The year of living outrageously got
off to a big start in early February when Texas Governor
Rick Perry issued an order mandating that all Texas
girls entering sixth grade receive a shot of Gardasil,
the vaccine that protects against certain strains of
the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause cervical
cancer. Mandating a vaccine to prevent a sexually transmitted
virus that's easily detected and treated when women
have annual gynecological exams is bad enough. The frosting
on the cake: Turns out Gov. Perry has some links to
Merck (the maker of Gardasil), not the least of which
includes a $6,000 contribution Merck's political action
committee made to the governor's re-election campaign.

About six months later, the British
Medical Journal reported that the FDA's Vaccine Adverse
Event Reporting System (VAERS) had received reports
of three deaths and more than 1,600 other adverse reactions
linked to Gardasil over the past year. http://www.hsibaltimore.com/ealerts/ea200708/ea20070822a.html
Texas wasn't the only state interested
in forcing vaccines on school children. On a blustery
Saturday morning in November, hundreds of parents lined
up outside a Maryland courthouse – ordered there
by the state's attorney to explain why they had not
had their children vaccinated. They also had the option
of bringing their children along so the kids could receive
multiple vaccinations on the spot, even though this
might have posed a health risk for some children. And
again, money was at the root of the state action. According
to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
(AAPS), a substantial amount of state funding for the
school district would have been lost if students and
their parents failed to comply with the ordered vaccines.

Thousands Have Gotten Sick from Gardasil HPV
By Dr. Mercola
Gardasil, the cervical cancer vaccine
recommended for girls as young as 12 years old, is causing
side effects ranging from seizures and numbness to dizzy
spells, fainting and paralysis.
More than 17 girls a week in Australia
have experienced such reactions after receiving the
vaccination, but the country’s Department of Health
and Aging refuses to release their details.
Further, as of November 30, 2007, 496
adverse reaction reports were filed with Australia’s
Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA). Of them, 468 had
the cervical cancer vaccine as the sole suspected cause.
In the United States, up to 1,700 women
have reported adverse reactions from Gardasil, including
at least seven deaths.
To date, more than 10 million doses
of Gardasil have been distributed worldwide.
TGA noted that the safety of Gardasil
was being monitored by officials in Australia and overseas,
and that the adverse reactions are consistent with those
expected from any vaccine.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:
There is no doubt that many well-intentioned moms out
there are being deceived, or at the least seriously
misled -- by Merck, Gardasil’s maker, the media,
public health officials, and perhaps their own physicians
-- into believing that Gardasil is a good thing for
their daughters.
But instead of hearing about Gardasil,
the “long-awaited cure for cervical cancer”
(as it’s portrayed in the media), what if it was
put to you this way:
Gardasil has caused thousands of serious
reactions (some of them deadly), and your daughter can
still get human papillomavirus (HPV) after receiving
it.
As Merck's own literature says, Gardasil
does not protect women against some "non-vaccine"
HPV types. So allow me to repeat myself: even if girls
accept the risks and get vaccinated, they can still
get HPV.
And as the above article illustrates,
the risks are significant and are being reported not
only in the United States but overseas as well.
In the United States, as of August 2007
a review of the National Vaccine Information Center
revealed the following, quite alarming, statistic about
this unnecessary vaccine: 2,207 adverse reactions to
Gardasil have been reported. Among them:
5 girls died
31 were considered life-threatening
1,385 required a visit to the emergency room
451 of the girls have not recovered as of July 2007
51 of the girls were disabled
All of these side effects for a vaccine that MAY (but
then again, may not) prevent HPV -- an infection that
clears up on its own 90 percent of the time.
Rather than subjecting your daughter
(and now possibly your son!) to this potentially dangerous
vaccine, you may want to nip the problem in the bud
before it ever starts. Here’s how:
-
Recognize that cervical cancer
(or any cancer) is not caused by a “vaccine
deficiency.”
-
Talk to your kids about HPV.
This infection is sexually transmitted, so it can
be prevented 100 percent with lifestyle choices.
-
Realize the power of your emotions.
An emerging school of thought called German New
Medicine (GNM) shows how specific stressful events
or “conflict shocks” trigger cancer and
other diseases in your body. Dr.
Ryke Geerd Hamer, who developed GNM, believes that
you cannot die of cancer in and of itself. Rather,
the disease of cancer is a phase that occurs while
your body heals itself from this emotional trauma.
People worsen after a cancer
diagnosis, then, because of the corresponding mental
stress, sleep deprivation, being given a negative
prognosis, and even due to conventional cancer treatments.
The key to overcoming the disease lies in resolving
your emotional conflicts.
-
Keep your immune system strong.
A healthy immune system
is better able to handle a heavier emotional and
physical stress load.
Gardasil Dangers Starting to Emerge
Problems with the cervical cancer vaccine
for girls as young as 9 starting to emerge.
By Dr. Sherri Tenpenny -
NewsWithViews.com
Five schoolgirls at Sacred Heart Girls'
College in suburban Melbourne, Australia, were confirmed
to have taken ill after receiving an injection of Gardasil,
the newest vaccine to be mandated for young girls. Soon
after the vaccination, twenty-six girls were seen at
the campus medical clinic; five were admitted to the
hospital after being injected. Two of the girls kept
in overnight in observation for dizziness; one had temporary
paralysis and loss of speech.[1]
In the U.S., symptoms similar to those
experienced by the Australian girls have been reported
to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS.)
Since the approval of the vaccine in June, 2006, there
have been 1261 adverse events reported. Here are a few
examples directly from the VAERS reporting pages:
“Immediately after injection patient
complained of severe pain at site. Fell off table and
fainted for approximately 10 - 15 seconds. Hyperventilating.
Complained of headache, blurry vision; vision test was
normal. Vomiting x 1 in parking lot and speech was momentarily
inarticulate. Sent to ER where her neurological exam
was normal except for word recall "coffee instead
of coughing" and said "Sired instead of tired."
“A female patient was vaccinated
with a first dose of HPV Vaccine. Subsequently as the
patient was leaving the examination room, the patient
fainted. The patient recovered shortly after fainting.”
“A 14 year old female was vaccinated
with Gardasil. It was reported that the patient was
sitting on a bench. When the nurse left the room, the
patient apparently fainted and ended up falling off
bench. It was reported that it was unsure if the patient
had broken her nose but there was blood. At the time
of this report, the outcome of the events were unknown.”
VAERS is a passive surveillance system
and depends upon voluntary reporting by clinicians of
serious health problems following vaccination. Reports
can also be filed by parents. Although VAERS reports
do not prove causation, they can provide a warning system
that a vaccine may be causing health problems.
It has been estimated that fewer than
10 percent, even as low as 1 to 4 percent, of adverse
events from a prescription drug or a vaccine are ever
reported.[2] If only 1 percent of all adverse events
associated with Gardasil are being reported to VAERS,
there could have been as many as 126,000 acute health
problems from the vaccine in less than one year. The
long term neurological or immune system complications
are completely unknown. It is uncertain if any of these
vaccinated children will go on to develop fertility
problems, cancer or damage to their genes, all of which
Merck admits in its product insert have not been studied.
John Iskander, from the Center for Disease
Control’s immunization safety office has said,
"There is absolutely no reason to think that there
is anything in this vaccine that's going to make people
more likely to faint.”[3] Despite his assurances,
there are ingredients in the vaccine that can cause
recipients to become dizzy and faint.
Histidine, an amino acid, readily converts
into another amino acid, histamine, when it enters the
body. When released, histamine causes redness, swelling,
itching and allergic reactions leading to widening of
capillaries, decreased blood pressure… people can
faint. The vaccine also contains Polysorbate 80, an
agent used in creams, ointments, lotions, and multiple
medical preparations including vitamin oils, and anticancer
agents. Polysorbate 80 is a can cause potentially fatal
reactions in including anaphylaxis, characterized by
a sharp drop in blood pressure, hives, and breathing
difficulties… people can faint.[4]
Fainting spells after vaccination can
have serious consequences. An article published in the
Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine (1997),
reviewed the 697 reports of syncope (fainting) that
occurred after vaccination and had been reported to
VAERS between 1990 and 1995. More than 97 percent of
the events have occurred within 30 minutes of a vaccine,
establishing a causal relationship. Of these, six patients
sustained a serious head injury, including skull fracture,
cerebral bleeding and cerebral contusion. Three of these
patients required brain surgery and two were left with
substantial residual neurological deficits at six months
to two years after follow-up.[5] Dizziness and fainting
after vaccination is not something to be taken lightly.
As for the children in Australia, the
vaccination program is scheduled to continue next month.
“The college is confident that this program of
vaccination is safe to offer to students," says
Christopher Dalton, the school principal. "We will
be working with the Department of Human Services Victoria
and the City of Monash Immunization Services in the
planning vaccination program."
The assumption is that illness and dizziness
are “normal reactions” to a vaccine. The overriding
theme is that “We've have a vaccine, and we will
use it.”
