Absurd Vaccine Marketing -- Cervical Cancer Vaccinations for Boys

School-age boys are now being advised to get vaccinated with Gardasil, Merck’s cervical cancer vaccine, according to mainstream media reports. Previously, the vaccine was only recommended for girls.

The new male recommendation is based on the notion that boys could get throat cancer if they have oral sex with an HPV-infected girl.

According to some, however, recommending Gardasil to boys is little more than a scare campaign aimed at gaining market share from teenage boys.

Even the advice to give mandatory Gardasil vaccinations to young girls is simply disease mongering designed to sell vaccines. This is because girls who have HPV do not automatically get cervical cancer.

Girls who have healthy immune systems, and who lead healthy lifestyles, have little risk of developing cervical cancer from HPV. It is only girls who have compromised immune systems that may be vulnerable.

Medicine Net May 18, 2007



Dr. Mercola''s Comments Dr. Mercola's Comments:

This could be a new low for the pharmaceutical companies, recommending a vaccine for boys that’s designed for a body part they do not have. It is my belief that this is an obvious and reprehensible attempt to sell more of their ineffective and potentially dangerous Gardasil vaccine.

After all, if Merck pulls this off, they will have doubled Gardasil’s target market, with a corresponding doubling of their profits as well.

Let’s face it. The topic of cancer can be a highly emotionally charged event with potentially devastating consequences. Drug companies are EXPERTS in understanding how to manipulate these negative emotions to their advantage. They employ some of the most effective marketers on the planet and know full well how to maximize these fears to their advantage.

This is an important decision, and if you have not carefully studied it, and are responsible for making the decision for yourself or for your children, then I would implore you to spend serious time CAREFULLY analyzing both sides of the argument. A wrong decision could have absolutely devastating consequences for you and your children.

You can use the links on my Favorites Page to start your journey.  

Once you carefully study the evidence you will understand that the boys who receive the proposed Gardasil vaccine will begin to experience side effects, just as their female peers did.
 
Fear Drives Profits Up

Unfortunately, the effectiveness of the drug company’s marketing campaign is such that the majority of the public will believe this new campaign on how to “protect” their children using the Gardasil vaccine. Fortunately, you will know better.

This is the same old story as fear is typically the the driving force used to sell vaccines and other medications, as you can see by the links below.
Cancer is Not Caused by a “Vaccine Deficiency”

You may be wondering about the real cause of cancer, and for that matter any and all disease. Please realize that in no way, shape, or form is it related to a vaccine or drug deficiency. Nor is it caused by some random event that is waiting in the wings to strike you down.

I had previously believed that in the majority of cases, what “causes” cancer and illness is a breakdown in your system due to an unhealthy lifestyle and exposure to toxins in your environment. Now I am convinced that unresolved emotional trauma is the primary factor in most cancers, and the best approach to understanding this is German New Medicine.   

While unresolved emotional trauma is likely the primary cause of cancer, you can influence your exposure to this by modifying traditional risk factors.

How?

With these 12 lifestyle changes that will cut your cancer risk in half.

Getting back to the topic of Gardasil, I’d urge each and every one of you to do your homework before deciding whether or not to vaccinate your son or daughter. If you do the research and decide this or another vaccination is NOT for you, you do have the legal right to refuse it.

If you would like more details, my new book Take Control of Your Health has an entire chapter devoted to this topic, along with a thorough Appendix that tells you step-by-step how to legally avoid vaccinations.

That's absolutely crazy.  I didn't realize that cancer was 'contagious'.  Apparently, you can now catch cancer much like you can catch the flu?  Give me a break.

#1) Where's the proof?  You know the studies that show that it would actually work?

2#) Where's the proof that Gardasil prevents cervical cancer?  According to the FDA's own website, it said it was "HIGHLY BELIEVED" to work.  Not scientifically proven, not 100% absolute certainty.  But a belief.  

According to my understanding, that drug was fast tracked approved by the FDA BEFORE it was even tested thoroughly.  We don't know the risk on what happens when these girls have children, or when their children have children.

I am from Virginia.  And I think the Governor needs his head examined.  He recently decided to make it a mandatory law to use an essentially untested drug on ALL girls in Virginia in junior high. A drug that which supposedly helps prevent cervical cancer, but NOT SCIENTIFICIALLY PROVEN to do.  

My understanding is that cervical cancer kills less than 1/10th of 1% of the female population BUT girls are now receiving this vaccine to save their lives? 

So 99.9% of the female population, according to my understanding, will NEVER die of cervical cancer.  And the women who die from cervical cancer often die from something unrelated to HPV.

So I am trying to figure out if 99.9% of the female population won't die from this, why are they making it mandatory??  That's absolutely insane.

The mandatory law was in the local paper.  Girls are now receiving this vaccine.  I didn't see mention in the paper where they had the option of opting out if they didn't want it.  Tragic.

How bout this one?  Make it mandatory that these girls get enough folic acid...

I am also from Virginia. When I took my daughter earlier in the year for her yearly exam her doctor was pushing the Gardasil vaccine and she had just turned 11 years old. When I refused it he asked if it was for health or religious reasons and I replied "both".  I took her a few weeks ago for her sports physical and he pushed it again. I refused the Gardasil and the vaccine for menningitis (spelling?). He said to me "I have to tell you that I strongly recommend it." I thought wow, any other parent that has not researched or studied the vaccines would be scared to death and have the shots right then and there because he was so determined.  I may have to opt her out later but for now, she has entered middle school without it.

Almost every state has religious exemptions to vaccinations...and you can use this to opt out of having your children vaccinated.  The "religious" exemption included philisophical beliefs...under which natural health beliefs can be classed.  The pediatricians/doctors will try to intimidate parents into letting the kids get vaccinated and very few if any will tell the parent there is an exemption.  In SC where I live, the docs can't carry the forms in their office anymore, the parent must go to the Health Department for the forms so they can be further scorned, verbally abused and intimidated into having their kids vaccinated.  Also, you will be forced to sign a refusal form stating the physician advised you of the risks of non vaccination.  EXCUSE ME....where is the form stating you have been informed of the RISKS of vaccinations?

Excellent comments here on this post.

We desire to abide by the laws of freedom, good management and humanity. That's what seperates us from uncivilized and oppressive barbaric ignorance.

We do not have to abide by the laws of those who desire to excersise sovergnity over us to strip us of our moral right and our constitunional right of freedom of choice to insure safety for our children so they can continue to spread ignorance throughout humanity.

If they are so concerned about health, then let them use their own self as examples to all, so all can see the effects, and judge from those effect that will help us chose if we want to follow in their footsteps. This should be a moral obligation for them to prove to us that these so called good drugs are safe and effective.

ozy ness--that do got me riled, my blood is boiling and my hair is standing on end. What's going on here. Do they know about a doomsday or something comming soon and trying to get every dollar they can get their hands on until then. There has to be something because no one in their right mind would do such a thing. Maybe those people are on mind altering drugs theirselves and just plain don't know no better. Maybe they should have a phsyco exam or something to see if they are sane.

Wow, I just might have to break down now and take a nerve pill because no doubt I will think on this one all night. I can see the empty look and the cry for help in the kids eyes right now because of the neglect from the ones who could quickly put a stop to this nonsence from the power of their office. But since they won't, as usual, it is up to folks like us.

I grant you I will remember this and more come election day.

THANK YOU DR MERCOLA FOR THE PLACE HERE to HEAR THE VOICE OF WELLNESS...

What would possess a parent to think that pumping cups vaccines (made of foreign DNA namely, tenuated disease material, cultured upon more foreign DNA material) into their child's body bi-passing all natural bodily barriers to such invasion, would in any way empower and teach their precious child to become and remain well on earth within their wee body (mind, emotions) and huge soul?

If every drug and vaccine company closed doors tomorrow, what would that precious child know about self-care and how to be truly be and remain well for a lifetime in their precious human body on earth?

I believe soulful thought does travel -so after our gasps, I believe if wellness takes a big breath and states its preference to all the corners of the Universe -that exponentionally our silent voices of welless, will resonate back to the ears, eyes, minds and hearts of all who want to be truly free and well on earth.

Here are my wordless words -a silent but very loud voice that you will hear after I am finished this blurb -if you listen with care...

"If it is for our highest on all levels and planes, I prefer clean air, clean water, clean food, clearn bodies and "choice on earth" (especially for the children) I also prefer that all children are only injected with true wellness."

...I look forward to hearing your silent voices, your wordless words, -after all of our important empowering chat -because if what we are saying is true, those voices will resonate tenderly, calmly, strongly and louder -than any other.

Sorry not to give you a break "givemeabreak" but the evidence that CERTAIN viruses cause PARTICULAR cancers is incontrovertible (certain HPVs = cervical and anal cancers, Hepatitis B and C = liver cancers to name but two).

Other than that the rest of your post is fine. Individual women can prevent cervical cancer through abstinence, fidelity, condoms (to a certain extent) and taking part in screening programmes as well as working to fortify their immune systems in the ways Dr. Mercola indicates.

Whilst I don't agree with Dr. Mercola who sometimes seems to say that the ills caused by vaccines always outweigh the ills of the diseases they prevent (I think you need to meet Smallpox survivors as I have in order to be able to say that) the search for vaccines for viruses that are relatively benign in most people (such as HPV and Chicken-pox) seems merely a search for profit.

bagarino, I agree with you - though I never met someone who had something as terrible as smallpox. My mom in law had a very close friend die from polio - so she's got first hand knowledge of that. She herself had measles and pertussis, both of which she suffered no lasting effects. I agree that some vaccines are worth taking the risk, though most are not. I am wondering what's going to happen to our new generation of chicken pox vaccinated children when they reach adulthood. I pray that it's not a tragedy.

The other thing I am sick of is the fact that as soon as a child reaches a feverish temp, parents and doctors alike want to just pump them full of tylenol or motrin.....I have found for myself that to let the body work it's own magic is the best thing to do for your "normal" illnesses. We are truly wonderful creations and it's sad that science is trying to take over nature.

Cancer is not contagious but the HPV virus IS.  Just because some may refer to the vaccine as the "cervical cancer vaccine" it is an HPV vaccine for those few strains of HPV that are believed to be responsible for cervical cancer.  Even if we may not agree with the vaccine or how it is being "forced" on us we can all be more effective health advocates by removing the emotion and sticking with the facts.  

The vaccine is not for a particular body part but for a particular VIRUS that is sexually transmitted.  It affects both male and female.  I couldn't understand why those that advocated the vaccine didn't recommend it for both boys and girls.  Now, apparently, they do.

If one is against vaccines then one should stay focused on that regardless what the vaccine is for.  If vaccines are safe then this would be wonderful for both sexes.  How about advocating safe vaccines?

I wanted to comment on Debbie LH's post. You are the first comment I've read on this page that has any sort of rationality and focus.  While everyone else is emotionally ranting off misleading information, you are looking at the actual purpose and facts of this issue. It upsets me that your post has a negative rating.

HPV is a virus that causes warts. Most people have it or have had it in their life. Kids often have warts on their hands, feet, etc.  Most Immune systems do fight these off. Warts are transmitted by contact. There are 100s of strains of HPV many of which are regional. Around 30-50 of these strains affect the genital area.  Some strains are minor and do not show symptoms, some show severe symptoms, and some cause cancer. The vaccine in question protects people from 3 strains of genital HPV known to cause Cervical Cancer in women.  Both male and female can carry these strains.

HPV is contagious through skin contact (not just sexually transmitted fluids). This explains why HPV is so rampant. Even the use of Condoms may not prevent HPV transmission. With shared facilities in schools (esp. College) such as toilets, dorms, etc. there is a greater chance of "skin" or "skin to surface to skin" contact that could transmit HPV. While chances of "skin-to-surface-to-skin" contact is much lower than direct "skin-to-skin" contact, this is still an issue worth considering. Take in to account that studies, such as one in 1997 by the American Journal Of Medicine, showed that 74% of women have or have had genital HPV. This should clue a lot of you in that it's a rampant and easily spreadable virus. Luckily most immune systems can fight off HPV both genital and in other regions. Also luckily out of the 100+ strains, most don't show severe symptoms.  However, for those strains that do, the "symptom" may be cancer.

I am not writing this in support for or against the vaccine. I am writing this to make sure the readers here actually stay focused on the issue.

American must come to the realization that our Government officials are completely aware of whats happening and in fact are in collusion with Big Pharma. They buy our senators and congreesmen like cheap prostitutues and attempt to force vaccination upon our children. They do not care if your child comes down with a Autisim or another disableing disease, they don't care! Your children and thier health is there for thier PROFIT and they will sacrifice your child in a second to make a buck. The system is very seriously broken down and we must oust each and every member of government that take any money from Big Pharma. When Big Pharma companies are allowed to do things to hurt or destroy familes, especially children (the most innocent) you have a criminal governmernt in place, that must be REPLACED at ALL COSTS. When people get angry and take action, tell memebers of congress WE WILL FIND OUT who is taking money from BIG PHARMA and then your gone! The People of Virginia must  begin a petition to have a special election to remove thier profit seeking governor. You'll be alot better off for it. We did it here with Gray Davis in California a few years back, and now have Schwarzeneggar as Governor who has banned thimersol in California. Virginia is a much smaller State it should be even easier do.

My doctor sent this out to his people:

Gardasil has been heavily promoted by its manufacturer, Merck & Co., as a vaccine to be administered to girls from ages 9-26. This vaccine is aimed against 4 strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which are sexually transmitted, and can cause cervical cancer. However 15 strains of HPV have been implicated in causing cervical cancer, so the vaccine does not protect against all of the high-risk strains of the virus.

As of July 27, 2007 there were 2207 reports of adverse reactions to Gardasil submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). This was an increase of 2125 new reports in 5 1/2 months since February 6th, 2007. These formally reported cases represent the most serious side effects that girls have experienced. I expect that many less damaging side effects have not been reported.

There have been 3 deaths reported in girls shortly following vaccination.

31 reports were considered life threatening. This is 1.4% of the girls reported.

1385 girls went to the emergency room. That is 62.75% of the girls reported.

451 girls at the time of the report had not recovered. That is 20.43% of the girls reported.

51 girls were disabled when the report was filed. That is 2.31% of the girls reported and more information was requested.

You can access the VAERS database at: http://www.medalerts.org/ to obtain further information about vaccine damage reports.

Because of the many unresolved issues regarding the safety and efficacy of this vaccine, I am currently recommending that my patients avoid Gardasil. I feel that it will take at least 5 years until we have enough data to objectively judge the value of this vaccine. Don’t let Merck use your daughters as guinea pigs for testing their new vaccine.

CARE2... I found the most amazing easy-to-make your own CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER CLEAN BODY ETC petition website. A petition was sent me last week to help save our farmgate organic farmers in BC Canada from oppressive new legislation that would close them down...by Sep. 30th. ...The goal was 2000 signatures to send to our government by Sept 30th. Its now over 2000 and growing... The site is...THEPETITIONSITE.COM

If ANYONE wants to be heard ...FROM THEIR OWN HOME ...AND TOWN OR STATE and WANT TO MAKE A PETITION, and EMAIL IT TO OTHERS, who will email it to their friends... who will email it to their friends and so on and so on and so on and then BACK TO YOU TO SEND TO educate YOUR GOVERNMENTreps....WOW THIS is WORKING FOR our family and friends and families as a fast and A GREAT WAY TO SHARE FACTS AND IDEAS AND PREFERNCES to serve and protect INDIVIDUAL CHOICE FOR OUR FAMILY'S Empowered Wellness oriented Futures:)

Here in our community children (young girls) are being vaccinated left right and centre. If they don't comply, instilled guilt is at the top of the priority list form the Health officer here in our region. The media runs with it and fear of the unknown takes over.

I am dismayed to say the least with the bill of goods sold to the public at large under the umbrella of protection. Where is this going to end? What do we do to top what is going on presently? I am fearful to even speculate as to what the future holds for us.

We need to speak up and be heard.

As for "cancer being contagious" there is some evidence to support that some cancers may be viral or parasitic in nature....both these cause DNA to change...so in theory some cancers could be "contagious"....however if you keep your body in balance, eat right, etc your immune system should take care of it on it's own.....Check out the book "The Cure For All Cancers" for more info on this.

It really is horrifying, isn't it?
I went through doing all my research when my son was born, and decided not to vaccinate, against the wishes of my in-laws.
I forgot about myself, and was hit with a rubella needle due to "low-immunity" - what a bad idea that was ...(months of joint pain etc...)
What chance does the average person have?? How many more jabs of god-knows what do they want us to give our unsuspecting children?
Personal research and education, and the support of amazing people on this blog really does help!
Keep up the good work and great comments everyone - it helps to keep us all strong.

This is VA. Seven years ago I discovered a quick & easy way to get the doctors to agree with your way (YES, the informed PARENT’S way, what a novel idea  huh?) of thinking when it comes to vaccinations. You see my son’s doctor tried to bully me into allowing him to vac my son. When I stood my ground he blocked the exam room door to yell, scream & berate me into allowing him to stick my then infant son. I knew this was coming and came prepared with a 3 inch thick binder of research & studies. He would hear none of it. It was horrifying, at one point I even feared for my safety….well kinda, I think I could have taken him. *L*  I finally stated  that I would be pleased to allow him vaccinate my son but before I could allow him to do so he would have to sign an agreement written up by my attorney stating that he would take full financial responsibility if there was ANY adverse effects. I ended that by stating “It’s really rather simple isn’t it?” (Note that my only other child had serious & life changing effects from vaccinates 16 years prior).  He was pissed! His face got red & he slammed out the door, the walls shook!! I figured we would be getting a letter stating they would be refusing future services but imagine my surprise when six weeks later I find a letter in my mailbox stating that Dr. C is no longer with the practice. Oh, I’m not saying that I had anything to do with it but knowing how annoying  it is to change jobs, even for doctors, gave me just a little bit of glee. Funny how no other doctors in the practice have this problem. They state we recommend but that’s all. So far it’s only been recommended for Polio & Tetnus. I also was prepared for but surprisingly didn’t have any problem with the elementary school. Just my 02 here.

What is really sad is people who only watch the idiot box for their information will believe this story.  The main triggering factor in throat cancer is tobacco and its additives.  Big Pharma is attempting to Kill of the population.

Up front:  I am opposed to 99.9% of vaccinations.

But the theory behind Guardasil is that it protects against a few strains of HPV which cause cervical cancer.  It is unproven.  Already so many have had bad responses to this vaccine that it is questionable right now whether the risk outweighs the benefit (can we all say NO!)  But, theoretically, there MIGHT be some benefit for the girls.

However, it is only the slightest of hypothesis that HPV transmitted thru oral sex could create throat cancer.  This is a stretch farther than from here to Jupiter!  Guardasil must not be selling quick enough for the girls, so they have to rake in those profits by selling this ridiculous, bizarre, preposterous, wacky, ludicrous sceme for boys.

Kateeroux, it is tempting to take the 'easy' way out and vaccinate against a disease that is easily preventable thru education and self-control.

We need to teach our children (and many of us adults) the morals and values of abstinence and monomogy.
 
This is a sexually transmitted disease and to make a vaccination that is mandatory for 11 year old girls is outrageous.
 
I  told my 11 year old daughter that she would not be getting Gardasil now, that it stems from sexually activity, and when she was old enough, she could make her own choice.
 
I can not force her to stay pure until she is married but I can encourage her to do so. I cannot guarantee her husband will be pure but I can raise her with the hope she will choose a partner the same. When she is old enough and mature enough she can make her own choice about the vaccine. By then we will most likely find out how dangerous or unnecessary it really is.

Appreciate the comments Vicki Marie, & that you are choosing to raise your daughter morally, ethically, & to take responsibility.  Too many now days see the disease as the problem, and not the fact that they contracted it thru irresponsible behavior.  Dare i even say from choosing behaviors God told us not to do?

My comment was merely on the logical thought processes & not on the morality involved.
