HPV Vaccine Controversies: Ireland to Colombia

Donate: 🙏https://www.buymeacoffee.com/slobodnipoIIn this clip from Slobodni Podcast, Mary Holland describes a series of international flashpoints linked to HPV vaccine rollouts — focusing on how programs were implemented (often through schools), how families reacted, and how the public debate unfolded in several countries. Countries discussed in this segment: Ireland: school-based vaccination, reports of severe adverse reactions, and parent-led protests France: a school vaccination incident referenced as part of the broader safety debate Colombia: reports of clusters of affected students, organized resistance by families, and a legal fight that reached the highest court Australia: early mass uptake linked to national promotion and claims of reduced cervical cancer rates — which critics argue are disputed The wider theme here is not “politics vs. medicine,” but standards of evidence and accountability: what was measured, what was assumed, and what citizens can reasonably demand from health authorities when policies affect millions. ▶️ Full episode link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJTy3oXCzHShsVuJ-zfiGnx96nuR-BNWB WEB: https://slobodnipodcast.hr/2026/02/08/obvezno-hpv-cjepivo-u-hrvatskoj-pitanja-koja-sluzbena-medicina-izbjegava/ Disclaimer: This clip presents the guest’s claims and interpretation.
