It's controversial. The HPV vaccine. Some say it will prevent
cancer. Others are not so sure. One woman in Sparks, Maryland knows
that it killed her daughter.
Annapolis resident, Josh Mazer has been critical of the way this
vaccine has been marketed to children. After all, it IS a sexually
transmitted disease. Mazer uncovered a letter sent to all the
school superintendents in the state encouraging them to push the
vaccine and suggesting that it should be included with typical
pre-school vaccinations. He also dug up $90 million that the State
received to market the drug.
The State is beginning to listen, but Mazer feels they have a long
way to go.
The genesis of this episode was an opinion piece in The Capital. It
piqued our interest and we sat down with Josh with an open mind and
learned a lot. And for those who will immediately jump on the "he's
a wacko, nut-job, anti-vaxxer" bandwagon--he's not. And we address
that!
Listen, learn, question. We did. You owe it to yourself and your
kids to do the same!
