VAX 2 STOP CANCER

RFK Jr.’s fight against vaccines isn’t just dangerous—it’s profitable for him. As Caroline Kennedy points out, he stands to gain financially from an HPV vaccine lawsuit while promoting misinformation that denies people access to a life-saving vaccine. HPV vaccination protects 90% of HPV cancers, yet anti-vaccine rhetoric continues to put lives at risk. Every year, over 200,000 children lose their mothers due to a lack of vaccines and screening. Science saves lives—misinformation costs them. Link for more info ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ei9RVibU #health #vaccinesafety #rfkjr #hpv #vaccinessavelives

🌍 The World Health Organization (WHO) has an ambitious and achievable plan to eliminate cervical cancer as a global public health problem. Here’s the timeline and strategy: 2020: The WHO launched the Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer. The goal? To reduce cases to fewer than 4 per 100,000 women per year. 🎯 2030 Targets: By this milestone year, every country should aim to achieve: ✅ 90% of girls fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by age 15 ✅ 70% of women screened for cervical cancer with a high-performance test by age 35 and again by age 45 ✅ 90% of women diagnosed with cervical disease receiving treatment 🔬 What It Means: If we can achieve these targets, cervical cancer could be virtually eliminated within the next century! It’s not just a dream—it’s a reality within our grasp, thanks to advancements in vaccines, screenings, and treatments. 💡 How You Can Help: ✔️ Vaccinate your children against HPV at age 9-12 ✔️ Get screened regularly for cervical cancer ✔️ Spread awareness and advocate for access to vaccines and screenings worldwide Together, we can create a future where cervical cancer is a thing of the past!❤️ • • • • • #EndCervicalCancer #HPVAwareness #CervicalHealth #HPV #hpvvaccine #WHO #healthmatters #vaccineswork #GlobalHealth World Health Organization

Minority women face significantly higher rates of cervical cancer and worse outcomes compared to others, largely due to systemic barriers like limited access to healthcare, lower rates of HPV vaccination, and reduced availability of preventive screenings. These disparities lead to later-stage diagnoses and higher mortality rates in communities that are already underserved. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The HPV vaccine is a safe, effective way to prevent cervical cancer, and regular Pap smears and HPV testing can detect issues early, when they’re most treatable. By prioritizing education, increasing healthcare access, and advocating for health equity, we can protect women in every community and reduce these preventable disparities. Let’s end cervical cancer, together! • • • • • #HPVAwareness #HealthEquity #CervicalCancerPrevention #MinorityHealth #HPv #HPVvaccine

Let’s stop cervical cancer before it starts. 🗓️Talk to your doctor about getting vaccinated and screened. • • • • • #hpv #vaccines #HPVAwareness #PreventCervicalCancer #CervicalHealth #CCAM
