January 21, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) —A “frustrating and embarrassing” process has led a team of New Zealand researchers to retract a 2018 study that claimed the HPV vaccine significantly lessened chances of preterm birth and pre-eclampsia.
The paper, “Association of prior HPV vaccination with reduced preterm birth: A population based study,” was published in the journal Vaccine.
The retraction notice reads as follows:
This paper is being retracted at the request of the authors. The authors report that there was an incorrect interpretation of the odds ratio meaning that instead of HPV vaccination potentially being protective, there may be an associated increased risk of preterm delivery. The authors believe that an increased risk of preterm delivery is unlikely and not consistent with the evidence to date. Further, the authors have not been able to access the original source data as per protocol to check the data validity. The authors wish to repeat the study to reassure themselves that there were no data processing or other errors in the databases in order to reach definitive conclusions.
