which reveal that the FDA has been well aware for several years that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has no direct link to cervical cancer.

Wrong. The author, Mike Adams, obtained an FDA press release saying that most strains of the HPV have no direct link to cervical cancer.

In it, the FDA says, "The HPV DNA test is not intended to substitute for regular Pap screening. Nor is it intended to screen women under 30 who have normal Pap tests. Although the rate of HPV infection in this group is high, most infections are short-lived and not associated with cervical cancer." (Emphasis added.)

In other words, the FDA knew in 2003 that HPV infections are not associated with cervical cancer.

Somehow, we go from "most infections are...not associated with cervical cancer" to the blanket statement that "HPV infections are not associated with cervical cancer".

According to Wikipedia, there are over 100 strains of HPV. According to the same FDA press release , 13 strains are associated with cervical cancer. It seems to me that the FDA is just repeating common scientific knowledge.

The blatant dishonesty and misrepresentation going in this piece is staggering.
