Gardasil Deaths and Adverse Reactions

Adverse Reactions
as of June 10, 2008
per the FDA:





8,864


This is an important topic to me because my daughter's pediatrician was putting on a little bit of pressure last year about giving it to my daughter and I know she will again at her next well-check. I didn't agree to it a year ago because I didn't know enough about it (other than what the drug company advertised in commercials and magazines). That was one-sided information from a company who would make money off of me if I bought into it and a doctor who probably gets perks from the pharmaceutical company for giving it to their patients so I wanted to look into it myself.

The latest I found indicates ten new deaths since September, 2007. Since January, 2007: 140 serious reports with 27 of those life threatening; ten spontaneous abortions; and six cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

When a vaccine is causing children to pass out and fall off the examining table, foaming at the mouth, grand mal seizure, paralysis, Bells Palsy, and coma, why would it be promoted the way it has been?

From the President of Judicial Watch:

“Given all the questions about Gardasil, the best public health policy would be to reevaluate its safety and to prohibit its distribution to minors. In the least, governments should rethink any efforts to mandate or promote this vaccine for children,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

One problem for about 25% of the children with adverse reactions is that these vaccines are being given at the same time as other vaccines. Merck, the manufacturer of Gardasil, didn't conduct studies on giving them in combination with most other vaccines. So why the serious reactions in the other 75%?

According to Medical News Today:

"Out of the 385 individual GARDASIL adverse event reports made to VAERS, two-thirds required additional medical care and about one-third of all reports were for children 16-years-old and under, with nearly 25 percent of those children having received simultaneously one or more of the 18 vaccines that Merck did not study in combination with GARDASIL. NVIC is calling on the FDA and CDC to warn parents and doctors that GARDASIL should not be combined with other vaccines and that young girls should be monitored for at least 24 hours for syncopal (collapse/fainting) episodes that can be accompanied by seizure activity, as well as symptoms of tingling, numbness and loss of sensation in the fingers and limbs, all of which should be reported to VAERS immediately.

Because Merck only studied GARDASIL in fewer than 1200 girls under age 16 in pre-licensure trials, it is critical that doctors and parents be made aware of the nature of the initial adverse event reports coming into VAERS and that they report serious health problems after vaccination when they occur," said NVIC President Barbara Loe Fisher. "There are twice as many children collapsing and four times as many children experiencing tingling, numbness and loss of sensation after getting a GARDASIL vaccination compared to those getting a Tdap (tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis) vaccination. There have been reports of facial paralysis and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. And doctors who give GARDASIL in combination with other vaccines are basically conducting an experiment on their young patients because Merck has not published any safety data for simultaneous vaccination with any vaccine except hepatitis B vaccine.

NVIC also found that there were several VAERS reports of HPV infection, genital warts and cervical lesions after GARDASIL vaccination. It is unknown if the girls were infected with HPV before being vaccinated or if GARDASIL failed to protect them. One case of HPV infection occurred in a 22-year-old girl who had participated in a Merck GARDASIL trial in 2003 when she had shown "strong conversion to all 4 vaccine types" but "tested positive for high risk HPV" in 2006, according to the VAERS report.In a May 18, 2006 Background Document for the FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRPBAC), the FDA staff stated that Merck clinical trial data indicated there may be "the potential for GARDASIL to enhance cervical disease in subjects who had evidence of persistent infection with vaccine-relevant HPV types prior to vaccination." Girls and women now being vaccinated with GARDASIL are not routinely being tested for active HPV infection before vaccination."

They also wrote this:

"If only 1 to 4 percent of all adverse events associated with GARDASIL vaccination are being reported to VAERS, there could have been up to 38,000 health problems after GARDASIL vaccination in 2006 which were never reported," said Fisher. "How many girls are really having short-term health problems associated with getting this vaccine that could turn into long-term neurological or immune system disorders? And how many will go on to develop fertility problems, cancer or damage to their genes, all of which Merck admits in its product insert that it has not studied at all? We just don't know enough to be mandating GARDASIL for anyone, much less vulnerable 11 to 12 year old girls entering puberty."

My children do get vaccinations. They have all had the "required" vaccines. However, this is one vaccine that they will not be receiving.

There is important background info in "Fatal Probe", a little book written a few years ago that can be found on Amazon. He seems to have been out there warning women about this for years.

The primary focus of the book is to uncover facts concerning the cross-infection of women during their visits to the offices of their medical providers. However, there is relevant, previously undisclosed information that challenges the efficacy of the Gardacil tests.

btw: It seems there is also concern regarding the fact that the Merck-sponsored testing did not use true saline injections in most of their control groups. They were 'laced' with aluminum, which totally confuses the results.

Be patient, in that they seem to not be able to keep them in stock.
