Gardasil and Adverse Reactions

>> Tuesday, July 8, 2008

A comment on my other post about Gardasil prompted me to do more research online about people who pass out after receiving it. This is what I found:

  • Injury Board: "A study of the vaccine's safety by The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC.org) found more than 80 reports of adverse reactions to Gardasil upon being administered. These adverse reactions have been reported to include Syncopal Episodes and Seizures (a temporary loss of blood flow to the brain resulting in loss of consciousness, e.g., "passing out."), seizures, Guillain-Barre syndrome, falls, etc."
  • National Vaccine Information Center: "A 16-year-old Illinois girl was vaccinated July 7th and 13 days later developed symptoms eventually diagnosed as Guillian-Barre Syndrome. A 14-year-old girl in the District of Columbia was vaccinated on July 11th and complained of severe pain immediately following the injection, fell off the examining table and experienced a 10 to 15 second fainting spell ending up in the emergency room with a headache and speech problems. The report of this reaction, the first in the nation, was filed on July 14th, 15 days after the ACIP vote.
    Six months later, 82 reports of GARDASIL reactions have been submitted to VAERS on behalf of at least 84 young girls and 2 boys.[1] Reaction reports have come in from 21 states and the District of Columbia.[2] Reactions were reported for children and young adults ranging in age from 11 to 27. Of the reports indicating what day the vaccine was given and the reaction occurred, 63 percent stated that the reaction occurred the same day the vaccine was given. All but three of the reports were for reactions that occurred within one week of vaccination."
    There is a lot more information at the link at the start of this bullet point that you can read.
  • Blog.wired.com: Read this article too...discusses deaths, adverse reactions and disruptions in pregnancies.
  • Judicial Watch: Reports of the FDA's adverse reaction reports are here.

My daughter will not be getting this vaccine.
