HPV vaccine is exactly the type of vaccines that made me extremely skeptical of big pharma, well before the pandemic. For the record, both my kids are fully vaccinated with every non-optional vaccine, including the first shots of COVID vaccine. I now regret getting the COVID vaccine for them and feel very guilty about it.

When my children were infants, the doctors and nurses were pushing this HPV vaccine, saying it was safe. I questioned why infants should get vaccinated for a sexually transmitted virus including boys who can't get cervical cancer, and the response was that it was the moral thing to do. It sounded like nonsense to me, and I said if they get the vaccine, it will be after they enter puberty.

After a bit more investigation, it turned out that the chances of my daughter developing any type of problem from HPV infection was exceedingly low, and the chance of getting cervical cancer was even lower than that. So the idea that EVERY SINGLE CHILD in the US should get HPV vaccine smelled like big pharma trying to make billions by getting it added to the vaccine schedule.

Big pharma greed plus the laws protecting them from any lawsuits makes vaccines the perfect breeding ground for useless but potentially harmful vaccines pushed on hundreds of millions of people. The COVID vaccine post Omicron is another perfect example of this. This article just foments my opposition to anything new because big pharma is fundamentally untrustworthy and big pharma greed has done a huge disservice to the world because people are less and less apt to trust any new medications now.
