Many of the deaths reported to VAERS involving Gardisil, for example, resulted from car accidents. A few factual corrections:

Cervarix was approved for use in the U.S. last week.

Gardisil protects against 4 strains of HPV: the two that cause 70% of all HPV-related cervical cancers (HPV-16 & -18) and the 2 that cause more than 90% of all genital warts (HPV-6 & -11).

Finally, I think it is important to note that just because a death has been reported to VAERS, that doesn't mean there is actually a link between the death and the vaccine. Many of the deaths reported to VAERS involving Gardisil, for example, resulted from car accidents.
