The entire antivax movement was started by an obviously awful paper published in The Lancet that they took 12 years to retract. Then, during the height of covid, they published an obviously fraudulent study ratifying the government wisdom about one of the most politicized treatments that some people had adopted.

Lancet frauds have been for vaccines in the West like hiding the people searching for Bin Laden within a fake vaccination campaign was for vaccines in the Middle East.

edit: I think everyone should take the HPV vaccine, and I posted the Scottish study in a sibling comment. I think the casual dismissal of things that are not peer-reviewed is not good, when peer-review completely failed about vaccines and vaccine-related subjects in a way that possibly is responsible for the deaths of millions.

Peer-reviewed articles were responsible for the antivax movement. They should be treated individually.

It's wild that we've collectively passed that over. Heads should have rolled for that, all the way to the top of whoever had knowledge of that campaign.


While true, this one graph from the lancet is certainly not the only data we have on HPV. You can easily find dozens of studies and metastudies on PubMed.
