    Abstract The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic offers many medical, economic, societal, and cultural challenges. The response by individual states in the United States of America varies, but with the common initial impetus for all being to "flatten the curve," which was intended to delay infections and spread the burden and impact on hospitals and medical systems. Starting with that intention, the responses by states has included many major steps not taken in prior pandemics. Those steps have significantly adversely affected hospitals rather than support them, and the overall impact has been to "flatten the economy" rather than just to "flatten the curve." Many state governors have stated that their decisions are "science-led" and "data driven" but the reality is that there is not relevant experimental data. The progression of decisions during the early pandemic decisions is traced, and the basis of decisions based in science or herd mentality is discussed. Experiences are not experiments, and experiences are not founded in the scientific process. Medical and government leaders must be vigilant to recognize the limitations of available data in responding to unique circumstances.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Recommendations for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination during adolescence primarily for a disease, cancer, that occurs only during adulthood is a paradigm shift for pediatricians. Additional postlicensure data and guidelines about HPV biology and epidemiology, disease association, adverse effects, vaccination during pregnancy, and cost-benefit analyses are now available to inform pediatricians and guide HPV vaccination recommendations.
    Recent findings: The prespecified, end-of-study combined analysis of HPV vaccine efficacy studies for prevention of cervical cancer, and now also for prevention of vulvar and vaginal cancers, confirmed 98-100% vaccine efficacy. Postlicensure surveillance identified a new association of vaccine administration with syncope, and provides assurance of the safety of inadvertent vaccination during pregnancy. Several cost-effectiveness analyses consistently demonstrated that HPV vaccination of 12-year-old girls and catch-up vaccination through 18 years of age, and possibly to 26 years of age, is cost-effective, although the thresholds of affordability vary by study. The downward trend in age of initial HPV infection and the need to educate parents and patients about HPV disease and vaccination underscore the essential role of pediatricians in managing HPV illness.
    Summary: It is critical for pediatricians to thoroughly understand HPV biology and disease and champion HPV vaccination to prevent cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancers, even though these benefits accrue during adulthood and will likely require 2-4 decades to realize the financial and public health benefits. Several new developments are expected in the near future, including licensure for use in boys and men and the approval of a second, bivalent HPV vaccine.
