Gardasil - The Great LIE

3:32 AM, Friday, May 25, 2007 .. Posted in In These Last Days .. 4 comments .. Link

I have been pretty much sickened by the commercials for the past several months that basically lie to women.

“One less, I wanna be one less….”

One less what? Healthy, breathing human being??

The drug Gardasil has been touted as the "miracle drug" for young women in the fight against cervical cancer. Many, myself included, have spoken out to say that the facts do not support this statement. Yes, the drug *may* help to prevent certain types of std's, not the cancer itself.

I posted about the information when I received an email from hslda in February, stating a few things about the vaccine that weren't being told to the public, like:

...Gardasil is not a cure for HPV or cervical cancer.
Instead the vaccine seeks to prevent an individual from contracting
the four specific types of HPV (6, 11, 16, and 18) which are
responsible for 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts.
There is currently no cure for these sexually transmitted viruses.
Even the FDA and the CDE admit the only "cure" is abstinence before
marriage and a monogamous relationship during marriage.

There have been no long-term studies of the HPV vaccine. Children in
the 9-year-old age group have been monitored for only 18 months and
there have been no studies on the carcinogenic risk or the general
toxicity of the vaccine itself. From July 2006 to the end of 2006,
there were 385 unique reports of adverse events filed with the Vaccine
Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following the receipt of the
vaccine. Read a Full review of these reports.

Additionally, there is some concern that rushing to mandate the HPV
vaccine for pre-teen girls will not have the intended affect of
preventing cervical cancer. Early immunization may not be effective
because the vaccine could wear off before the person is most
susceptible. Gardasil has only been proven to have five years of
effectiveness. While there appears to be a 10-to-15-year incubation
period for certain HPV types potentially becoming cervical cancer, the
average age a woman contracts cervical cancer is in her mid 40s. For
more information.

And then, there's this tidbit:

Due to all of the concerns raised about mandating the Gardasil vaccine
to middle school age girls, Merck has abandoned its efforts to lobby
state legislatures to require the vaccine.

And tonight, on Hills Academy blog, I find this:

Judicial Watch Uncovers Three Deaths Relating to HPV Vaccine
Event Reports Obtained from FDA Detail 1,637 Adverse Reactions to Gardasil

(Washington, DC) -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released documents obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, detailing 1,637 reports of adverse reactions to the vaccination for human papillomavirus (HPV), Gardasil.

As I read on, I am horrified. Where are all of the commercials that tell women that one of the so-called *side efects* is death? Death. For taking our drug as a 12year-old to prevent cervical cancer through transmission of s*xual diseases(which you may not wish to experience anyway, hopefully), you could DIE.

Like the 3 girls who had the shot and did:

Garadsil Related Deaths Reported to VAERS as of May 11, 2007 Age 12, Age 19, Age unknown

Three deaths were related to the vaccine. One physician’s assistant reported that a female patient “died of a blood clot three hours after getting the Gardasil vaccine.” Two other reports, on girls 12 and 19, reported deaths relating to heart problems and/or blood clotting.

As of May 11, 2007, the 1,637 adverse vaccination reactions reported to the FDA via the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) included 371 serious reactions. Of the 42 women who received the vaccine while pregnant, 18 experienced side effects ranging from spontaneous abortion to fetal abnormities.

Side effects published by Merck & Co. warn the public about potential pain, fever, nausea, dizziness and itching after receiving the vaccine. Indeed, 77% of the adverse reactions reported are typical side effects to vaccinations. But other more serious side effects reported include paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures.

“The FDA adverse event reports on the HPV vaccine read like a catalog of horrors,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Any state or local government now beset by Merck’s lobbying campaigns to mandate this HPV vaccine for young girls ought to take a look at these adverse health reports. It looks as if an unproven vaccine with dangerous side effects is being pushed as a miracle drug.”

Judicial Watch filed its request on May 9, 2007, and received the adverse event reports from the FDA on May 15, 2007. Judicial Watch has posted the adverse event reports below.

(A recent study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, also questioned the general effectiveness of Gardasil.)

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) Reports as of May 11, 2007

"Side-effects"

It's real nice that most of these 'side-effects' are considered "not serious":

Age 17: ER Visit, Not Serious

Asthenia, Chills, Cyanosis, Dizziness, Pallor, Pyrexia, Visual disturbance.

Information has been received from a physician and a medical assistant concerning an 18 yr old female with no pertinent medical history or allergies, who on17Aug06 was vaccinated IM with HPV rL1 6 11 16 18 VLP vaccine (yeast) (0.5ml) (lot 653650/0702F). There was no concomitant therapy. Subsequently, on18Aug06 the pt developed a rash and hives. It was reported that this was not an injection site rash.

Was treated with IVIG as indicated on VAERS form. Per records pt has residualweakness. 12/19/06-progress notes received for and DC Summary DC DX: GBS.

Does this tick anyone else off besides me?? Did you notice the dates of these events?

JULY 2006!!!???

The last one on the report is dated April 24, 2007. Do you want to guess how many there are? How many reports of these "side effects"???

go ahead, guess....

Ok, you won't even come close. It's 1637.

One thousand, six hundred, thirty-seven young girls and women who had bad side-effects or near-death medical complications from this wonder drug. This number can't even count how many may develop some type of cancer because the testing is rather short-lived on this drug.

I am sickened. C'mon. Get with the program. How long will parents continue to blindly follow what the government says is "best" for their bodies??

We have 3 daughters ages 13, 16 and 17. There is no way we would just say, "ooh, yeah, we *need* that because *they* said so." We knew that when this drug first came out. We actually looked into it.

Yes, well, I'm also the Mom who thinks you just shouldn't eat that hot dog that will give you acid reflux, instead of drugging yourself so you can indulge something that your body is trying to tell you isn't good for you.
Yes, America: land of the "there's a drug for that" mindset.

And some people are complaining that we homeschoolers are putting our children in danger by not conforming to the idea of public schooling and all the social and educational opportunities therein. The author thinks that warrants restrictions of or legislation totally revoking our homeschool rights.

YEAH, RIGHT. WAKE UP.
