I'm digging on how we ended up with HPV vaccines that maim, sterilize and even kill vaccine recipients. I think I just hit a mother lode of spoopy connections.
Lets start with these guys: Douglas R. Lowy and John T. Schiller of the National Cancer Institute. What did they do? Get HPV vaccines their start. Do they collect royalties for said work? I think so but need sauce.
However the above scientists did get a nice award (pic related)
Next, I want to explore the Lasker Foundation which gives awards to American government HPV vaccine researchers.
