Within "cervical cancer" theres are many types, in case you didn't know, bruh.

People who get "lung cancer" can get various forms. The article isn't taking about eliminating cervical cancer entirely, not even the one caused by HPV.

Which if you hadnt read, the article is arguing these deaths are mostly preventable in poorer countries as HPV has had a long awareness (and effective) campaign already, it's not even primarily about cancer. The headline sucks.
