HPV vaccine developer speaks out against Gardasil, Cervarix
Gardasil and Cervarix | October 27, 2009 12:00 AM

Dr. Diane Harper, the lead researcher in human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine development and director of the University of Minnesota's Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group, was expected to promote the vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination in Reston, Virginia, earlier this month. Instead of promoting the vaccines, however, Dr. Harper pulled the covers off of what appears to be a highly bogus and ethically questionable scheme concocted by Merck to have young girls mandatorily vaccinated in public schools.
