Well, in all fairness, she is not just 'someone', but
a tenured professor of history, with a specialty in the history of public health and medicine, who presently teaches as Emory University. And, she does not think that the HPV vaccine stems from a manufactured crisis, but that a manufactured crisis stems from the development of the HPV vaccine. Or, any new vaccine. Throughout her narrative, she repeatedly points out this situation accompanying each new vaccine introduction since the the measles vaccine in 1963....when a new vaccine is developed, it seems to engender a new propaganda initiative to impose it upon a largely uninterested or unenthusiastic public, often by overstating the threat and understating the attendant risks.
