Gardasil
We have been spending our days getting all our ducks armed for bear and in a row--all of our anti-Gardasil ducks, that is. From checking my various areas on the internet, to finding moderators to listening to the tragic and painful stories of victims of the Gardasil vaccine, it has been a very busy time for me and my team.
Gardasil, as you should know by now, is an HPV vaccine sold by MERCK, a vaccine with a flawed marketing campaign targeting young girls. The premise is that the vaccine will protect young girls from cervical cancer, as well as a couple of varieties of HPV. But the vaccine is NOT a cancer preventative, and it has not been thoroughly tested. Not only does Gardasil not protect everyone, it does not prevent all types of cervical cancer. According to current science, there are fifteen types of HPV associated with cervical cancer but Gardasil only counters HPV types 16 and 18. The vaccine requires three doses to start and scientists don't even know how frequently boosters will be needed. They don't know because they did not adequately research this before putting the vaccine out on the market using our young girls as guinea pigs.
MERCK was even pushing to have this untried vaccine REQUIRED by states. Governer Perry of Texas--who bypassed the state legislation with an executive order--has ties to Merck. Mike Toomey, Perry’s former chief of staff is one of the drug company’s three lobbyists in Texas. The governor also received $6,000 from Merck’s political action committee during his re-election campaign. "Merck is bankrolling efforts to pass state laws across the country mandating Gardasil for girls as young as 11 or 12." As a mother, should I have to sign a waver to protect my daughter from having a potentially dangerous vaccine forced on her?
What makes this vaccine so terrible? It's not just the fear that some parents have that administering a vaccine against stds to nine year olds will encourage sexual activity. The concern is based on much more concrete issues than that. 7195 of them, in fact.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) now has 7195 individual adverse reactions listed--and as it is a database not everyone knows about, not all of the adverse reactions are being reported. The Centers for Disease Control report over 9,000 adverse reactions for Gardasil. There is a rising total of deaths connected with the administration of this vaccine; as well as have been reports of seizure activity, tingling, numbness and loss of sensation in the fingers and limbs. There is serious question about girls initially having short-term health problems associated with getting this vaccine that could turn into long-term neurological or immune system disorders; and there is serious question about administering this vaccine at the same time as others.
Gardasil is a vaccine developed by Merck to prevent Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). HPV is known to cause cervical cancer. Although Merck has claimed that Gardasil has no significant side effects, reports filed with the FDA suggest otherwise.
The FDA Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System has more than 8,000 incidents associated with Gardasil. The most serious complications reported include death and the development of blood clots.
If you or a loved suffered a serious adverse event, such as death, disability or blood clot following the administration of Gardasil, please contact me erin@brockovich.com. I will have one of our staff of experienced attorneys review your claim to advise you about your rights.

There are many mitigating circumstances for the cancers that come from HPV, and many other cancers could be attributed to the predisposition for problems caused by the extensive 102+ years worth of DNA that has been damaged by consuming petroleum and wood based coal tar food additives. (Color, Flavor and the Preservatives BHA BHT and TBHQ)
Most doctors and, or the entire medical community at large have chosen to ignore, or are simply ignorant to the damage and dangers of consuming these known group one carcinogens, or perhaps they have an undying faith in the Food and Drug Administration.
They are all in denial!
The inability to rationalize is one of the biggest problems caused by humans ingesting these toxins.
I have had such a horrible time trying to get people to believe in what I have found as being the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth that I often feel that I should have given up a long time ago, but as you stated in your email, you told me to stick to it and not give up. And I haven't, I must thank you for giving me the will and my sticktoitiveness to continue growing and learning about just how bad these toxins are for all humans.
I hope my messages reaches more people, the mass media refuses to even report my own personal story.
But I still refuse to surrender.
I will not give up, I will go to my grave knowing that I left my mark on the lives of so many people needlessly suffering, if only I could get more to understand and believe, My motivation is that the parents of autistic children should see an marked improvement in their childrens problems by simply following my advice and avoid all artificial food additives.
If one child is helped by my hard work than I will be satisfied with my efforts!
Thank you for being my inspiration and for everything you have done for so many people.
Erin, You're the best!

We received a letter from school stapled to our daughter's report card the end of last year that more or less suggested that she should get an HPV shot (at 12), and where we could get it. (Department of Heath and Human Services, Vaccine Information Statement, 2/2/07)
It does not list the company name, or Gardasil, just HPV vaccine.
The flyer (that I have here in front of me) claims that this vaccine is "routinely recommended" for girls 11-12 and may be given to girls as young as 9.
I thought it was fairly new (I had read about it in the news), so I found that hard to believe. Told her it'd be great if it worked, and we'd watch it for the next couple years.
After reading this article, I really hope I'm not the only parent in our district who didn't think it'd been tested long enough!

I am a 16 year old victim of the gardasil vaccine! After I had the shot I became ill. Two weeks later I could not wake up, walk, or talk. I would have died if my boyfriend would have never almarmed my mother of my weird behavior I would have died in my sleep. Soon after I was diagnose with Miller Phiser varient of Guillian bre. My primary doctor soon linked the two but will not state his positivity due to legal reasons. Now I still suffer. I have consint migrains, and joint pain along with swelling. I no longer can attend school for it is to painful to bare. I love to learn I hate that my education is at risk because i was trying to protect myself. Now I fear i will never be the same.
I WANT MY LIFE BACK!

When my husband and I saw this commercial on TV a while ago my husband asked me, "are you going to get that for our daughter?" I looked at him like he was crazy because who in the hell thinks a vaccination that cures cancer doesnt sound like a risk? Let me restate that. Who in the hell would let their child get this vaccine without at least 20 years of research? Cause that is what it would take for me to let my child ingest a cancer curing vaccine. Reminds me of the cure all Vioxx and Meridia. I would rather put my child's life in the hands of a higher power than a man-made machine called the FDA

Erin,
I happened to run across your blog doing some research for a paper I'm writing about "Erin Brockovich" the film.
I appreciate that you posted this information about Gardisil. I have a daughter who will turn fifteen in a few months, and another daughter who is nine. I was considering getting my older daughter vaccinated with Gardisil, but now I will absolutely not!
I will be sure to pass this information along.
Sincerely,
Vanessa

Hi Erin
I live in the UK and the authorities here have started vaccinations of young girls using Cervarix as the preferred choice of drug against cervical cancer rather than Gardasil. The choice of Cervarix appears to be due to cost and GlaxoSmithKline has captured the UK market as a result. I was not aware of the problems of Gardasil and now I am worried about what Cervarix could do. Cervarix has side affects and it is still so new, having been rushed to the market. Cervarix has no track record as yet but the British authorities are going to vaccinate all school age girls with it. If there is something wrong with this drug a whole generation of British girls could suffer. I am writing to my member of parliament Bob Russell about my concerns.

I got the Gardisil injection, and no body I know got sick... I am from Australia and I haven't heard of the problems that come from it. I am kind of scared now!
But I will tell you if anything comes up.
I am doing you for my year 9 Night of the Notables!

My daughter was 14 when she received her 1st shot last November, it was administered with the flu shot. We were getting ready to drive to our familys for the holidays and I didn't want to risk her getting the flu. By the time we made the 24 hour drive she was running a fever and vomiting. She was in bed for the entire Thanksgiving Holiday. She had terrible headaches and couldn't hardly move. When I returned home she had a doctors appt. I told her doctor how sick she was. The doctor blamed it on a bad flu vaccine. I trusted her doctor and thought that was the worse case of the flu I had ever seen. Shortly after that my daughter started having shooting pains in her arms and legs. I took her to the doctor and he said it was stress. Okay....I didn't quite buy it. Then her foot starting hurting really bad and she could hardly walk because of the pain. I started icing her feet every day. We thought maybe it was a callous, I put mole skin on it and got gel insoles for her shoes. I took her to another doctor who said it was plantar fascitis, I asked him straight out if he thought she had periphreal neuropathy. He totally dismissed it.
Guess what ...Its periphreal neurapathy. Who ever heard of a 15 year old getting periphreal neurapaty? Well shortly after that the other foot started burning with pain. she was wearing 2 com casts to protect her feet. Well shortly after that she started fainting all the time. She literally collaspes after any excertion. She can barely stand any more. Of course none of the doctors will admit that she has been poisoned by gardasil. I know that she has been. These are the symptons:
Migrane headaches almost daily
fainting
periphreal neurapathy
clammyness
fatigue
seizures
bloody stools
no periods since i can remember
high blood sugar
she was known to have several allergies before the injection and polycystic ovary syndrome
she is seriously ill and none of the doctors are taking her illness seriously
