Thousands Have Gotten Sick from Gardasil HPV Vaccine

Gardasil, cervical cancer vaccine, vaccinationGardasil, 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 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. The ideal healthy habits to keep your body and mind strong are detailed in these 12 changes that will cut your cancer risk in half.

It just amazes me how many moms are so for this HPV vaccine.  I and another once commented on how bad it is and this mother went off on us and defended it like you wouldn't believe!  Couldn't wait to get her 12 year old in the next day to get it.   I'm in a "Moms Group" and I'll tell you, it surely appears to me  that the vaccinated are by far less healthy and by far sick far more often than the unvaccinated.  I have 3 kids.  We don't eat perfectly, but we by far don't eat as bad as most of these kids eat and my kids are very smart and rarely sick.  All I see in this group are kids with runny noses, chronic coughs, ADHD, and chronic ear infections at the age of 2 years old etc....  My kids have never had an ear infection, maybe once, but cleared up WITHOUT anitbiotics!  And this was years ago.  If I ever doubt my choice in not vaccinating them, all I have to do is see all of these sickly "vaccinated" children and I KNOW I made the right choice!

I and many others have healthy children who have been vaccinated.  Measles, Mumps, Reubella, Polio - come on, you don't want this in your house.  And vaccines work by getting the population immune.  The key is more to the strong family, eating well enough, exercise, sun, fun...

However - the jury is still out on Gardisil.  If these stats are true it may be killing as many as cervical cancer - die now or die later.  I think I'll die later.

No Dr. G, I don't want any disease in my house.  But I definitely do not want to trade in the measles or mumps for cancer etc.. I am not too afraid of the measles nor the mumps.  I am confident my chldren would survive that and would then have lifetime immunity.  Have you ever seen Sherri Tempenney's video/DVD?  She recites a wonderful quote from 1937 "Can you inject a foreign object of any kind into a little baby and believe that in any way it will improve it's health?"  I DO NOT.  I do not allow my children to eat the crap that is in the shots!  How can I roll up their sleeves and allow someone to inject it into their blood?  I in good conscience can not.  The "key" as you state is absolutely eating well, exercising, sun, fun and happiness.  But that does NOT include injecting oneself with poisons.  Vaccinations have NEVER been proven safe and now the pharm companies are immune to ever getting a law suit against them when their shots kill and/or disable our kids!  You say your kids are healthy now, how do you know they won't end up with something down the road from these shots you made sure they received?  The key is to build up a strong immune system without poisons.  Then you may not even get sick to begin with or at the very least you will be able to overcome the disease.  I would much rather have a healthy immune system and recover from things naturally than be dependant on vaccinations the rest of my life.  Not to mention the law here last I checked stated that if you ever refuse a vaccination for your kids and later decide to vaccinate them with one, you lose all your rights to EVER refuse a vaccination for them again!  And what about all the vaccinations that have been contaminated with things such as the SV40 virus.  They find this virus in cancerous tumors!  I believe you're playing Russian Roulette when you roll up your sleeves for a shot.  They cannot be trusted! The pediatrician called her just the other day making sure my son wasn't on a recalled drug

It's amazing how people cling to false beliefs (especially regarding vaccines). Many of my co-workers got the flu shot and still got a very nasty virus that took out more than half the office. I tried telling them that vaccines are not the answer for good health, but they just thought I was nuts. Even though I have a 21-month old daughter and was exposed multiple times to the virus that sickened many of my co-workers, I have not even caught a cold this year thanks to following the advice of Dr. Mercola and you guys. So far, my daughter Jackie has not even gotten a cold either as both of us are taking cod liver oil to compensate for lack of sunlight. :-)

Even if I believed in some vaccines, Gardasil would certainly not be on my list. I may be a little rusty in biology, but I don't remember boys having the required body part to get cervical cancer so I'm still completely stunned that Merck would market Gardasil to boys. I think they should change their slogan to "Merck, where profits come first".  Thank you Dr. Mercola and the rest  you for sharing your wisdom with me. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

It's precisely the boys part that transmits the virus that's been found in 95 plus percent of cervical cancers.  Also, noted is that oral cancers like squamous cell carcinoma are on the rise in non-smoking or drinking people.  Evidence is implicating the HPV.  It's a mutagenic virus, there are others to (esp. in the dog).  I have no interest in big pharma - but did grad work in biochem, and undergrad chem, finding my place as a Periodontist.  The controversy is good, but keep it real.  Virus transmission happens, and probably mostly by the male member and oral routes.

"Mercola, where even the ignorant are experts"

ever heard of being a CARRIER of a disease? try reading about something before you make a comment damning it, otherwise it just makes you look stupid.

BeyondOrganic, when I was little I first got the Measles. Then I got the Mumps and lost partial hearing in one ear as a result. Then I got Whooping Cough which was so bad that I coughed blood. I don't wish this on ANYONE! Then my parents got me vaccinated for Polio. Thank GOD!

Gardasil, no thanks for my daughters. One of them has Autism and I think its a mistake when they vaccinate with 3 viruses at once. They should only do one at a time. I believe that the 3-in 1 is dangerous and responsible for the Autism, not the Mercury. However, everything is based on CORPORATE and financial gain these days and Drug Companies are not working for our benefit as they would like us to believe. In Canada they are trying to pass Bill C-51 which would take a lot of Herbal Supplements of the shelves so that Drug Companies can benefit more....

The FDA allowed Merck to use a potentially reactive aluminum containing placebo as a control for most trial participants, rather than a non-reactive saline solution placebo. Why would Merck do that? A reactive placebo can artificially increase the appearance of safety of an experimental drug or vaccine in a clinical trial. Gardasil contains 225 mcg of aluminum and, although aluminum adjuvants have been used in vaccines for decades, they were never tested for safety in clinical trials. Merck and the FDA did not disclose how much aluminum was in the placebo.

I guess the only thing to be glad about is that Merck's efforts to make this a required vaccine failed.  However, it was still strongly suggested to many unsuspecting mothers of young girls.

Hi,

Do you have any references for that claim?  I have seen it repeated a lot on the internet, but I can't find a study or news report about it.

Thanks,

It's not about obeying the Law, that doesn't apply to us under Grace!  What it IS about is disregarding God's teaching on abstinence.  This is totally 100% preventable.  People just want to fulfill the lusts of their flush and not pay the consequences.  There ARE ALWAYS consequences!!

How is 17 adverse reactions a week, plus links to at least seven deaths, acceptable, as one of the 'doctors' claims in this story?!

I heard the Australian professor who invented this harmful vaccine on radio the other day try to explain away all the adverse reactions that are occuring here in Australia. He dismissed the adverse reactions by saying that the vaccine produced similar level of reactions to the placebo during the clinical trials. Only problem is that placebo contained the same toxic aluminum adjuvant as the vaccine rather than a saline solution. Also, the clinical trials showed that the toxic ingredients in Gardasil caused an increase in abnormal / pre-cancerous cells in the cervix. It doesn't take rocket science to intelligently translate that into an increased risk for cervical cancer.   Contradictory to Merck's add campaign of "one less", girls taking the vaccines are actually at an increased risk of being one more in the cervical cancer statistics.
