In Not Quite a Cancer Vaccine, medical anthropologist S.D. Gottlieb explores how the vaccine Gardasildeveloped against the most common sexuallytransmitted infection, human papillomavirus (HPV)was marketed primarily as a cervical cancer vaccine. Gardasil quickly became implicated in two preexisting debatesabout adolescent sexuality and pediatric vaccinations more generally.Prior to its market debut, Gardasil seemed to offer female empowerment, touting protection against HPV and its potential for cervical cancer. Gottlieb questions the marketing pitchs vaunted promise and asks why vaccine marketing unnecessarily gendered the vaccines utility, undermining Gardasils benefit for men and women alike. This book demonstrates why in the ten years since Gardasils U.S. launch its low rates of public acceptance have their origins in the early days of the vaccine dissemination. Not Quite a Cancer Vaccine addresses the ongoing expansion in U.S. healthcare of patientsasconsumers and the ubiquitous, and sometimes insidious, health marketing of large pharma.
