As the article points there are likely multiple causes, not getting the HPV vaccine only being one. None of the possible causes have been studied deeply as the agent or condition for increased HPV. From a Eurocentric perspective sexuality in Japan is complicated -2-, being both unsexual and where young women may be having multiple partners and frequent sex, upping HPV risk, especially if there is a number of asymptomatic males. There are the environmental factors of long term chronic air pollution and biologically recent radiation releases, that may increase the chances of HPV getting through immune systems. The Japanese genetic pool may likewise be more vulnerable to HPV, or perhaps an artifact of high cervical screening. In short there is a trend, but at this time only informed speculation for the trend. It is a reasonable action to increase HPV vaccination among both young males and females, and even if not the main cause will still help and more importantly not harm. Given Japanese attitudes about germs it is relatively easy to craft effective messages about HPV, with the complication that HPV has been framed as a health risk Why Japan’s HPV Vaccine Rates Dropped from 70% to near Zero, Japan Banned Gardasil – Another Ridiculous Anti Vaccine Myth, Lessons Learnt in Japan from Adverse Reactions to the HPV Vaccine: A Medical Ethics Perspective, and confusing taboos about sexual expression in public.

I live a few miles from the Fort Ross mentioned below, and near the small town of Gualala in California. It was in the town’s bookstore (the community owns the bookstore), I came across the following book that has an excerpt that lead me to finding some material of a syndemic of cholera and smallpox that wiped out a whole cultural group, partly from what would now be called anti vax. Some however were saved in part because of some goodwill developed by Russians that lead to trust in vaccination, a bit different from current Russians who fan anti vax. There is a remote possibility that I can find a tribal elder of the Kalashi who may be willing to speak to me about the stories of this pandemic

In the valleys of the 1830's (now inland from the California coast of Sonoma and Medicino counties), Indians (Pomo) would become acquainted with imported new diseases such as cholera and smallpox, and by 1830†1 they would be submerged under an epidemic of such severity that they would die by the thousands, some tribes being fully wiped out. In 1979 the news columnist Gaye LeBaron would write about trapper, James “Ohio” Pattie, who had once kept a record of vaccinating Indians at Fort Ross (Video). Since Indians of the valleys would not permit vaccination, because they did not trust the people would give them, Ms. LeBaron observed: The cordial and trusting relationship between the Russians and the Pomo may account for the survival of the Kashia Pomo in the plague year27†2.
