总结:The article analyses the public policy of vaccination against the human papilloma virus (HPV) according to the three classical criteria of need, efficacy and safety as an exemplary case of how the big transnational corporations operate and how the governments serve their interests.

The four Lacanian discourses are applied to the analysis of the rhetoric of public health authorities.
