Is Gardasil hurting and killing our kids?
>> Wednesday, July 2, 2008
I came across some articles tonight claiming that the Gardasil vaccine has caused death, paralysis, illness, spontaneous abortion, and more to some individuals after taking the vaccine. If you read my other blog, you know I have been on a mission to find out all I can about this vaccine as our pediatrician is encouraging it be given to our oldest (who just turned 11). I wanted to share this information with readers here too so its not missed.
Finding out what is true and what isn't is always difficult to decipher. So, I am putting all the information that may play into a parent's decision-making out there so families can make informed decisions on this vaccine.

Here is the CDC's response. In my opinion, this response leaves too many questions in my mind as to the safety of the vaccine at this time.
As of right now, my opinion is that my daughters will not be receiving this vaccine. It has always been my intention to ensure they knew all they need to know about safe sex to protect themselves. That intention remains.
More CDC information.
EDITED 7/8/08: I have another post about Gardasil with links to adverse reactions that include passing out, seizures, disruptions in pregnancy. Read it here.
