(NaturalNews) In a highly controversial, unprecedented motion, members of the Allegheny County Health Department in Pittsburgh, PA, have publicly revealed that they’re considering administering a countywide mandate to require all 7th grade girls and boys to receive the HPV vaccine before receiving admittance into school for the 2017–18 school year. Since the news broke last week, natural health advocates and anti-vaccine activists have been in an outrage, condemning the corporate Big Pharma-funded mandate.
The HPV vaccine is readily available to the public; that, coupled with the fact that the Human papillomavirus is transmitted exclusively through sexual activity, makes the necessity of administering a vaccine with such controversial side effects to grade school children absurd.
If passed, the mandate would make Allegheny County the only county in the state to have different vaccine regulations to the rest of Pennsylvania. While the mandate would only affect school children attending schools within Allegheny County, many fear that if the mandate is a success, other U.S. counties and states could easily follow suit.
The plot thickens, as Health Impact News reported that medical professionals who spoke in favor of administering the HPV vaccine at a recent meeting organized by the Allegheny County Health Department, had “conflicts of interest related to vaccine manufacturers that they failed to disclose.”
The problem doesn’t only lie in the fact that county officials are attempting to forcibly administer Big Pharma vaccines to the public, but that they’re attempting to administer arguably the most controversial of all vaccines to children.
In January 2016, the American College of Pediatricians (ACP), one of the world’s foremost organizations dedicated to the health and well-being of children, issued a press release warning the public of the dangers of administering the HPV vaccine to children.
