Abstract

Vaccines can have adverse side-effects, and these are predominantly associated with the inclusion of chemical additives such as aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. The objective of this study was to establish an in vitro model system amenable to mechanistic investigations of cytotoxicity induced by hepatitis B vaccine, and to investigate the mechanisms of vaccine-induced cell death. The mouse liver hepatoma cell line Hepa1-6 was treated with two doses of adjuvanted (aluminium hydroxide) hepatitis B vaccine (0.5 and 1 μg protein per ml) and cell integrity was measured after 24, 48 and 72 h. Hepatitis B vaccine exposure increased cell apoptosis as detected by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay. Vaccine exposure was accompanied by significant increases in the levels of activated caspase 3, a key effector caspase in the apoptosis cascade. Early transcriptional events were detected by qRT-PCR. We report that hepatitis B vaccine exposure resulted in significant upregulation of the key genes encoding caspase 7, caspase 9, Inhibitor caspase-activated DNase (ICAD), Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK-1), and Apoptotic protease activating factor 1 (Apaf-1). Upregulation of cleaved caspase 3,7 were detected by western blot in addition to Apaf-1 and caspase 9 expressions argues that cell death takes place via the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in which release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria triggers the assembly of a caspase activation complex. We conclude that exposure of Hepa1-6 cells to a low dose of adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine leads to loss of mitochondrial integrity, apoptosis induction, and cell death, apoptosis effect was observed also in C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line after treated with low dose of vaccine (0.3, 0.1, 0.05 μg/ml). In addition In vivo apoptotic effect of hepatitis B vaccine was observed in mouse liver.

AMA Proposes Forcing People to Participate In Vaccine Trials

You read that right.  The American Medical Association has published a piece in the Policy Forum entitled:

Should Participation in Vaccine Clinical Trials be Mandated?

I am absolutely apoplectic.

The article, written by Suzanne Sheehy and Joel Meyer begins its argument for forced participation in vaccine trials with a quote from Highly Esteemed and Eminent Physician Ethically Challenged College Dropout Bill Gates.  Because he is truly who you should be going to for medical advice.  Cause... you know... he's rich.

Few would argue with Bill Gates when he describes vaccination as “the most effective and cost effective health tool ever invented”

So on the basis of this non doctor's, non-medical opinion (we do know that he owns a vaccine company, right), with no proof of the validity of this statement necessary mind you (because after all, "few would argue with him" and consensus equals truth) we are not only now going to vaccinate everyone, we are going to force people into vaccine trials.

And the medical establishment is completely baffled why people don't trust them any more and won't take their vaccine advice?

If I just stopped here, the fact that they just published this suggestion, should be enough to perhaps get mainstream med to ask themselves whether or not they really have jumped the shark on vaccine policy.  But then again, that should have happened a long time ago.  But apparently not yet.  Let's go on to the arguments they make including the ideas that:

• "Given the often unquantifiable risks to the recipients of vaccines in early stages of development" clinical trials rely on volunteers, which is unsustainable and unethical. 
• Volunteerism in vaccine trials is on the decline.
• It doesn't pay well enough which tells participants that they are undervalued.
• Most participants are "poor and vulnerable" which is unethical since the approved vaccines "benefit the whole population."
• If we pay them more, then they will be seduced by the money and might not be practicing "informed consent"
• Progress on new vaccines must be uneffected by people not wanting to be in vaccine trial, therefore they should consider new strategies
• Forcing people to be involved is one such strategy, and it "is not as outlandish as it might seem on first consideration"
• Many societies already mandate things that are for The Greater Good, like jury duty, opt-out organ donation and the draft.

And I just want to give you this whole quote, so you really see clearly that when we say that our children have been drafted into their war on communicable disease, it is not really an analogy as much as it is... well... fact:

"In both conscription and obligatory trial participation, individuals have little or no choice regarding involvement and face inherent risks over which they have no control, all for the greater good of society."

[emphasis mine]

In his chapter in our book, Vaccine Epidemic: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science, and Coercive Government Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health, and Our Children, Allen Tate makes the point that if one is going to make a greater good argument (that one unsavory thing must be undertaken to get something more important for more people) one must first ACTUALLY PROVE THAT SUCH A THING WILL BRING ABOUT A GREATER GOOD.   He then evaluates the greater good argument made for the current vaccine program (which does not include forced vaccine trial participation) and finds that it does not even meet the standard of a "greater good".

But no problem with that here for Sheehy and Meyer, because as they point out, it is vaccine maker Bill Gates' opinion (who is very rich btw), and few would argue with him... so... it must be the best thing for everyone.

It is at this point that I have to offer Leslie Manookin high praise for so aptly naming her vaccine documentary, "The Greater Good".  Let's pause here for a moment to see what this "greater good" program is doing to the vulnerable in our society:

And that is from APPROVED vaccines.

They truly see us and our children as functionaries in their system.  Medicine does not exist to make you, the individual, better; You, the individual, exist to make Medicine better.  You are theirs to "conscript".  They can draft you into their service as an actual "lab rat."  (And no that is not an exaggeration as the third sentence in this article reads, "The lack of animal models that can reliably predict vaccine efficacy means that development still unavoidably relies on testing of novel vaccines in healthy individuals.")

See?  Not about your and your rights and your health.  Your rights are not even factored into their arguements.  Check this:

"As ever, then, the debate boils down to a consideration of the “greater good” or the “lesser evil.” A key consideration is the risk benefit ratio—risk to the individual volunteer balanced against the benefit to society. "

"As ever..." as in the only thing they are taking into account.  The deciding factor.

Then the article truly falls into Orwellian doublespeak.  They authors acknowledge that forcing people to participate in vaccine trials, will violate respect for peoples rights, violate the Universial Declaration of Human Rights, and destroy trust in the vaccine program.  Their solution?

"A more palatable and realistic option is a policy of “mandated choice.” In this case individuals would be required by law to state in advance their willingness to participate in vaccine trials [15]. The advantage of this system is that it could identify a large cohort of willing volunteers from which participants could be recruited rapidly without jeopardizing individual autonomy. It would encourage an open, noncoercive philosophy for tackling societal challenges without compromising individual freedom or public trust in the health care system."

Mandated choice?  MANDATED CHOICE?!!

UP IS DOWN!
BLACK IS WHITE!
WAR IS PEACE!
VIOLENCE IS LOVE!
MANDATE IS CHOICE!!!!!

So the law REQUIRING YOU to say you will participate before hand, then holding you to it later, is choice!  It is not coercive, does not violate your right to informed consent, and will not destroy trust in the vaccine program or in medicine or government in general!

Welcome to 1984!!  The law will require you to commit you to volunteer your body to science!  The law does not even do that now for DEAD PEOPLE!

And to skip back a bit, follow this logic... paying people lots of money to participate in trials sabatoges "informed consent", but legally forcing them to consent, is "informed consent."  Coercing with money = immoral.  Coercing with a gun = moral!

Then we get to the kernel of the issue.  That people just don't value vaccines enough, so the law must now force them to be valued.  And no such article should go with out a shot at Wakefield and our community:

"But perhaps most importantly, as a society we need to evaluate our perception of vaccination. Any successful vaccine program by its very nature takes a once-feared illness out of the public eye. This means that the benefits of immunization become forgotten while side effects in small numbers of individuals fill the headlines. It is all too easy for sensationalist and unfounded stories such as that claiming a link between the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine and autism [16] to instead take root in society’s collective psyche. Ultimately such a crucial public health intervention as vaccine development may become devalued—and only revalued once a drop in vaccination rates leads to resurgence of severe disease."

"But perhaps more importantly..."  Because more important than honoring the human rights of actual humans, is a valuable perception of vaccination.

Seriously... these people can go to hell.  Or just visit Auschwitz, where medical progress was much more important than allowing people to say to NO to forced experimentation.

So to the publishers of this article:

AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, MEET THE FREE MARKET!

Your product line called "vaccine" is not as valuable as you think it is.  (In business this is called a "bubble".)  People are buying less of it.  You have reached a saturation point.  Time to wake up and smell the informed consent.  The public has been informed... AND THEY DON'T CONSENT!

You will put experimental vaccines into the bodies of my family over my dead body.  


And to Sheehy and Meyer:

I cannot find words that will express my outrage and contempt for what you have done here.  This is absolutely an abomination to the whole point of medicine, and to logic itself.  I hope that you are despised in your communities for floating a balloon like this.  It is nothing short of evil.

I do take solace in the fact that the logic in this article is such utter bullshit (MANDATED CHOICE... I still can't believe you wrote this with a straight face) that anyone with half a brain will see that you are attempting to bring back the good old days of Doctor Mengele and will flush this article down the toilet where it belongs.

So if this was some sort of ironic "A Modest Proposal" type article to point out that we have gone a bit overboard on the vaccine push, then now is the time to speak up on that.

If not... as I proposed earlier, which might not be as outlandish as it might seem on first consideration... go to hell.

Mechanisms of Aluminum Adjuvant Toxicity and Autoimmunity in Pediatric Populations

Mechanisms of aluminum adjuvant toxicity and autoimmunity in pediatric populations

Lupus (2012) 21, 223–230.

Immune challenges during early development, including those vaccine-induced, can lead to
permanent detrimental alterations of the brain and immune function. Experimental evidence
also shows that simultaneous administration of as little as two to three immune adjuvants can
overcome genetic resistance to autoimmunity. In some developed countries, by the time children
are 4 to 6 years old, they will have received a total of 126 antigenic compounds along with
high amounts of aluminum (Al) adjuvants through routine vaccinations. According to the US
Food and Drug Administration, safety assessments for vaccines have often not included
appropriate toxicity studies because vaccines have not been viewed as inherently toxic.
Taken together, these observations raise plausible concerns about the overall safety of current
childhood vaccination programs. When assessing adjuvant toxicity in children, several key
points ought to be considered: (i) infants and children should not be viewed as ‘‘small adults’’
with regard to toxicological risk as their unique physiology makes them much more vulnerable
to toxic insults; (ii) in adult humans Al vaccine adjuvants have been linked to a variety of
serious autoimmune and inflammatory conditions (i.e., ‘‘ASIA’’), yet children are regularly
exposed to much higher amounts of Al from vaccines than adults; (iii) it is often assumed that
peripheral immune responses do not affect brain function. However, it is now clearly established
that there is a bidirectional neuro-immune cross-talk that plays crucial roles in immunoregulation
as well as brain function. In turn, perturbations of the neuro-immune axis have
been demonstrated in many autoimmune diseases encompassed in ‘‘ASIA’’ and are thought to
be driven by a hyperactive immune response; and (iv) the same components of the neuroimmune
axis that play key roles in brain development and immune function are heavily targeted
by Al adjuvants. In summary, research evidence shows that increasing concerns about
current vaccination practices may indeed be warranted. Because children may be most at risk
of vaccine-induced complications, a rigorous evaluation of the vaccine-related adverse health
impacts in the pediatric population is urgently needed.

Offit/Crosby

So strange.

Jake Crosby has been dissecting autism research, writing about vaccine injury and exposing corruption and conflicts of interests in vaccine apologists for what, four years now?  And suddenly, in the course of three weeks, he has been branded so dangerous that he must be physically removed from not one, but two separate lectures by vaccine industry defenders... after merely asking a legitimate questions, both about Andrew Wakefield?

First Seth Mnookin said he was a heckler, but now wont answer questions or offer details about said heckling.  Now Paul Offit has upped the ante and announced that Jake was his stalker.

So as with Mnookin, I have written to Dr. Offit and asked him for details of Jake's problematic behavior.  You may recognize much of the letter, as I merely modified the letter I sent to Mnookin a few weeks ago, as this is practically the identical scenario that happened a few weeks ago.

-------- Original Message --------

From:	Ginger Taylor
To:	Paul Offit

Dr. Offit,

I read Jake Crosby's story on being ejected from your most recent event after asking a question during the question and answer period.

From his telling of the story, what you did seems to me be very heavy handed and inappropriate at the least, and some pretty ugly censorship and slander on your part at most.

As you have been untruthful about offenses that were never committed by your opponents in the past, (I reference JB Handley's successful libel lawsuit against you and the Orange County Register's retraction of your charges against a CBS reporter when you were unable to back them up), I tend to believe Jake's story on its face, but I want to allow for the fact that Jake did not report the incident accurately, thus my reason for contacting you with a few questions.

1.  Did he accurately report the incident, and that he has only been in contact with you once before, two years ago, via email?

2.  If so, do you not believe that an apology to him is in order?

3.  If he did not report the incident accurately, what did he get wrong?

4.  If not, what was the "stalking" incident or incidents that you referred that previously took place and why did it preclude him from asking a non-stalking question at this event?  When and where did it take place, what was said, what administrative or security action was taken, and are there recordings of any such events?

5.  Is Jake precluded from asking you questions in the future?  Is he precluded from attending any of your speaking engagements in the future?  Have you given him any notice to stay away, or a cease and desist or has any form of restraining order been issued?

6.  Like Jake, I have been very critical of your writing in my own blogging.  Am I allowed to attend your events and ask you questions?  If so what are the parameters for asking you questions and do they differ from someone who might agree with you on your vaccine stance?

7.  Is there anyone else from the autism, vaccine injury, vaccine safety or anti-vaccine communities, or from the medical community that is skeptical of the safety and efficacy claims made about the current vaccine program, that are not allowed to attend your events or ask you questions?

8.  Finally, (and with brutal frankness) If Mr. Crosby's story is accurate, and he has been appropriate in his interactions with you, and your own desire to silence your challengers is at the heart of why you had him removed from the room, is this a pattern you intend to continue?  Can anyone asking you a question which you believe you will not not be able to answer well, or which might make you look bad in front of the audience, expect to be slandered and escorted from the room?

9.  As Seth Mnookin made similar charges against Jake earlier this month, have you been communicating with him about Jake, and is this a coordinated effort to slander him?

I want to get this cleared up as people have expressed in increasing interest in attending your speaking events and challenging your assertions, many of which (myself included) believe are grossly inaccurate and/or irresponsible.  We certainly want to know up front if you intend on misrepresenting any of us as you seem to have done with Jake or if it is Jake who is misrepresenting you.

Your prompt response is appreciated.

Does Geri Dawson Know What Glutathone Is?

Interesting story...

I was speaking with an autism researcher who told me about an exchange he had with Geri Dawson, the chief science officer for Autism Speaks.  He attended an AS reception at a university and approached Dr. Dawson to ask her what she thought about the research surrounding glutathione and autism.  Dr. Dawson replied that she was not familiar with gluthathione/autism research.

There are 12 studies on GSH and Autism (all of which I have listed below) and all of them have found low glutathione problems are tied to autism.

My son was diagnosed with autism in the spring of 2004, and I became familiar with glutathione/autism research before the summer was out.  I believe it is absolutely unacceptable for the "science officer" of Autism Speaks, whom GQ declared one of the "Rock Stars of Science," to not be intimately familiar with what may be one of the most key aspects of why our children as so susceptible to environmental injury, low glutathione levels that leave our children unable to detox.

And as Autism Speaks has highlighted in their own "AUTISM SPEAKS TOP 10 AUTISM RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS OF 2011" Autism is a condition brought on by environmental exposures.  And being that one of the GSH/autism studies was actually funded by Autism Speaks, again... no reason that Dawson should not be all over this.

The possibility that Dr. Dawson could not even offer a basic response on a question about glutathione, to put in mildly, troubles me.  The fact that she believes that she is qualified to be directing autism research, knowing so little about this environmental illness, makes me angry.  The fact that Geri Dawson has applied to be on the IACC makes me crazy.  Because with her title, and her "Rock Star" PR, she might just be added to it by Thomas Insel.

Just to be sure that I had my fact straight about Dr. Dawson's response to the GSH question.  I wrote to her to confirm:

Subject:	Glutathione
Date:	Tue, 15 Nov 2011 10:59:06 -0500
From:	Ginger Taylor
To:	Geri Dawson

Dr. Dawson,

I am writing a piece on you and would like your response before I publish.

I spoke with a researcher who reports approaching you at an AS reception earlier this year and asking you about glutathione research.  He told me that you said were not familiar with research on glutathione. 

As the glutathione connection in autism is a foundational one to understanding why these particular children are vulnerable to environmentally caused autism (including vaccine induced autism, which you continue to deny despite the evidence HRSA's own admission that vaccine induced encephalopathy can cause autism, and that they list the symptoms of autism on the VICP injury table), and as it is among the first interventions that families implementing biomedical intervention for autism learn about, you can see how alarming that AS's chief science officer seems to have no knowledge of its role in autism causation or treatment. 

I will be writing about this exchange, but wanted to give you a chance to comment before I publish. 

When you were approached about glutathione, did you have any understanding of its role in autism?  What is your understanding now?  Since every study done on GSH and autism has found a link, and since AS has actually funded research on GSH, it is appropriate for AS to have a science officer who is not conversant on it?

Thank you,

That was more than a month ago, and no response.

So what does Dr. Dawson actually know about this environmental illness?  A comment she made on her "Rock Stars of Science" interview might give us a hint.

"Best moment in medicine/research: Recently, my colleagues and I published the first randomized clinical trial showing very positive benefits of early intervention for toddlers with autism. The moment I saw the results of that study was one of the best moments of my research career."

Dr. Dawson's best moment in research was when she confirmed what we have known for probably twenty years, but the fact that children might be prevented from needing that early intervention in the first place simply by testing infant glutathione levels... completely lost on her?

Listing the GSH research for Dr. Dawson in the hopes that she will review it and realize that she might have a chance to prevent the boat from developing a hole it in, rather than having to spend a lifetime bailing it out.

Thimerosal Gives Baby Rats Brain Damage

Lasting neuropathological changes in rat brain after intermittent neonatal administration of thimerosal.

Folia Neuropathol. 2010;48(4):258-69.  Olczak M, Duszczyk M, Mierzejewski P, Wierzba-Bobrowicz T, Majewska MD.

Department of Pharmacology and Physiology of the Nervous System, Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, ul. Sobieskiego 9, Warsaw, Poland.

Abstract
Thimerosal, an organomercurial added as a preservative to some vaccines, is a suspected iatrogenic factor, possibly contributing to paediatric neurodevelopmental disorders including autism. We examined the effects of early postnatal administration of thimerosal (four i.m. injections, 12 or 240 μg THIM-Hg/kg, on postnatal days 7, 9, 11 and 15) on brain pathology in Wistar rats. Numerous neuropathological changes were observed in young adult rats which were treated postnatally with thimerosal. They included: ischaemic degeneration of neurons and "dark" neurons in the prefrontal and temporal cortex, the hippocampus and the cerebellum, pathological changes of the blood vessels in the temporal cortex, diminished synaptophysin reaction in the hippocampus, atrophy of astroglia in the hippocampus and cerebellum, and positive caspase-3 reaction in Bergmann astroglia. These findings document neurotoxic effects of thimerosal, at doses equivalent to those used in infant vaccines or higher, in developing rat brain, suggesting likely involvement of this mercurial in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Do aluminum vaccine adjuvants contribute to the rising prevalence of autism?

Tomljenovic L, Shaw CA.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are serious multisystem developmental disorders and an urgent global public health concern. Dysfunctional immunity and impaired brain function are core deficits in ASD. Aluminum (Al), the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant, is a demonstrated neurotoxin and a strong immune stimulator. Hence, adjuvant Al has the potential to induce neuroimmune disorders. When assessing adjuvant toxicity in children, two key points ought to be considered: (i) children should not be viewed as "small adults" as their unique physiology makes them much more vulnerable to toxic insults; and (ii) if exposure to Al from only few vaccines can lead to cognitive impairment and autoimmunity in adults, is it unreasonable to question whether the current pediatric schedules, often containing 18 Al adjuvanted vaccines, are safe for children? By applying Hill's criteria for establishing causality between exposure and outcome we investigated whether exposure to Al from vaccines could be contributing to the rise in ASD prevalence in the Western world. Our results show that: (i) children from countries with the highest ASD prevalence appear to have the highest exposure to Al from vaccines; (ii) the increase in exposure to Al adjuvants significantly correlates with the increase in ASD prevalence in the United States observed over the last two decades (Pearson r=0.92, p<0.0001); and (iii) a significant correlation exists between the amounts of Al administered to preschool children and the current prevalence of ASD in seven Western countries, particularly at 3-4months of age (Pearson r=0.89-0.94, p=0.0018-0.0248). The application of the Hill's criteria to these data indicates that the correlation between Al in vaccines and ASD may be causal. Because children represent a fraction of the population most at risk for complications following exposure to Al, a more rigorous evaluation of Al adjuvant safety seems warranted.

Dear Autism

Dear Autism,

Today you kicked the neighbor, colored on the walls, overturned chairs and ripped pillows to shreds.  You launched off countertops, scratched my son's legs bloody, spit on the mirrors and windows.  You eliminated all the food my son tried to digest in the form of black paste.  You took bite after bite of an apple, spit the fruit meat into the air, then smeared it into my son's hair and face.  You took his speech and replaced it with two solid hours of blood curdling screams. You attempted to break down the front and side doors with all your might.  You opened the car door while our vehicle was in motion, risking the lives of everyone on board.  I know now, a five point harness means nothing to you. You threw family photos across the room and held the shattered glass right next to my son's beautiful brown eyes.  The eyes, you and the Rubella virus are destroying just a tiny bit more with each passing day.  Worst of all, you took my son's joy.  Our Noah is delightful, kind-hearted and loving.  I know you laughed when his three year old brother Liam, shook, screamed and cried, "I hate it!  Make it stop Mommy!  I...I...I hate him!"   I think you particularly enjoyed that.  Let me tell you something.  I know who sent you.  A rapidly growing subculture of intelligent and professional parents around the country know too.  We know about the select few, growing richer and richer, profitting immensely off of a generation of chronically ill children that just "happened."  We understand the legislation that caused this, the motives of doctors turning a bind eye to it, and the politicians and capitalists benefitting from it.

If you are wondering, this peaceful moment for me to write was made possible because the effects from the levo-carnitine our precious Noah needs to take to counteract the effects of the  mitochondrial disease you caused are finally starting to wear off.  Instead of kicking, hitting, screaming and trying to escape the house, he is simply running, spinning and spitting.  Yes, this constitutes, "a peaceful moment".  So friends, please send this to everyone you know who many have a family history of allergies, asthma, autoimmune disease or ADHD.   You could save their children's lives.  I know with all that I am that Noah wants to spare every human possible the pain and suffering he endures daily.  I too, do this not to cause fear or vent--I do it to EDUCATE.  I do not want to rob you of your sense of safety and well being.  On the contrary, I want to provoke you to become a specialist in your child's health.  I have in my possession over 30 studies that show the link between autism and vaccines must be further investigated.  I would be delighted to send them to you.

Apparently Your Tongue Goes Down Your GI Tract and Up To Your Brain

J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2011 Aug 8. [Epub ahead of print]

From The Tongue To The Gut.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The physiology of human taste enjoyed an unprecedented expansion of knowledge brought forward by modern genetics and molecular biology. In the last 10 years the cellular organization of taste receptors from taste buds distributed in the various papillae of the tongue and the soft palate was enlightened. This molecular revolution rapidly expanded over and above the tongue, since several papers reporting the presence of taste receptors in non-gustatory tissues (like the gut and the brain) appeared. Hence the issue of perception of food molecules is not anymore confined to the field of nutrition and food preferences, but is rapidly expanding to gastrointestinal function and, possibly, to gut dysfunction too. In children functional gastrointestinal diseases are strictly correlated to food preference and food aversion and up to now the tools to face these kind of problems were the basic nutritional requirements, familial good sense and a lot of patience: blunt tools to face very common and disturbing complaints. The fact that taste receptors are expressed down the whole of intestinal tract is of particular interest, because of their possible role in digestive behavior and absorption of nutrients; therefore recent and future discoveries in this field will make possible to fine-tune new, sharper tools to face children with functional gastrointestinal diseases.

What Do Merck Employees Think of the SANE Vax Discovery of Gardasil Contamination

No reaction from official channels on S.A.N.E. Vax's find of genetically modified HPV DNA that is in the Gardasil vaccine and one of its victims blood.... even though it not supposed to be in either. 


But Merck employees are commenting.  Anonymously of course on Cafe Pharma (the table below is all wonky and I am too tired to fix it... so go to the source to read).  This is indicative of the sentiment:

"charred saran wrap, now this...I gotta get another job"

"And Merck will handle this just like they handled Vioxx...deny, deny, deny until the FDA is forced to do something. It's one thing when adults are hurt, when kids get hurt, look out. Merck will finally get what it deserves."

"Great, as if trying to sell a vaccine with this many reactions isn't hard enough already..."

"When do we understand that something is wrong and needs to be fixed?"

"The most depressing thing about these posts is that none of us are surprised that this happened...maybe it's time to cut the cord."

When your own employees call you corrupt, you are corrupt.

SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil To .. SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil To FDA: Requests Public Safety Investigation TROY, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 6, 2011 - SANE Vax Inc. announced today they sent a certified letter to FDA Commissioner, Dr. Margaret Hamburg, to inform the agency 100% of 13 samples of Merck & Companies HPV 4 Quadrivalent vaccine, Gardasil™ have been found to be contaminated with recombinant HPV DNA. The vaccine vials were from different lots currently marketed in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, France and Poland. Medical consumers from these countries asked SANE Vax Inc. to help determine if there is residual recombinant HPV DNA in the Gardasil™ vaccine currently used by their doctors. They are concerned that the recombinant DNA, if present, may have triggered some of the autoimmune-based inflammatory disorders and malignant tumors observed among children/young women after receiving Gardasil™ vaccinations. According to Norma Erickson, president of SANE Vax, “A sexually naïve girl developed acute juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at age 13 within 24 hours after the third Gardasil™ injection and her blood sample - tested two years later - was found to be positive for HPV DNA by a local clinical laboratory.” A possible connection between HPV DNA in Gardasil™ and leukemia or lymphoma has also been raised by vaccine safety advocates, said Erickson. The letter sent to Dr. Margaret Hamburg at the FDA stated, “One of the HPV DNA fragments detected in the vaccine is part of a synthetic construct (GenBank Locus SCU55993) for HPV11 major capsid protein L1 gene, a recombinant DNA genetically engineered specifically for manufacturing of the Gardasil vaccine.” “There is no doubt that the HPV DNA found in the vaccine represents an adventitious agent left over from the DNA recombinant manufacturing process with potential adverse impacts on health safety of those vaccinated. The recombinant DNA found in Gardasil is very tightly bound to aluminum hydroxyphosphate. When injected intramuscularly, this combination may function as a DNA vaccine with uncertain consequences,” said Erickson. Both the FDA and the vaccine manufacturer assumed that there was no HPV DNA in Gardasil™ when the vaccine was approved for marketing, according to SANE Vax. “Because one hundred percent of the samples tested were positive for HPV DNA contamination, SANE Vax Inc. requests the FDA investigate the extent of the HPV DNA contamination in the Gardasil HPV4 vaccine currently on the market and take appropriate actions to ensure public safety regarding future shipments,” stated the letter. The HPV DNA testing was performed by Dr. Sin Hang Lee, a pathologist at the Milford Hospital pathology laboratory known in using cutting-edge DNA sequencing for molecular diagnoses. This methodology was first reported to the FDA in 2006 and has been published in various peer-reviewed scientific journals, stated Erickson. Contact: SANE Vax, Inc.

At one time almost half of the vaccines were not being manufactured and we lost market share that was hard to gain back.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T Been at Merck for a long time now. Pipelines comes and go. This is not the first time we have no had a blockbuster drug coming out. I do understand that the manufacturing process can have issues. Those issues need to be picked up and addressed before it makes it's way out the door. Once it's out the door and to the public there is no turning back. You can't un-ring a bell. It does not damage Gardasil but all the drugs we make. This has to stop because it's getting to the point where we will have 0.0 trust by our customers. The manufacturing process is the easy part of the chain. We should not have issues like this. Maybe we are not staffing the department with the right people.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T All the pharma's bend the truth a little. It goes with the business. The issue is that we can't screw up the product during the manufactoring process. We need a better system in place to pick this shit up. I am sure we have a department that checks this crap. They are sleeping behind the wheel. Not only does it screw with my sales, it fucks up getting products through the pipeline because the FDA has no faith in us. The new products is how we make our money.

Probably why Clarinex took so long to come to market- the FDA does not like to reward slackers and they were definitely not up to it for manufacturing. Hey- Merck manufactures products with foreign particles lately too- maybe the Schering folks took over here!

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T One of the issues is there is little male leadership. QA is dominated by females who just don't get it. The leadership is non existent and needs to be changed. They cost the company big $$$$, to stupid and are out of their league. If this keeps up the 500 million dollar fine 10 years ago will be small.

You'd think Dick Clark coming from manufacturing to be CEO before would mean that division would be rock solid, but it's the opposite. Now, we have legal running everything and destroying innovation and business. Dick Clark held a clipboard and watched tablets being pressed in the 70's at Elkton. Rightly or wrongly, at that site (primarily active ingredient site) those guys in the drug product building were considered to be a cut below the average talent level in MCMD. He is background is very much like a lot of others; university degree, military training, keep the troops and the conveyers running. That's about as far from the art of pharmaceutical manufacturing as you can get. But it forever qualified him as solidly grounded in manufacturing. There are a lot of other leaders in lots of other areas at Merck with similarly shallow resumes that are making decisions for which their vaunted experience is insufficient. It is part of the curse of Merck's golden boy talent process. Pass through quickly on your way and keep leave it behind is the usual track record for the leadership team. If they think heard enough they actually might remember someone from their past that actually did know something useful. And this rapid, shallow leader development is not only in the pharma industry.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T He is a dummy. Manufacturing is only as good as the process and how well quality control detects and corrects issues. If the process and QA is horrible (like it is now) outsourcing will not fix anything. Get competent people in QA and hire experts who know process and outsourcing will not be needed. In the old days everyone at Merck was the best in class regardless of the position. Now we have fools in important positions (QA) that give upper management (fools also) an excuse to move jobs elsewhere. HR, PLEASE READ: clip QA before your job gets outsourced also.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T I've seen it firsthand - QA spends more of their energy figuring out how to get questionable stuff released than it does getting problems properly fixed so that they will not re-occur. Of course, QA has lots of rules and regulations and SOPs but when push comes to shove, management can always get objections swept aside. If the leaders of the manufacturing group actually had really useful prior experience, they would be 10 X more efficient at spotting serious issues than any outside auditor. And formerly with Merck, if your management spotted deficiencies in your area, such a discovery could be career-threatening. But those outside auditors still are finding things so it must mean only one of three things: The management are clueless about the people, facilities, products, processes, and systems they manage; management is not spending any time looking for deficiencies; or management just doesn't care. Or perhaps all three? God help the general public when its products get 100% supplied from the outside - under (by then) even more under-informed, absentee dimwitted Merck "vigilance". Merck now sells what provides profitable self-convenience - not any real quality.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T Let me help, Willie A Deese started around 2004 at Merck. He is as dumb as a stump. He had to find people less intelligent than himself so he hired complete morons. Then in 2009 the merger happened. SP had plenty of complete idiots who fit that description in QA (especially at Kenilworth headquarters). He wants the process to fail because his game plan is to move all manufacturing outside the USA. The QA people are too stupid to understand that the more bad press we receive, the quicker it will happen. They will be out of work also.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T The problems at West Point started well before Willie Deese arrived. This is not to say that Willie has the vision it takes to reverse the situation. I would say the erosion of the manufacturing operations started sometime after the ambitious middle management abandoned West Point and Rahway so they could spend time kissing ass in the New Jersey countryside at Whitehouse Station. This change in emphasis soon converted the formerly competent operations groups into transfer lounges for PowerPoint-pushing self-promoters. QA problems are like children run wild problems. Absentee (or utterly ignorant) parents and babysitters.

If a customer had a choice of 2 similar drugs we always won outright because we were a safe and reliable company. Because QA and all there major issues we do not have the customers confidence. 15 years ago we would have 90% of the hep-c market just because of who we were. Because of the major screw-ups in production and QA in a comatose state , we have little crap companies take us to the woodshed because we lost the customers confidence in who we are. I have been here 32 years and we used to steamroll all the other companies because our house was in order. Now, as the comic book pogo said “"We have met the enemy and he is us." I guess the pogo comic strip shows my age.

I am in sales or a rep or whatever you want to call me. I love how people think we are the horrible and over-payed people. Now that I think about it, QA are truly scourge of the earth. I just can't imagine how the parent feel right now because QA is such a group of incompetent people. Is it worth the $$$ to, I don't feel like typing

Gardasil is not supposed to have any whole virus. It might trigger some of the autoimmune-based inflammatory disorders and malignant tumors observed among children/young women after receiving Gardasil.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T Wake up people. Merck cheats in all aspects of the business. Tax, sales, production, R&D, clinical filing. The data is just too consistent to think that Billion-dollar fines for tax evasion, Medicare fraud, Consent Decrees, HPV contamination, and Vioxx are isolated incidents. Better perfect your cheating skills and get with the program or get the hell out. New Merck's reputation is 180 degrees away from its legacy namesake's reputation.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T If you want to fudge the numbers on taxes, sales and marketing by all means do it. Don’t destroy a child’s life. It’s not like cheating on a test during college. If QA can sit by while this is going on they should not be there. If you’re a manager and you don’t have the courage to lead people and speak your mind on issues, maybe you’re not the right person for the job. Maybe they hired people who don’t understand the ramification of what they do. I love Merck but maybe I am things that new merck is old merck. I would love to know how the QA people sleep at night after hearing about this news? If well, they are nothing more that garbage whose life’s are so empty and void of meaning that they will never find happiness no matter what they do in life. They have the morals of a filthy pig.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T This is making me crazy!! As a former Merck rep that has followed this vaccine since launch, I am continually agitated of the strong arm and big $$$ incentive/persuasion politically has kept the consumer and healthcare provider uninformed of the risk/benefit quotient. Shame on the politicians in states that have mandated this vaccine for school age girls.... another of the "herd" vaccines. When I took my two daughters for their vaccine updates two weeks ago, I listened to the pedatrician's "recommended" presentation for the HPV vaccine. And asked a few questions to see how knowledgeable." How many women died last year from Cervical Cancer?" Her answer was "24". lol..24 plus maybe 3 more zeros would be a little more accurate. "So, Doctor, you want every 11 year old girl to get a vaccine with all the risks/side effects(possible life threatening/limited in vivo study data/unknown age to booster) to prevent 24 cervical cancer deaths? Of which cervical cancer deaths are generally in older women and my daughter would have many years before in that risk category?". I would like to tell these pediatricians I would regard their wisdom as intelligent and highly educated health professionals sans the robotic verbage from the pharma. Interestingly, not one comment on the risks/benefits or "fair balance" as we call it. As an informed consumer, I am challenged in even trusting these physicians with my and my children's health. But I point the finger at our government, big pharma and the mighty $$$$. The daughter of a woman I work with is suffering from serious disorders that came on after her Gardisil vaccine. They have contacted Merck and all sorts of govt. agencies to report and seeking help. Of course, denial it is related. We are only the little people. But, please be an informed consumer in your choice to the benefit of your child getting this vaccine. Read, read, read and do not depend on anyone else looking after your/your children's health and welfare.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T It is called blood money. Not only is it a bad drug that was pushed for political reasons, QA cannot pickup extremely harmful issues. I wonder if the people in QA are confident enough to get their children the injections? I think not because that blood money is too close to home.

There has to be another reason (wink, wink) If the upper management is looking for something on the side I will give them 1000$ to go get a prostitute. This way they can hire good managers and people for QA rather than whoring them out through Merck. Merck has become a brothel now and it’s destroying children. I miss old Merck. It's a good investment because it will save people.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T It does explain a lot as far as the QA department but they were not the only ones. They may have had the most activity but there were also a lot of other people. I felt bad because I knew some of the spouses.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T 1. Previous post: It's not news. It has been that way for the last 10 years. It does explain how the QA managers received their jobs. It is funny how they try to hide the obvious but it none of my business 2. Gardasil is actually a safe product. There have been very few documented major issues with it. There are side effects but all drug have them. It has been through many regulatory agencies and even with the bad press, no one is moving to take it off the market. 3. The Gardasil that has DNA Contamination is a issue. It can have very adverse effect on children. What is most disturbing is the 13 samples came from different lots. It will not have a good outcome but I hope it is not extremely bad. Time will tell. The manufacturing and QA department really needs a overhaul. I am not to judge moral characters but when something like this happens it does make you wonder. There is no way QA did not pick this up. They just ignored it and hoped it would not bubble up. They were wrong and something needs to be done. William Deese should have been let go 3 months after he was hired. He does not bring anything to the table and has made things worse. At best he should only be purchasing ingredients and that is a stretch. QA needs some help. I don't thing the proper leaders are in management positions. It's a tough job and you need a certain type of personality to run it. It's one of the few departments that can cause major damage. It is clear there is no check and balances or they are being ignored. I am not in sales but I do feel bad for them. They now need to focus their energy on damage control rather than selling and pitching information to customers. What is sad is that this could have been avoided if the proper people were in place.

Re: SANE Vax, Inc. Reports Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Contamination in Gardasil T So the issue is how long has this DNA Contamination been out on the market? Maybe it just started and they tested 13 lots and just got lucky. The rest could be OK and therfor no issues?

If there is HPV DNA in 100% of 13-14 separate lots of Gardasil, it is there because the process cannot remove it. So it probably is being made perfectly - perfectly badly that is. So it also means that this DNA was always there and it was there when the process was filed with the regulators. Talk to those Merck geniuses responsible for filing this product about how they missed this contaminant. It seems that those repsonsible in R&D and registration (and by extension upper management) are applying the same standards that made Vioxx such a big success (for the legal profession).

Gardasil Patient Product Inserts stated that there is ‘no viral DNA’ in the Gardasil vaccine. That is until April 2011 – when the line was glaringly absent from U.S. product inserts. I like the filthy pig comment also. This is a very colorful thread.

Doesn't take a genius to find it all, just someone using a mouse in Google. It's pretty obvious when you look back through all the years of information that something is up - when all American product material suddenly dropped the no dna bit earlier this year. Maybe QA actually realised something was wrong, and was doing a CMA.

Maybe QA actually realised something was wrong, and was doing a CMA. Quite possibly the DNA is present at very low (formerly undetectable?) levels and always has been. But maybe someone finally got sufficiently interested in developing a better test. If the DNA is now being found because of a more efficient test, one might safely bet that the test was not developed or applied due to Merck's initiative. Not looking for trouble when they ought to defines Merck (and most of pharma today) and particularly Merck's QA. Taking potential contamination references out of inserts isn't going to happen without FDA approval. If this insert statement is a fact, where was the FDA in all this?

Such knowledge of specific and timely events or situations clearly should not be communicated in any format. There is no merit to such a declaration and should not be perceived as fact. This was not common information but easy to get. This was the same thing going around with the whole vioxx issue. The first thing that the lawyers do is a discovery process. Going through the internet, see what was sent out in order to find out what case Merck will have. The more information given, the harder the defense is. It's all about what you can hide and what the public thinks. Vioxx case had email issues and other information where they were posted on the web. This is some jerk off that is associated with Merck making some useless reminder about putting things on the web. Maybe Merck does not understand that we have many disgruntle employees who would love to stick it right up Merck’s ass. Also this is Anonymous.
