9. Mark Twain must have seen this coming

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

These numbers are being twisted more than Gumby. It is hard to know what is believable.

One thing is certain: whether or not it's a tiny percentage, we're still talking about roughly 3,700 dead cervical cancer patients every year. That's more than the number of people killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11. And this happens every year. And people are arguing against vaccinations.
