“The MVP of the game was a clump of grass.”
Former President Donald Trump has consistently attracted large crowds to his rallies, but he has also faced opposition, especially in blue cities like New York. Similarly, President Joe Biden is now experiencing similar treatment, this time from pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
As reported by Fox News, Biden faced protests upon his return home, with hundreds of demonstrators accusing him of genocide for supporting Israel’s right to self-defense against attacks by the Palestinian-backed group Hamas, recognized as a terrorist organization by the State Department.
“Biden, Biden, you can’t hide! We charge you with genocide!” the crowd chanted ahead of the president’s arrival.
Protesters gathered to urge President Biden to advocate for a cease-fire in Israel. Left-wing activist Linda Sarsour, a child of Palestinian immigrants, addressed the demonstration. Both the Biden administration and the Israeli government have agreed to a daily cease-fire for aid delivery to Gaza, but they oppose a permanent cessation of hostilities.
Additionally, approximately 240 hostages, including ten Americans, are still held in Gaza by Hamas fighters, who initiated a surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7. Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a member of the progressive “Squad,” accused Biden of complicity in “genocide” in a video posted on social media, demanding immediate action to halt “the genocide of the Palestinian people” or face consequences in the 2024 presidential election.
“The majority of the American people are not with you on this one. #CeasefireNow,” she said on X, formerly Twitter.
The scenes in the video showed protests in various cities in the nation, with people chanting slogans like “No peace on stolen land!” Illinois “Free! Free! Palestine!” and Michigan “From the river to the sea.”
“We will remember in 2024,” she said before the words “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people” appeared on the screen.
Biden’s approval rating, especially among Democratic voters, has experienced a notable decline, particularly in relation to his stance on Israel. A recent Gallup survey reported by Axios reveals a significant 11-point drop within a month, reaching a record low of 75 percent among Democrats. This decline is largely attributed to concerns and sentiments related to Biden’s support for the state of Israel.
“Biden is at risk of alienating members of his own party with his unequivocal support for Israel, which has carried out a weeks-long bombardment and total siege of Gaza in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks,” Axios reported.
The findings follow Gallup’s February discovery that, for the first time in their polling history, more Democrats expressed sympathy towards Palestinians than Israelis. Despite Biden’s unwavering backing of Israel, his visit to the country, and his call on Congress to allocate $14 billion in aid, recent national surveys indicate that these actions did not result in a significant net increase in political support domestically, as reported by Axios.
“The divide is particularly stark between generations: Less than half (48%) of Gen Z and millennials believe the U.S. should publicly voice support for Israel, according to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll,” Axios continued.
“Biden’s approval in October’s Gallup poll fell four points to match a record low of 37%, driven by his slide among Democrats and a four-point drop-off among independents (35%). His approval among Republicans remained steady at 5%,” the outlet continued.
“Joe Biden has single-handedly alienated almost every Arab American and Muslim American voter in Michigan,” Democratic state Rep. Alabas Farhat told NBC News last week.
“The Biden administration and Democrats as a whole are going to have to do a lot of work to rebuild some level of trust with my community,” Farhat added. “It’s never too late to do the right thing.”
Whoa…

“She has done a wonderful job as a Democrat running the RNC.”
The Democratic Party is experiencing internal divisions regarding Israel, with a faction declaring war against the terrorist group Hamas. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel last month, resulting in over 1,400 casualties and 250 individuals being taken hostage.
The party’s far-left wing seems to be supporting Hamas and their Palestinian supporters. In contrast, more moderate Democrats, including figures like Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and former President Barack Obama, are standing in solidarity with Israel, emphasizing its right to self-defense.
“Last week, while speaking at an Obama Foundation event in Chicago, the 44th president addressed the Israel-Hamas war saying that both sides of the conflict harbored some semblance of responsibility,” The Western Journal reported on Thursday.
Obama said: “What Hamas did was horrific and there’s no justification for it.”
But then he added: “And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable. If you want to solve the problem, you have to take in the whole truth, and you have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree.”

Dershowitz unloaded on Obama during his “Dershow” podcast following those remarks.
“You can’t make those kinds of comparisons Barack Obama. I have to tell you what you did is just despicable. It’s beneath contempt,” said the professor emeritus, who is Jewish and has been a strong defender of Israel for decades.
“Whatever respect I had for you, I have absolutely lost. Fortunately, so have many other Americans lost respect for you,” he added.
“I’m ashamed that I was your friend. I’m ashamed that I invited you to my birthday party. I’m ashamed that I accepted your invitation to the Oval Office. I’m ashamed that I allowed you to fool me into thinking that you actually supported Israel. You do not,” Dershowitz noted further.
The lawyer, who has maintained allegiance to the Democratic Party throughout his life, anticipated that the party would face consequences for Obama’s statements if he actively campaigns for Democratic candidates next year.
“It was not a slip of the tongue. It was a very carefully contrived statement, trying to create a sense of equality and moral unclarity and moral comparison between something that can never be excused – murder, rape, beheadings – and something that is controversial politically and that you, Barack Obama, didn’t do very much to help the Palestinians get out of,” Dershowitz said.
“You have been an enemy of justice, an enemy to Israel, and an enemy to the Jewish people, and an enemy to decency. And I’m embarrassed I ever thought as highly of you as I obviously did. I was fooled by you. I’ll never be fooled again,” Dershowitz concluded.
He elaborated further during a Sunday morning appearance on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo.
“First, he said the occupation is unbearable. He just lied through his teeth. There is no occupation of Gaza,” Dershowitz said. “If life is unbearable in Gaza, it is because Hamas has been in control. The kleptocracy. People have stolen billions of dollars that were intended for humanitarian aid and put it in their own personal bank accounts in Qatar.”
Israel withdrew its forces and citizens from Gaza in 2005, effectively putting an end to the occupation. The subsequent year saw Hamas securing a majority in the enclave’s parliament, and by 2007, the group took control of the strip, removing it from the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority.
Dershowitz contended to Bartiromo that while Obama stated, “the attacks by Hamas are not justifiable,” he, in fact, justified them. Dershowitz argued that if life were genuinely unbearable, which he disputed, then any action could be taken to make it bearable. He asserted that Obama’s stance contributed to the risks faced not only by Israelis but also by Americans, suggesting that the threat could extend to a theater near them.

“Be assured not only is President’s Trump base not going anywhere – we are growing. We represent America First common sense – voters from many groups are flocking to us.”
Residents of a small Michigan town have orchestrated a recall election, resulting in the ousting of the entire local government in response to their support for the construction of an electric vehicle (EV) plant linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Green Charter Township witnessed the removal of its five incumbent board members in a special election on Tuesday, replaced by five new candidates. The swift action by the new leaders included changing the locks on the township’s main government building shortly after the vote.
The community, with a population of 3,219, leans Republican, as reflected in the surrounding county’s 22-percentage-point margin in favor of President Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election.
The recall petition accused town officials of disregarding voter concerns about Gotion, a China-linked company planning to establish a $2.3 billion EV plant in the town. Despite having backing from Volkswagen, Gotion’s parent company is based in China and has ties to the country’s ruling Communist Party.
Following the election, the displaced incumbents swiftly gathered their belongings and vacated the premises, as reported live by NewsNation’s Brian Entin from the now-empty government building on Wednesday.
“This is something Americans all across the country almost fantasize about, booting out their local government if they don’t like them and they’re not getting the job done,” he told Elizabeth Vargas Reports.
In unseating Green Charter’s town board, the voters also conveyed a message to President Joe Biden, who has been actively promoting electric vehicle (EV) plants and green initiatives as crucial to his economic agenda, facing criticism for its lackluster performance. The increasing global dominance of China in the advanced batteries and green technology supply chain raises concerns about the impact of partnerships in this sector on U.S. interests.
Biden’s emphasis on EVs raises questions about the potential heavy reliance on imported components from China, posing a threat to jobs in the United States. Gotion’s plans for EV plants in Michigan and Illinois have attracted attention from congressional Republicans, urging a security review by the Treasury Department due to Gotion’s alleged ties to China’s Communist Party.
Public filings indicate that Gotion, based in Fremont, California, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gotion High-Tech Co, Ltd, a multinational headquartered in Hefei, China. Gotion High-Tech’s articles of association, updated in 2022, mention the maintenance of a Chinese Communist Party unit tasked with implementing the Party’s guidelines within the company.
While the company has publicly denied allegiance to the Communist Party, recent moves in China have increased the CCP’s influence in Chinese firms, often requiring the establishment of a party unit as per legal requirements. Gotion emphasized its multinational status, rejecting political posturing, and reiterated its commitment to creating thousands of jobs in Michigan.
Local residents in Green Charter expressed concerns about the potential communist connections associated with Gotion’s planned plant.
“My family members fought communism, and you’re bringing it right here,” one unnamed voter told NewsNation.
Resident Corri Riebow, who has no experience in politics, ran for town clerk in the recall election, defeating incumbent Janet Clark.
“We just plan on making it as difficult as possible for them to continue their process,” Riebow said of the new board’s attitude toward Gotion.
“They don’t even have a site planned, they don’t have permits yet, so we’re not their friend,” she added.
Also ousted in the recall were Supervisor Jim Chapman, Treasurer Denise MacFarlane, and Trustees Roger E. Carroll and Dale Jernstadt.
In September, Republican Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and GOP representatives from Michigan and Illinois penned a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen regarding the CCP-linked company. The letter calls on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to scrutinize Gotion’s connections to China’s Communist Party.
Lawmakers argued that despite Germany’s Volkswagen AG being the largest single shareholder, holding approximately 30 percent of the parent company Gotion High-Tech, China maintained “effective control” through various individual shareholders. These shareholders, including the company’s founder Li Zhen and his son, were alleged members of CCP organizations.
The lawmakers further claimed that most of Gotion High-Tech’s other major shareholders were owned by entities linked to the Chinese government, and the company’s bylaws commit to implementing the significant strategic decisions of the party. They asserted that this should prompt a review, and if necessary, Gotion High-Tech’s divestment, particularly since President Biden has identified electric vehicles and batteries as critical components of transportation infrastructure.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy directly questioned President Joe Biden about a recent 2024 presidential poll while on the South Lawn. Biden responded, “You don’t read the polls, obviously!” He went on to mention other polls showing him ahead in swing states and accused the media of emphasizing unfavorable polls.
Doubts about Biden’s age, dissatisfaction with his economic handling, and various concerns have led to his trailing former President Donald Trump in five of the six crucial battleground states, according to The New York Times and Siena College polls. In Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, Biden trails by margins ranging from four to ten percentage points, with Wisconsin being the exception, where he leads by two points. The average across these states is 48 to 44 percent in favor of Trump.
The Times/Siena poll reflects widespread discontent, with respondents stating that Biden’s policies have personally impacted them negatively. The survey exposes various concerns about Biden, including worries about his aging and mental capacity. Sixty-two percent of respondents believe he lacks the “mental sharpness” required for effective leadership.

The poll also reveals the erosion of the coalition that supported Biden in his election, with increased competition among demographic groups that favored him in 2020, driven by the perception that the nation is heading in the wrong direction, as indicated by two-thirds of voters.
Biden’s lead among Hispanic voters is now in the single digits, his advantage in urban areas is half of Trump’s in rural areas, and voters under thirty only slightly prefer him. Men favor Trump twice as much as women, reversing the gender advantage seen in recent Democratic victories, though women still support Biden.
Black voters, traditionally a strong Democratic and Biden support base, now give Trump 22 percent of the vote in these states, a historic shift for a Republican in modern times. Trump leads by six points in Nevada, five in Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan, and four in Pennsylvania. Biden has a two-point advantage in Wisconsin.
Trump promptly shared the poll results on his Truth Social platform. Despite Trump’s legal challenges, the poll suggests he is positioned for success in the 2024 election, potentially securing over 300 Electoral College votes if the trends persist.
The findings indicate a slow racial realignment between the two parties, with Biden trailing more in diverse swing states. A majority of voters expressing dissatisfaction with the country’s direction vent their resentment at the president.
Despite Trump’s legal issues, voters across income levels believe his policies benefited them, while Biden’s policies are perceived as detrimental. On economic matters, Trump is preferred by a significant margin of 59 percent to 37 percent, reflecting the largest difference on any issue, transcending demographic groups.

“The fact that anyone would even listen to Hillary at this point is absolutely insane”
(SNews) – Leading experts are warning the public that Bill Gates’s latest scheme to vaccinate tens of millions of young people will have devastating consequences.
Gates is funding a campaign to inject over 80 million young girls with the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
The scheme is being funded by two of the Microsoft co-founder’s organizations – the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
While announcing more than $600 million in investment in the campaign, Gavi said the initiative will avert “over 1.4 million future deaths.”
Gavi claims that the $600M from Gates’s organizations will help to reach its goal of vaccinating 86 million girls in “low- and middle-income countries” by 2025.
As we’ve seen before from Gates-funded projects, targeting people in “low- and middle-income countries” usually refers to the impoverished citizens of third-world nations being used as guinea pigs ahead of a global rollout of the plan.
The Gates Foundation co-founded Gavi and is one of its four permanent board members.
UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund), the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO) — whose second-largest donor is Gates — hold the other permanent seats.
Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Clinton Health Access Initiative also sits on the board.
James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., a critic of the global HPV vaccine campaign, suggested mass vaccination will cause a devastating number of serious side effects among young girls.
The injections will be rolled out even though there are still no studies showing the HPV vaccine prevents cancer.
Despite the lack of scientific evidence, vaccine makers and public health officials still claim the shots are “safe and effective.”
Lyons-Weiler, head of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge, told The Defender:
In 2009, we were told the Severe Adverse Event [SAE] rate of HPV vaccines was 6.5%.
But a study we published in Science, Public Health Policy & The Law showed that the adverse events profile of the HPV vaccine is far worse than has been reported.
Unleashing this vaccine on millions of girls and young women will lead to a mass casualty event these countries do not now have, and do not need.
SAE’s will occur at the rate of 65,000 per million women vaccinated, and the claimed net benefits of the vaccine are just not there.
Earlier this month, Nigeria became the latest country in Africa to promote HPV vaccines.
The nation has introduced the vaccine into its routine immunization program.
The government also announced an initial drive to vaccinate 7.7 million girls.
The plan will reach the largest number of people yet in a single round of HPV vaccination in Africa.
Gavi said Nigeria’s initiative would kick off with a five-day mass vaccination drive in schools and communities in 16 of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Phase 2 of the campaign will launch in the rest of the country in May 2024.
UNICEF, Gavi, the WHO, and other “unnamed partners” are providing financial support so Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health can offer the vaccines at no charge across the country.
Gavi is co-financing vaccine purchases and providing technical support.
As part of the scheme, the WHO paid to train workers and set up vaccination sites.
UNICEF is providing 15 million vaccines, infrastructure for cold storage, and logistical support.
The United Nations agency is also running radio and TV ads “in multiple local languages to dispel misinformation and rumors,” the press release said.
The partners trained over 35,000 health workers to deliver the vaccines at 4,163 sites across the 16 states participating in phase one of the rollout.
They vowed “to ensure no eligible girl is left behind.”
Mobile vaccination units will be sent to remote communities.
“Gavi-supported vaccine introductions” for the HPV vaccine have been hindered by global supply shortages, the press release said.
However, those supply issues are being overcome “thanks to years of market-shaping efforts to develop a more robust vaccine market.”
HPV Gardasil vaccine producer Merck has invested heavily in shaping the market since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug in 2006.
Last week, the pharmaceutical giant announced that its 2023 third-quarter Gardasil sales grew 13% to $2.6 billion.
Merck is one of Gavi’s key partners in distributing vaccines in “low- and middle-income countries” worldwide.
The vaccine rollout in Nigeria comes on the heels of a similar Gavi-led national HPV campaign launched in Indonesia in August.
The scheme, which is also supported by UNICEF, the WHO, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative, seeks to add the HPV vaccine to Indonesia’s routine schedule.
The initiative aims to vaccinate 90% of girls there.
Bangladesh also launched a similar national HPV vaccine rollout in October.
The country is aiming for 100% coverage.
Zambia, meanwhile, launched the same initiative in September, vaccinating 1.42 million girls ages 9-14 in six days.
Sierra Leone introduced the vaccine into its routine vaccination program in October and Eritrea launched a nationwide vaccine program in November 2022.
These programs are part of a 2020 program initiated by the WHO’s World Health Assembly to eradicate cervical cancer as a public health problem worldwide.
While the globalist organizations present themselves as being independent, Gavi, the WHO, and UNICEF are interconnected in several ways.
Gavi is a public-private partnership launched in 1999 at a World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting.
According to its own data, Gavi has vaccinated 1 billion children since then, by employing “innovative finance and the latest technology.”
Gavi has long been criticized for placing too much emphasis on novel vaccines developed by its pharmaceutical partners rather than ensuring that basic vaccination is carried out, for being largely “top-down” and for subsidizing Big Pharma through questionable contracts and incentives.
Yet, Gavi insists its efforts are all in the name of “saving children’s lives,” according to scholar Anne-Emanuelle Birn, Sc.D.
The Gates Foundation maintains a heavy hand in directing Gavi.
Although as a “public-private partnership” its private donor list includes upwards of 50 individual corporations, most of them have donated only between $200,000 and a few million dollars to Gavi.
The Gates Foundation has donated $4.1 billion to date.
In addition to the seats held by the Gates Foundation, the WHO, UNICEF, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative, board members include representatives from donor countries — of which the U.S. is the largest donor — and countries targeted by Gavi’s interventions.
Industry representatives include Andrew Otoo, who holds a doctorate in pharmacy, formerly of Pfizer and now representing Merck, and Sai Prasad of Bharat Biotech.
Several “independent individuals” drawn from global finance and government also sit on the board, along with one representative of civil society organizations.
Gavi has been distributing the HPV vaccine in Africa since 2011 when it financed Rwanda’s program to be the first African nation to implement a national HPV vaccine program aimed at girls under age 15.
Today it purports to have 90% coverage for girls in Rwanda.
Although Gavi’s logo, not the Gates Foundation’s, appears on the HPV promotional literature and press releases, researchers have argued that Gates’ substantial funding for Gavi and the WHO, and the foundation’s research grantmaking give it outsized power to drive global and local health priorities and spending.
In September, the Gates Foundation awarded a nearly $2 million, five-month grant to the Sydani Group in Nigeria, which is providing technical assistance for Phase 1 of Nigeria’s vaccine rollout.
The foundation also funded the HPV trials in low- and middle-income countries such as India and Kenya that justify mass vaccination and that are used to make dose recommendations, some of which have ended in scandal.
The campaign to eradicate cervical cancer is reminiscent of the Gates Foundation’s previous campaign, also initiated by the WHO and supported by Gavi, UNICEF, and others, to eradicate polio.
That campaign eventually faltered and also led to “a massive outbreak of vaccine-derived infections” that “engulfs much of Africa,” the BMJ reported.
By the end of 2020, Gavi funded the introduction of the HPV vaccine in 13 African countries.
Now, it is behind the new round of rollouts.
“I am deeply disturbed by continuing Big Pharma/GAVI/WHO attacks on African people, at the tip of blatantly unnecessary, dangerous and expensive injections,” Shabnam Palesa Mohamed of Children’s Health Defense Africa told The Defender.
“It is critical that we strengthen our efforts to raise awareness in Africa about Big Pharma crimes and informed consent.”
But, she added, there is a lot of resistance to this program by African people.
“African countries fulfilled an important role in rejecting most dystopian amendments to the International Health Regulations at the WHO’s World Health Assembly 75 last year.”
According to Gavi, nearly 80-90% percent of the approximately 300,000 deaths per year from cervical cancer — the fourth most common cancer among women — occur in low- and middle-income countries, and the majority occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
About 8,000 Nigerian women die per year from cervical cancer in Nigeria, Muhammad Ali Pate, the coordinating minister of Health & Social Welfare, said.
The higher rates are largely attributed to low screening coverage for cervical cancer and limited treatment options in the region, although actual numbers vary widely from country to country.
The HPV virus can lead to cervical cancer, but the vast majority of infections clear on their own.
There are more than 150 strains of HPV.
High-risk HPV types can cause cervical cell abnormalities that are precursors to cancer, although HPV infection is not the sole risk factor for cervical cancer.
Regular pap screening has been found to reduce the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer among women by at least 80%.
But Gavi argues, “Cervical cancer is almost entirely vaccine-preventable, which means that alongside screening for early detection, rolling out the HPV vaccine is critical to preventing infections.”
Public health officials like Dr. Diane Harper from the University of Michigan’s Department of Family Medicine celebrate Gavi’s strategy.
Harper told The Defender, “Nigeria is making awesome strides in eliminating the risk of cervical cancer in its population by vaccinating its girls.”
Lyons-Weiler disagreed:
“First, the studies never showed that HPV vaccines reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
“Instead, they showed the HPV vaccines reduce the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, a precondition sometimes associated with cervical cancer, associated with HPV-vaccine targeted HPVs.
“The second important point, and this is directly related to the first, is that the biomedical research literature is filled with studies that show that HPV vaccination programs have actually caused the replacement of the previously most common types of HPVs with rarer types of HPVs that also cause cancer.
“This is known as HPV-type replacement.
“Rarer types of HPVs can be less common because they are more deadly.
“So this means that HPV vaccine programs should lead to an increase in cervical cancer rates even in fully vaccinated populations, involving more aggressive cancers at an earlier age.”
Studying HPV vaccine efficacy for eliminating cervical cancer is challenging due to the length of time between infections, the development of cancer (mean time 23.5 years), lack of adequate informed consent, the complexity between HPV infection and cervical cancer, and the negative impact of girls’ sexual behavior, which may worsen the risks of cervical cancer.
The Gardasil vaccine has been linked to myriad adverse events, however.
Some of the signature impacts observed following HPV vaccination include permanently disabling autoimmune and neurological conditions such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, fibromyalgia, and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.
There have been thousands of reports of adverse events worldwide.
Peer-reviewed scientific literature from the U.S., Australia, Denmark, Sweden, France, and Japan, and statistics published by public health agencies in each of these countries demonstrate plausible associations between HPV vaccination and autoimmune conditions.
Merck keeps a database of such reported adverse events but does not make that information public.
A North Carolina district judge ordered Merck to turn over all of its Gardasil adverse events databases to plaintiffs suing the pharmaceutical giant for injuries allegedly caused by the vaccine.
The federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out more than $70 million to people making claims regarding Gardasil for injuries.
There are currently about 80 cases pending against Merck for vaccine injuries in federal court in the U.S.
Michael Baum, senior partner at Wisner Baum and the attorney representing vaccine-injured plaintiffs in several lawsuits against Merck, told The Defender that the data on HPV vaccine injuries in the U.S. raises serious concerns about Nigeria’s mass vaccination program:
“U.S. data makes it clear that vaccinating millions of Nigerian girls with Gardasil will cause a staggering number of serious adverse events, including death.
“Before COVID, Gardasil had more adverse event reports in the U.S. than any other vaccine.
“We know it is dangerous, and on top of that, its efficacy in preventing cervical cancer has never truly been established.
“There is not a single study that shows Gardasil can prevent cervical cancer because Merck’s studies were not designed to establish that claim. Nevertheless, Merck markets Gardasil around the world as a ‘cervical cancer vaccine.’
“If the company were interested in backing up this claim, it would have conducted long-term studies by now.
“But it hasn’t. I believe the sad truth is Merck cares more about profit than it does people.”
According to an article in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, most “low- to middle-income countries” have very low reporting rates for adverse events associated with vaccines or other pharmaceutical products.
This lack of reporting makes it difficult to know how many adverse events have been associated with the rollouts that have happened so far.
Lyons-Weiler warns that resources now going into vaccination should instead go toward cervical cancer screening, which for most people is a curative diagnostic.
“Early detection is key, and delaying screening because one feels protected due to the misleading narrative over HPV vaccines protecting against cervical cancer will lead to increased cases of late-stage cancer, and deaths,” he said.
Harper also supported screenings, but also strongly supported the vaccines.
“It is not a question of investing only in vaccination or only in screening,” Harper notes.
“Both are necessary. Compromises in the amount of finite money allocated to each will be necessary, but both are necessary.”
Kim Mack Rosenberg, CHD acting general counsel and co-author of “The HPV Vaccine on Trial” raised serious concerns about the scheme:
“Having studied the HPV vaccines in depth for several years, I am profoundly concerned about Nigeria’s mass vaccination campaign. Instead of vaccinating millions of girls, steps should be taken to reduce risk factors that may contribute to cervical cancer, including early pregnancy and multiple pregnancies, poor nutrition and poor nutritional status, lack of access to clean cooking fuels, and others.
“Moreover, there have been so many innovations in cervical cancer screening that now enable doctors and others to more easily screen, even in rural areas.”
In the U.S., the current HPV vaccination schedule recommended by the CDC is two doses of Merck’s Gardasil 9 vaccine for children ages 9-14 and three for those ages 15 and up.
Gardasil 9, which protects against 9 HPV strains, is the only HPV vaccine distributed in the U.S.
Nigeria’s vaccine advisory committee in 2021 recommended Gardasil’s quadrivalent HPV vaccine for use in Nigeria, which protects against four strains.
When the vaccine first came on the market, the WHO recommended a three-dose course of any version of the vaccine — but in 2014, it changed its recommendation to two doses as part of routine vaccination.
Last year, the WHO announced that “a single-dose Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine delivers solid protection against HPV,” and it changed its recommendations again to “a one or two dose schedule” for girls and women ages 9 and up, based on “evidence emerging over past years,” but without any citations.
But most of the press releases celebrated the single-dose recommendation as “less costly, less resource intensive and easier to administer,” predicting that it would be a “game-changer,” adding that “a single-dose recommendation has the potential to take us faster to our goal of having 90 percent of girls vaccinated by the age of 15 by 2030.”
Lyons-Weiler said the language around dosing was “absolutely misleading,” because the shift to “one or two doses” doesn’t actually make a shift from the recommended two-dose schedule, but might make it easier to get buy-in to the program by skeptics.
