      Rather, you could argue that women with higher education were more willing to be vaccinated against HPV, and they were also having children at a later age. That sounds much more plausible than claiming the vaccine causes infertility.

      Take a look at this graph, published in the @nytimes about a year ago. Let me clearly state what it shows: women with college degrees get their first baby later than women without a college degree.

      If you interview women aged 25-29 to look at pregnancy rates, that means you are deliberately leaving out women who did not have their first baby YET.

      The way the author carefully chose the age group to be limited to young women, together with the significant difference in % college degrees between vaccinated vs unvaccinated women suggests this is a very biased, non-scientific study.

      Also, make sure to read this other very critical review of this paper, written by the amazing Orac aka @gorskon :https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/06/13/antivaccine-pseudoscience-about-hpv-vaccination-gayle-delong/ …

      In which Orac reveals that the lone author of this paper and the people she lists in the acknowledgments are active anti-vaxxers, who might have some bias in reporting certain results or leaving out other data.

      Also note that the title of the paper states "A lowered probability of pregnancy in females in the USA aged 25–29 who received a human papillomavirus vaccine injection" which is not wrong, but very misleading because it leaves out the most important confounding factor: education.

      What is completely scientifically incorrect is to use this paper to state that the HPV vaccine causes infertility. It does not. #Debunked

      We did additional analyses of this data and presented the abstract at SER earlier this summer. Hope to get it under review soon. Our analyses contradict DeLong's.
