“The headline for this story is not a typo. The push to sell more vaccines and pharmaceuticals has now reached a level of absurdity that should astonish any intelligent person. The mainstream media is now reporting — and I’m not kidding — that young boys should be vaccinated with Gardasil (the drug now being pushed onto teenage girls to supposedly prevent cervical cancer) based on the idea that if they have oral sex with girls who carry HPV, they might get throat cancer! This is an incredible stretch of scientific credibility, and it’s such a preposterous marketing campaign that only Big Pharma could have come up with it. It’s obviously nothing more than a massive scare campaign to try to dream up some way to market this high-profit vaccine to a whole new group of customers who don’t need it: teenage boys!” (08/29/07)
