“HPV Vaccine Texas Tyranny”/ “The HPV Debate Needs an Injection of Reality” In the essay, “HPV Vaccine Texas Tyranny” by Mike Adams, his response is centered around his “CounterThink” cartoon while he expresses his opinions about young girls and HPV vaccinations.

Although he uses facts, his supporting details are somewhat insufficient and would be better if he acknowledged where he got his facts. Also in the essay, “The HPV Debate Needs an Injection of Reality” by Arthur Allen, he represents his opinion about the same issue. Allen’s essay is also persuasive, like Adams, but presents more factual
