*"A Montreal social scientist and the federal agency that awarded her almost $300,000 to study the HPV vaccine are facing criticism after the professor condemned the vaccine and called for a moratorium on its use.
Concordia University’s Genevieve Rail also said there is no proof that the human papillomavirus directly causes cervical cancer, though a German scientist was awarded the Nobel Prize five years ago for discovering the link.
Experts say Rail’s public attacks are seriously misinformed and risk undermining an important public-health program — and they question why the Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR) would fund her work.
The $270,000 that Rail — who has a doctorate in kinesiology — received is to examine HPV vaccination “discourses” and their effect on teenagers, using in part interviews and drawings."*
This professor of “feminist cultural studies of health” is in severe denial about an infectious disease that results in 1,500 new cancer diagnoses and 380 deaths of Canadian women annually (plus many, many thousands more who undergo invasive procedures to diagnose and treat HPV-induced cervical dysplasia). She has collected anecdotes from some parents about supposed fatigue in their kids after HPV vaccination, and that’s enough proof for her that the vaccine is Bad (contrary to overwhelming evidence that it’s as safe as other routine immunizations).*
“Rail is described on the Concordia website as a feminist critic of “body-related institutions” like health industries, big pharma and the media, who favours “poststructuralist, de/post(c)olonial and queer approaches.””
Quoting from the site, her interests also include “issues related to fatness”, which apparently is the poststructuralist term for obesity. :dubious:
*in the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that deaths have been reported to the VAERS database in association with administration of the HPV vaccine, though the great majority are difficult to even tenuously connect with it, including suicides, fatal auto accidents and someone who fell down a well a couple of weeks after getting the vaccine and died.
