Very excited to have this preprint out in the world! Let us know what you think!

Reposting because this story is so wild:

Despite findings showing widespread contamination, her research was stopped by executives who kept the information secret
I can’t get enough of these studies about how amazingly effective the HPV vaccine is at preventing cancer. What an extraordinary public health intervention. Also thank you to the editors who are rightly illustrating stories about vaccines not with needles, but with people who are smiling and happy.
