RFK Jr: "Gardasil is probably the single worst mass vaccine that we've ever seen

The reality

It's SO GOOD that no one vaccinated in England has died from cervical cancer.

In fact it's on the way to eliminating it.

Yes - ELIMINATE CERVICAL CANCER

Don't listen to RFK Jr

1. He has a death wish for most people.

16. He sure acts like it. Also, not very bright

2. NPR: An urgent argument for the HPV vaccine (March 2025)

It's about more than cervical cancer. Already "among the most underutilized recommended vaccines." He is hellbent bent making a tragic situation far, far, far worse.

Chris Riley's symptoms started in the summer of 2021. At first, he didn't think much about them. His throat felt a little sore, and he noticed hardening of his lymph nodes. At 57 years old, Riley was active and healthy. He biked everywhere and didn't even own a car.

Riley, it turned out, had oropharyngeal cancer, which develops in the tonsils or throat. In Riley's case, it had originated in his left tonsil, but by the time it was discovered — after visits to a dentist, a general practitioner, and an ear, nose and throat specialist — it had spread to his lymph nodes.

The cause, according to his doctors, was human papillomavirus, or HPV.

HPV is a virus that can live and replicate in certain cells on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes, including the inner lining of the mouth, throat and genitals. While over 200 types of the virus exist, only a few can lead to cancer, usually many years or decades after exposure.

Nearly everyone who isn't vaccinated against HPV will be infected at some point, though 9 out of 10 infections resolve within two years.

Passed from person to person through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity, HPV is best known for causing cervical cancer, which kills about 4,000 people in the United States every year. But the virus can also lead to warts and other malignancies, including cancer of the throat, anus and genitalia — it's linked to six types of cancers in total.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is responsible for approximately 37,800 cases of cancer in the U.S. each year.

A safe and well-tolerated vaccine can prevent about 90% of such cancers. But in the U.S., HPV vaccines continue to be among the most underutilized recommended vaccines, a tragedy that may worsen if Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump's new secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, tries to discredit them and limit access.

3. I would like to send Bobby Jr to the Congo so he can

find the cure for Ebola. If he'll swim in garbage, why not play nurse to all of the sick people?

[Rebl2]

4. That must

be a really old picture of him because he doesn’t look like that now.

9. It took a while to get that 'catcher's mitt' complexion.

[LudwigPastorius]

12. It looks like there was a "glamour" filter on the video that was captured from.

Either that, or his whale juice and raccoon testicle smoothies have really started working.

[Beartracks]

5. Arguing vaccines shouldn't be given to people who's "risk of dying" from something is "zero"...

... is stupid. That is precisely when vaccines are supposed to be given -- to KEEP that risk at or as close to zero as possible for the rest of their lives.

6. What a nightmare this is.

Sometimes I think I'm going to throw up.

[debsy]

7. He must be heavily invested in our for-profit healthcare industry.

That, and he is insane.

[Orrex]

8. I feel obliged to mention that many on DU opposed Gardasil when it debuted

Their arguments were nearly 100% identical to those of COVID anti-vaxers and very similar to those of ant-vaxers in general.

[progressoid]

10. Yep.

It is interesting that the antivax contingency used to be stronger on the left than the right.

11. Junior's not a doctor, not a scientist. He's clearly

way out of his league when it comes to medical issues.

[struggle4progress]

13. Robby whores for attention

and doesn't care who gets hurt

[purr-rat beauty]

14. We should listen to a guy who snorted coke...

...off toilet seats

Are we fucking stupid or what?

[GenThePerservering]

15. He doesn't understand vaccines nor how they work
