Gardasil May Cause Cervical Cancer

Awesome, right?

From the Examiner:

Warning, Gardasil may cause increased risk of cervical cancer
June 30, 10:34 Norma Erickson

Buyer beware: Gardasil, given under the wrong conditions, may increase the risk of cervical cancer.

Would you consent to giving your child a vaccine that caused an increased risk of cancer? That may be exactly what you are doing when you consent to Gardasil.

According to Information the manufacturer of this vaccine presented to the FDA prior to approval, if a person has already been exposed to HPV 16 or 18 prior to injection Gardasil increases the risk of precancerous lesions, or worse, by 44.6%. (See VRBPAC Background document, bottom of page 13) This documentation was presented on the 18th of May 2006.

That statement bears repeating, if you have been exposed to HPV 16 or 18 prior to injection and take the vaccine, you increase your risk of precancerous lesions, or worse, by 44.6%.

Is this information advertised? No! This information was actually presented to the FDA by Merck. It came from their own safety trials. The FDA did not respond by recommending screening for HPV prior to vaccination. The FDA did not even demand a warning be included in the package insert....

Gardasil Takes Jenny Tetlock's Life

Many of us have been following Jenny Tetlock's case after she began getting sick following Gardasil more than a year ago.

To my knowledge, no one from the CDC or any other medical authority even checked into her case despite her family's very public appeals and widespread search for answers.

Jenny died yesterday.

Our sincerely condolences to her family. Honestly I am heartbroken for you.

Merck Clears Itself of Liability in Gardasil Injuries and Deaths

Merck has checked into things and believes it is not culpable in any of the health problems that are being reported by families of those using the product. So we can all go back to using it now. Even on our boys.

Merck is proud of Gardasil.

"Merck has analyzed the adverse events reported for GARDASIL relating to the recent reports of death and paralysis, and based on the data available to Merck, believes that no safety issue related to the vaccine has been identified."

CNN: 8,000 Gardasil Adverse Reaction Repots and Climbing

... but Merck says, 'Don't worry... it is probably just a coincidence'.

UPDATE:
CBS does a story on Jenny: HPV Vaccine Linked To Teen's Paralysis?

Interestingly, Jenny's dad blogged about the story and said that it is a bit too weighted toward the theory that the vaccine as the cause of her illness.  Or at least more so than the family believes may be the case.

I think that is interesting, not that the media 'put their finger on the sale' per se.  They do that all the time.  But this is the first time I have seen them do it in the direction of vaccines causing injury, and not vaccines being safe.

Now I am not for inaccurate reporting in any sense.  We are in this mess because the media has not been giving us the whole picture.  But it hints that the tide is turning in the media.

Merck, CDC, AAP et. al. may have overplayed their hand with Gardasil.  It is much easier to deny vaccine injury in an infant who has only a short medical history and can be declared to have an as of yet unknown 'genetic' abnormality that was had just coincidently shown itself after the vaccination, and who can't say, "Mom... I can't feel my legs", than it is in a thriving 16 year old.

UPDATE:  Looks like I might be right about that 'harder to hide vaccine injury theory'.  Gardsil's slowing sales lead to a drop in their stock price today.   Parents are cluing in.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Merck & Co. shares fell sharply Monday

LAST UPDATE:  I am gonna stop updating this as there is so much media coverage on it now, you have probably seen this stuff already.  AOA has a good overview.

GSK Board Member On UK Education Board as GSK Wins 200 Mil HPV Vaccine Contract

Ugh...


Boss of drug firm behind cervical cancer jabs for schoolgirls is on board of Ofsted


Phamalot: Who’s Minding The Children? In The UK, It’s Glaxo?

A scandal is mushrooming because the Schools Secretary has appointed a Glaxo exec to the board of the government’s official education watchdog agency, known as Ofsted. And the move occurred less than a month before the government awarded a reported $200 million contract to Glaxo for its HPV vaccine for school-age girls 12 years and older, which some parents fear will give a green light to teenage sex, The Daily Mail reports...

Two More Gardasil Deaths Bring The Total To Five

"Two Less" - Egran03

From Natural News:

Two More Girls Die After Receiving Gardasil Cervical Cancer Vaccination
by David Gutierrez


(NaturalNews) The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has reported that
two young women died shortly after receiving Merck's Gardasil, a
vaccine against several varieties of human papillomavirus (HPV).

Gardasil and Glaxo SmithKline's Cervarix protect against the two
strains of HPV that are responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancer
cases. Gardasil also protects against two HPV strains that cause 90
percent of genital warts.

The EMEA did not release the names or ages of the women who died, and
said the cause of death was still unknown. It described their deaths
as "sudden and unexpected."

"In both cases, the cause of death could not be identified. No causal
relationship has been established between the deaths of the young
women and the administration of Gardasil," the agency said.

The recent deaths mark the fourth and fifth to occur shortly following
vaccination with Gardasil and the first in Europe. Previously, three
young women, aged 12, 19 and 22, died in the United States within days
after receiving a Gardasil shot. In addition, 1,700 cases have been
reported of patients suffering non-lethal adverse reactions.

Health officials believe that adverse effects of medication are widely
underreported.

Starting in September, the United Kingdom's Department of Health is
launching a yearlong campaign to vaccinate British girls between the
ages of 11 and 13 with one of the HPV vaccines. The program is
expected to prevent 1,000 cervical cancer deaths per year, the
department says.

In response to the EMEA's announcement, the Department of Health said
it had no plans to reconsider the program or change its advice on
vaccination against HPV.

An estimated 1.5 million people in Europe have already received an HPV
vaccine.

In the United States, three states have passed laws mandating HPV
vaccines for school-age girls, and 38 others have considered similar laws.

Mandatory vaccination has been opposed by the American College of
Pediatrics and the New England Journal of Medicine.

Gardasil Turns an Active 13 Year Old Into A Quadriplegic

Another blog sprung from a tragic vaccine injury that didn't have to be:

Jenny's Journey

Jenny is a 14 year old with a rapidly progressing paralysis. We are looking for other people like her in an effort to find treatment....

URGENT APPEAL FOR MEDICAL GUIDANCE ON PERPLEXING NEUROLOGICAL CASE OF JENNY
Unusually Rapid decline from apparent lower motor neuron disease in a 14 year ild girl (Inset followed HPV vaccine in March 2007). Jenny is now Quadriplegic-- and in danger of further decline.

For access to detailed medical records, please request access code from JenTet.com Administrator ý[admin@jentet.com]ý and correspondence on diagnostic and treatment ideas to tetlock@haas.berkeley.edu

Many world-class MDs have been consulted and many treatments tried

Immunoglobulin, prednisone (oral and pulse), plasma pheresis, and Cytoxan, have been tried based on the assumption of an autoimmune process, with no apparent effect.

A mitochondrial cocktail has been tried based on the assumption of a mitochondrial disorder.

Lithium and Rilutek have been tried based on the assumption of a neurodegenerative disease.

Jenny may have had certain pre-existing autoimmune and/or genetic vulnerabilities that rendered her susceptible to a catastrophic reaction to the HPV vaccine. These include an autoimmune skin disease (pityriasis lichenoides), a maternal grandmother who died of progressive supranuclear policy, and a maternal cousin with severe autism/seizures. Jenny also has only a single copy of the SMN-2 gene (but otherwise does not satisfy the preconditions for SMA).

Any DAN docs out there with any ideas for Jenny?

Christiane Northrup Recommends Passing on Gardasil

The HPV Vaccine
Release Date: April 11, 2008
Duration: 4 min 52 sec
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted disease associated with cervical cancer. In this podcast, Dr. Northrup cautions women against the new HPV vaccine and explains why she is not recommending it to her own daughters.

The Gardasil Hoax

Oh My God. This looks to be a disaster.

So apparently the FDA decided in 2003 that the Human Papilloma Virus was not a threat to women's long term health, that most infections resolved on their own, and HPV did not put women at much risk for cervical cancer!

Yet they went ahead and approved Gardasil for the prevention of cervical cancer, via prevention of HPV!

And now... it turns out, that women who get the vaccine may have a much higher chance of developing precancerous lesions from the vaccine than they ever had from the HPV virus!

The health officials in this country have lost their minds! Merck is going to have to change their commercials from "One Less" to "One More"

UPDATE: HT to Anne Dachel for pointing out the reports of Merck's marketing of Gardasil.

NAA: No on California AB 16

California legislators need to hear from ALL of us on AB 16 BEFORE July 11!

California’s AB 16, approved last week by the Senate Education Committee, would remove all public input and legislative review on childhood vaccines added to the mandatory immunization schedule, automatically adding every new vaccine approved by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

• Passage of this bill will set a dangerous precedent for all of us, whether or not we live in California.
• We’ve seen what public input has done to prevent Gardasil from becoming mandated in some states, as even many in the mainstream medical community opposed forcing the HPV shot on young girls.
• Merck, the drug company behind AB 16 and Gardasil, wants to ensure that public opinion, scientific debate, and common sense will never again stand in the way of profit.
• If this bill passes in California, similar legislation will most likely find its way to every other state.

PLEASE ACT NOW!

The California Senate Health Committee meets this Wednesday, July 11.

PLEASE CALL, FAX, OR EMAIL EACH MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE LISTED BELOW WITH LINKS TO CONTACT INFORMATION, AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON AB 16:

Senator Sheila Kuehl (Chair)
Senator Samuel Aanestad (Vice Chair)
Senator Elaine Alquist
Senator Gilbert Cedillo
Senator Dave Cox
Senator Abel Maldonado
Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod
Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas
Senator Darrell Steinberg
Senator Mark Wyland
Senator Leland Yee

Last week’s testimony from parent Rick Rollens is below. Please read this powerful statement, contact the California Senate Health Committee members now, and pass this message along to family members and friends. We can’t let Merck get away with stealing our civil rights, gaining even more power to foist poorly tested and potentially harmful products on our children.

Mr. Chairman and Members:

My name is Rick Rollens. This is my 33 year of being in and around the Capitol. For 24 years I served in the State Senate in numerous positions including a chief of staff to a Senator, chief consultant to the Senate Rules Committee, creator and director of the Office of Senate Floor Analyses, and finally as Secretary of the Senate. In 1996 I resigned my post ion as Secretary of the Senate in order to dedicate my life to finding effective treatments and a cure for my beloved son Russell who suffers from vaccine induced regressive autism.

Since leaving the Senate, I have been extremely active in the autism world. I am a co-founder of FEAT...Families for Early Autism Treatment, a co-founder of the UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute, a Speaker's appointee to the Legislative Blue Ribbon Commission on Autism, Superintendent O'Connell's appointee to his Autism Advisory Committee, I have served as a national board member of ASA, the NIH Autism Advisory Committee, and currently serve on numerous autism organizations throughout California, the nation, and the world. My family and I have been featured in dozens of local, state, national and international media stories about autism and the autism epidemic, the crown jewel of them all is this (SHOW NEWSWEEK) cover story in Newsweek magazine that featured my son Russell on the cover and a feature on Russell's story of his decent into autism at 6 months old after receiving numerous shots at his well baby check up and immediately suffering a classic adverse vaccine reaction leading to his acquired full syndrome autism. That day changed his life and the lives of ALL who know and love him. Russell is not alone.

Today, California is adding 10 new children a day, seven days a week, like Russell to our DD system. In 1980 when California first enacted it's mandatory immunization law, autism accounted for 3% of all the intakes into our DD system. Today, autism only the fastest growing condition entering the system but now accounts for 64% of all the new intakes. In 1980 the incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000, today it is 1-150, and in some areas high as 1-84 children. Twenty years ago there were 2700 persons with autism in our system, today there are 34,000. In the past 9 months alone, we added more children with autism to our system then we did over the 16 YEAR period from 1971-1987! 886 new children in the past 3 months alone.

The most telling fact is that over 91%, or 9 out of 10 persons currently in our system were born after 1980, the year that California's mandatory immunization law was enacted. There is a tsunami of young children aged 3 to 17 years old accounting for nearly 80% of the autism population moving through the system.

I am here today to vehemently oppose AB 16. AB 16 represents an outrageous and arrogant attempt by the makers of the HPV vaccine and Vioxx, as well as those who front for them in the public health community, to strip away from the Legislature and the Governor the responsibility that has been in statute for nearly 30 years to review and approve or reject the addition of new vaccines to the mandatory childhood immunization schedule; and instead, turn over that responsibility to one and a group of their own, a non-accountable bureaucrat, the state Director of Public Health and a Committee 3,000 miles away of vaccine promoters who have yet to reject an application for adding a new vaccine to the schedule, and numerous members of which are personally and professionally conflicted for accepting research and professional funding and career opportunities from the same vaccine manufactures that are suppose to be regulating. Their behavior and actions have become subject to Congressional investigation and review.

AB 16 as introduced would have added Merck's HPV vaccine to the mandatory schedule. After extensive public hearing and debate in the Assembly Health Committee, it was clear that there was little support to approve the bill and the author refused to even let the bill come up for a vote. This was the second new vaccine that has been rejected by the Legislature in the past five years. I guess enough was enough in the minds of the vaccine manufacturers and their followers. The bill was subsequently gutted and amended the bill to include the provisions before you today.

Keep in mind, that today in California children receive up to 30 doses of vaccines by the age of 6 years old, most of which are administered starting moments after birth through the first two years of life when healthy brain development is most important. If the provisions of AB 16 had been in effect during this current decade, the number of doses of vaccines our children would have been subjected to would have increased to 40 doses. Throughout the country, including right here at the M.I.N.D. Institute, dozens of research projects are currently underway examining the connection between the immune system, vaccines, and autism.

And lastly, be aware that there are over 300 new vaccines currently in development and in the pipeline, including vaccines for such things as nicotine addiction, diarrhea, mononucleosis, cocaine, methamphetamine, and stomach ulcers. These vaccines, as well as vaccines currently in use today contain such potent toxic and poisonous agents as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, aborted fetal tissue, MSG, live viruses, and killed bacteria.

Mr. Chairman and Members, the system we have in place today has served us well for nearly three decades. You and your constituents and future members of the legislature and their constituents have a real say in the very serious issue of what new vaccines are added to MANDATORY childhood immunization schedule. There is sunshine in the current process, this bill takes away the sunshine away and replaces it with a wink and a nod by unaccountable bureaucrats and members of a Committee that have not seen a vaccine they can say no to.

On behalf of the children and their families of today, and the children yet to be born, please reject this horrific proposal. Keep this process in the hands of the people's representatives, do not hand over the future of our children's very health to those who would profit both personally and professionally by approving this bill. Please vote no. Thank you.

Judicial Watch Uncovers Three Deaths Relating to HPV Vaccine

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. 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.

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