Australia just quietly made medical history… because we listened to science.

Zero cervical cancer cases diagnosed in Australian women under 25 in 2021... the first time since national records began in 1982.

Z E R O.

The newly-released 2025 cervical cancer report confirms we’re still heading in the right direction and that Australia remains on track to become the first country in the world to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035.

How did we do it?

Not by drinking alkaline water. Not by sharing Rumble videos about “Big Pharma”. Not by screaming about tyranny on Telegram. Not by drinking aged urine.

We did it through early and widespread HPV vaccination (introduced nationally in 2007), better cervical screening (HPV testing instead of old Pap smears) and public health access that actually works.

Vaccines prevented infections that cause cancer. Screenings caught early changes before cancer developed.

Simple. Evidence-based. Life-saving.

There’s still more to do... Indigenous women face disproportionately higher cervical cancer rates, that’s not a science problem, that’s an access and equity problem, and we must address it urgently.

But let’s zoom out.

This is what progress looks like...
Science found the cause.
We rolled out the solution.
We protected a generation.
And now we’re set to wipe out a cancer entirely.

Meanwhile, the same people who said HPV vaccines were “microchips” are still arguing about chemtrails.

Science: 1
Cervical cancer: 0
Cookers: still Googling “cervix location???”

Aussies, let's keep vaccinating, keep screening, keep winning.
