A total lie
The reality is the HPV vaccine is SO EFFECTIVE at preventing HPV, cervical cancer is on its way to ELIMINATION in countries which have rolled it out, such as Scotland 🏴, Sweden 🇸🇪 and Australia 🇦🇺!!
🚨ALARMING HARM: HPV Vaccine INCREASES HPV Rates & Ovarian Damage in Girls – Dr. Brian Hooker, PhD
The Gardasil HPV vaccine doesn’t even prevent HPV.
Florida’s Medicaid database was analyzed, comparing vaccinated vs. unvaccinated girls.
The results are alarming:
- Vaccinated girls showed much higher rates of ovarian dysfunction and female reproductive disorders.
- They also had a greater risk/level of HPV infection itself compared to the unvaccinated group.
Dr. Hooker: “We see much, much higher levels of these issues in the individuals that received the vaccine…”
Why are we giving this to our children? A vaccine that fails to prevent the very infection it targets — and increases serious reproductive risks instead?
Parents, this is from the actual data. Do your research before the next “routine” shot.
The HPV rollout continues… but the science from this comparison demands answers.
Share this. Question everything. Protect our children.

Grateful to @NPR for the chance to talk about how stress and infections like COVID can stir dormant viruses in our bodies, and what that may mean for our immune system. Still much to learn, and I’m thankful to my team and colleagues for their work 🎧 npr.org/2026/10/23/nx-s1-598…

More to come. Grateful to be among the group of scientists “on the outside” that continue to speak truth to power and provide voices and services that represent the best resistance against the forces trying to undo public health “from the inside.”
More than a year ago, @dr_demetre resigned from CDC leadership to protest RFK Jr. and fight him from the outside.
