Or in other words solutions that are applied have a possibility of working. The solution of no genital contact with others isn't inferior, it wasn't applied.

I find it interesting that, AFAIA HPV is a sexually transmitted disease but that, certainly in the UK, healthcare professionals seemingly lie (by omission at least) in order to further vaccination.

Also, that insistence on screening seems likely to have been a major cause of widespread infection (eg https://obpmedical.com/resource-center/blog/non-sexual-trans...), though I've never heard of this from a major news outlet?

It amazes me that until 2016 it seems no-one bother to check that sterilised reusable gynaecological instruments were actually sterile, mind-blowing.

I mean, you can't just leave a claim like that dangling. A source would be ideal, but at least explain the claim of what the lie is would be nice.

You may get less downvotes if :

- you link to peer reviewed science, rather than the manufacturer of devices who have reasons to profit from misleading information (hint : there's a reason you haven't heard about it from major news outlets).

- you back up inflammatory statements (like "healthcare professionals seemingly lie (by omission at least) in order to further vaccination.") with some evidence, particularly where the common narrative disagrees with your statement.

- You avoid misleading arguments ("The solution of no genital contact with others isn't inferior, it wasn't applied" - this is misleading, many have attempted to apply it, it's their attempts that have failed).

The US has thankfully provided us with more data on the effectiveness of abstinence only education than we could ever need. Just check the data on teenage pregnancies in the Deep South.
