Big Pharma and HPV

I am thankful that I live in a time and place when many of the diseases of the past have been conquered by good vaccination programs. However, the recent hysterical hype over H1N1 just turns me off. More people die of seasonal flus than of H1N1.

But this story is over the top. Manufacturers of vaccines to protect girls from HPV are pushing hard to have all school age girls vaccinated, without, it seems, to have run adequate clinical trials! Shame! Shame!
