      No, you're literally just misreading the table. Do you know what seropositive and PCR positive for HPV means?

      your confidence interval BS won't work with me. you know full well that decisions about data are never made based on statistical tests alone. you don't get to create cancer and act like it's a chance event when you claiming to prevent it.

      I'll take that as a no. A confidence interval gives you an idea of the expected values if you were to re run this test again in a different population. Can you see how this one goes all the way up to 8.8%?

      you're out of my league if you think I'm going to accept your BS excuse. Peter Goetzsche shares my concern about the cancer CREATION in HPV vaccine trials. https://www.actasanitaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/bmjebm-2018-111012.full_.pdf …

      That's not what that says but I'm not entirely surprised that you'd be a bit confused

      the stuff you write sounds incompetent brainwave. i know because I've read some of your other agenda driven nonsense and wondered whether your lack of basic knowledge was intentional lol.

      Well, I'll leave you with this description and the advice to take an introductory statistics class if you want to try and discuss scientific research without being factually incorrect 👍 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval …

          i have way more knowledge than you if you think decisions are based on confidence intervals alone and you focus on an upper bound of 8% when the lower bound is lower than -46% and the effect measure is -46% (creating cancer).
