    Not on the Chris Hayes show. Well, no one's watching. They lost all their viewers. No one, this is, this is a topic for podcasts. Podcast is where it's at now. We'll wrap up this clip. Well, this clip is from another sketchy vaccine that we just identified as sketchy because it made no sense what they were selling to us. And that is the HPV. The HPV vaccine, which launched during the show, we saw the marketing, they were going through freshmen dormitories.

    That's okay. So we remember. The HPV thing was a joke. They were hanging bags, goodie bags on doorknobs of freshmen girls in colleges. I mean, it, it was so, um, I don't want, people were very skeptical of it, but now we have finally, after 10 years. Well, wasn't some politician or wasn't it Rumsfeld or somebody, one of these? Oh, Rick Perry, Rick Perry, Rick Perry. He was all for it. He was the one that was pushing it. 

    It wasn't one of them. Big investor. I don't remember that. But here we go. Finally, after 10 years, we have the results. The results are in of the HPV vaccine. So researchers at MUSC have been studying cervical cancer for nearly 10 years, looking at cervical cancer cases and what can be done to improve the HPV vaccination rates in the community. Now, the study, like you mentioned, is groundbreaking for the public health community, because it's the first time researchers are seeing a decline in cervical cancer deaths. 

    Now, what do you think the decline is in these cervical cancer deaths? I have no idea. They'll give you absolute numbers, not just percentages. Oh, good. Real numbers coming. Now, it's focused on women younger than 25 years old and is the first group to likely have benefited from the HPV vaccination. I was able to speak with one of the co-leaders on the study. He says each year in the US, they identify nearly 12,500 cases of cervical cancer and 4,000 cervical cancer deaths. He also shared the benefits, the direct benefits of the vaccination. The most important benefit is whether the vaccine 

    has led to prevention of cancer and whether the vaccine has ultimately led to prevention of deaths caused by cancer, cervical cancer deaths. So we estimated cervical cancer death rate in the US among the first birth cohort who is likely to have benefited from HPV vaccination. And what was amazing is that in last six years, there was 62% drop in cervical cancer mortality. That's 15% per year decline. 15 people?
