“The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is funding a scientist who also is a paid consultant for Merck to conduct research on how to increase teen uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, documents obtained by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request revealed.” It just so happens that Merck is the ONLY pharma company to produce/distribute/sell the HPV Gardasil vaccine in the United States. Hmmm. That doesn’t stink at all.
The grant’s principal investigator, Noel Brewer, Ph.D., a psychologist and professor in the Department of Health Behavior at the UNC Gillings School of Public Health, consults for Merck and is also the recipient of commercial research grants from Merck, Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The grant is focused on further developing “Announcement Approach Training,” which involves having providers skip the step of discussing with families in “open-ended conversation” whether or not they want their child vaccinated for HPV and instead “presume” the family wants the vaccine and announce the child will receive it as if it were a routine part of the office visit.
Brewer and others’ previous research has shown this method reduces the time a provider needs to spend talking with their patients and increases vaccine uptake.
“CHD’s search of USAspending.gov identified more than 50 grants totaling more than $40 million awarded by the HHS to universities, healthcare systems and departments of public health to increase HPV vaccine uptake. Two of the smaller grants came from the U.S. Department of Defense rather than HHS. All of the grants — awarded since 2009, with most awarded since 2016 — fund projects either to test or to implement different methods to change people’s behaviors at the community, provider and patient level with the goal of getting more young people to take the shot.”
This article in its entirety is fascinating. It is a great example of how they have already deployed coercive narrative and dialogues to sway patients opinions long before the rona jab ever entered the center stage. How many other medical procedures does this happen with? Many. The power of persuasion and coercion by the “almighty physician who would NEVER steer me wrong” has created the sick and poor health world we live in now.
They spend more money on influencing or bullying and mandating people into taking their products than they do safety and effectiveness of the products. In 2007 shortly after HPV vax approval Rick Perry Tx gov did an executive order to mandate this vaccine for girls 11-12 or six grade in order to attend school. Of course he had deep ties to pharma and big donations. The legislature pushed back and put in law to reverse his order but I’m not so sure we would get the same result today. Pharma has corrupted everyone.
Dr. F, this is just so appalling! Forty million to cause injury and enrich the rich! My vaccine post has a section on Gardasil and how it was OK'd to help Merck recoup losses from Vioxx lawsuits. A completely useless vaccine! https://liarsworld.substack.com/p/vaccines-are-rubbish
