How the U.S. Government is Covering Up HPV Vaccine Side Effects




by Barbara Loe Fisher

On October 21, 2008 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in association with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) issued a report on Gardasil vaccine safety that amounts to a cover-up of serious reactions, including paralysis and deaths, that have been reported to the government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS).

On October 24, 2008, the National Vaccine Information Center issued a press release that calls on the CDC and FDA to release to the public the study design, data and names of principal investigators involved in the report maintaining that Gardasil vaccine is safe with no serious side effects. NVIC will also be calling on the newly elected President and members of Congress to remove the nation's vaccine safety monitoring system from DHHS and place it in a separate entity reporting directly to Congress.

Sadly, U.S. government officials have learned nothing in the past 26 years from parents asking for investigation of vaccination side effects and identification of individuals at higher risk for having vaccine reactions so their lives can be spared.

Now, a callous disregard for human life, which has been tragically demonstrated for decades, is once again illustrated in this latest refusal to properly evaluate the risks of the newly licensed Gardasil vaccine. Why should anyone have confidence in government and drug company officials who do not bother to scientifically investigate the biological mechanisms contributing to serious reactions, injuries and deaths and why some individuals may be more vulnerable than others for suffering Gardasil reactions?

Conflicts of interest are rampant in a mass vaccination infrastructure that has the same people, who are regulating and promoting vaccines, also evaluating vaccine safety. This kind of conflict of interest cannot be tolerated. The people -- and only the people being told and often forced to buy and use vaccines -- can reform the system by getting involved in the democratic process and appealing to their elected officials and demanding change. Because 26 years is long enough to wait for those in government responsible for ensuring vaccine safety to do the right thing.

At the end of the day, the only way we can have the ability to place economic and political pressure on the public health system to change is to have the right to make informed, voluntary decisions about which vaccines we and our children use.

The right to informed consent to vaccination or any medical intervention which carries a risk of injury or death is a human right. Anything less, as we can see from the latest whitewash of Gardasil vaccine risks by government health officials we are supposed to trust, is a threat to both individual and public health.

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

Over 10,000 adverse reactions, including 27 deaths, have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System in relation to Gardasil. Yet, the CDC and FDA are alleging that the vast majority, or even ALL, of these cases are not related to the vaccine. Therefore, they say, Gardasil is safe.

What prompted the CDC and FDA to imply that all 10,000+ reactions to Gardasil are a mere coincidence? They reviewed data from several managed-care organizations and found “no increased risk of a pre-specified set of possible side effects.”

This leaves a lot of questions unanswered, such as how did they choose which medical records to evaluate? What were they looking for? Who did the looking? And how did they interpret what they saw?

Yet, this information is not being made public so that independent researchers can confirm or refute the findings. This is why the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), which was co-founded by Barbara Loe Fisher, one of the top vaccine experts in the world, is calling for the CDC and FDA to publicly release the study design, data, and names of principal investigators involved.

“Transparency in government is essential to trust in government and replication is the hallmark of good science,” said NVIC president Barbara Loe Fisher.

 “Parents of young girls and women cut down in their prime -- some of them paralyzed or dead within hours or days of getting Gardasil vaccine -- deserve better answers than a whitewashing of this vaccine’s very serious side effects.

Until there is an independent confirmation of these unverified findings by individuals and companies without financial ties to the government or industry, it is not credible.”

NVIC is not the only group calling for an urgent investigation into the dangerous side effects of Gardasil.

Independent health researcher Grace Filby, who won a Churchill Fellowship for her research into phage therapy, is calling on the government for more research because she believes not enough is known about the effects of the vaccine on children with pre-existing medical conditions and weakened immune systems.

She says:

"We simply do not know whether the vaccine interacts with other medication or medical conditions, and the manufacturers have not studied it yet. This could be a very valid reason why some families and schools might hesitate or opt out."

The Deception Surrounding This Vaccine is Sickening

The Gardasil vaccine is one of the most blatant deceptions going on in modern medicine. Well-meaning mothers are being deceived into thinking this shot will protect their daughters from cervical cancer, and some of them are now wondering HOW and WHY their young child died or became suddenly paralyzed.

And here’s the real kicker: Your body can clear up a human papilloma virus (HPV) infection on its own, and it does so more than 90 percent of the time.

HPV simply is NOT the scary monster that Merck’s vaccine ads are making it out to be.
 
At least 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives, according to the National Prevention Information Network (NPIN). Most often, the infection causes no symptoms at all, and is easily cleared up by your immune system. In some cases the infection can result in genital warts, and much less often, cervical and other genital cancers.

So women who receive the Gardasil vaccine are risking serious side effects to protect against a virus that typically causes no symptoms and no harm. This is true even of the “high-risk” HPV infections.

Even the National Cancer Institute says:

"It is important to note, however, that the great majority of high-risk HPV infections go away on their own and do not cause cancer."

This is why although more than 6 million women contract HPV annually, cervical cancer claims less than 3,900 women -- most of which are due to not getting regular Pap smears. In the U.K., cervical cancer claims only 400 lives per year.

So before you even think about getting this potentially dangerous vaccination for yourself or your daughter, make sure you know what you’re risking your health for.

Help to Support Vaccine Freedom and Choice

Gardasil is only one of many potentially dangerous and ineffective vaccines being pushed, and in some cases, mandated, on our children. In the past 25 years, the number of doses of vaccines that pediatricians give U.S. babies and children under age 6 has tripled. What does this mean? Children may receive:

  • 48 doses of 14 vaccines by age 6, with the first dose given at just 12 hours old, before the baby leaves the hospital
  • Eight vaccines on a single day once they’re 6 months old
  • Up to 12 vaccines on a single day once they’re 15 months
  • With the addition of 3 doses of HPV vaccine to the CDC's vaccine recommendations, pediatricians now give girls 69 doses of 16 vaccines from birth to age 18 (66 doses of 15 vaccines for boys)

It is up to each parent to decide for their child whether this manipulation of the immune system with increasing numbers of vaccines is a good thing or not. This is not a matter of being for vaccines or against them, it is a matter of defending your right to make educated, voluntary health care choices.

Yet, currently NVIC is being flooded with vaccine reaction reports and parents are reporting that they’re unable to get vaccine exemptions, or those they had are being pulled. We are reaching a critical mass. NVIC’s Web site will help a lot with awareness, but as more people become aware there will be the need for a bigger response, and that takes money.

NVIC is dedicated to the prevention of vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and to defending the informed consent ethic. If you would like to help them further their mission, you can donate now.

As far as what NVIC will immediately use the funds for:
 

1. To launch a national education campaign about vaccine risks and wellness alternatives to vaccination

2. To continue to work for vaccine freedom to protect and expand state vaccine exemption laws

3. To expand counseling services for parents reporting vaccine reactions, injuries and deaths

4. To hold the International Public Conference on Vaccination Oct. 2-4, 2009 in Washington, D.C.

5. To educate Congress about the need to remove the vaccine safety monitoring system from federal health agencies responsible for developing, regulating, making policy for and promoting mass use of vaccines, and create a new vaccine safety monitoring entity with public participation and directly reportable to Congress

NVIC does not promote the use of vaccines, nor do they advise against them. Rather, they support your right to make an informed vaccine choice for yourself and your family.

The WHO and UN have had a Nazi-inspired eugenic depopulation policy in place since 1963. (View Dr. Rima Laibow on you-tube.) The promotion of sterilization, contraception and abortion was Part 1 of this policy. Part 2 consisted of the denaturation and devitalisation of all our food supplies so that chronic degenerative disease would ensue. Part 3 was the use of invasive systemic disabling medications as an effective form of medical terrorism resulting in a global pandemic of fatal diseases. Vaccinations are all part of this mass eradication program.

Gardasil is not intended to work!! We acquire more than 100 varieties of papilloma viruses when born. All of them are commensals (harmless passengers) When we eliminate any one of them, another will take it's place and tend to mutate and become aggressive. The only way to counteract a potentially pathogenic organism is to ensure adequate nutrition which in this day and age is impossible on our devitalised diet which must therefore be supported with comprehensive supplements or super foods.

Codex Alimentarius is the chosen legislation through which the WTO intends to achieve total control over what we eat, drink and be medicated with. It is estimated that Codex, if adopted, will kill a minimum of 2 Billion people worldwide merely through nutritional deprivation alone.

Manus, I note that we share common views. Your comment may not be readily accepted but they do highlight a residual vista of WW2.

Surely the time has come for the people to know about the corrupt multi national

drug companies. This problem should be on the main news channels and newspapers.

The people have to waken up and stop being fooled.

A side note- there's an email list of OBGYNs that often discusses c-sections,saying they actually PUSH c-sections because its an excellent form of population control.  In 1979 the cesarean rate was only 5 % and rose to 15% in 8 years!  Ten years ago the c-section rate was 21% and now it is over 33%!  I find it hard to believe that over 28% more women cannot deliver naturally then could in 1970. Their reasoning that c-sections make excellent population control:

1) it is easier to convince a woman to be sterilized if you already have to cut her open, especially if she finds c-sections painful and horrible (I've had 4 of them and they most certainly are that.)  

2) after only one section it is very difficult to find a doctor or midwife willing to deliver naturally, and almost impossible to find one after multiple sections, so this forces women to continue having c-sections, be sterilized, or use birth control.

3) after multiple c-sections, the rate of infertility, ectopic pregnancies, uterine rupture while NOT in labor, and hysterectomies (and of course maternal and fetal death) increase tremendously, much more so then with VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean) or with natural deliveries.

Some scoff at the 'conspiracy theory' that the medical community is trying to force population control, but with these OBGYNs openly saying this is what they are trying to do by performing so many c-sections, it is pretty obvious we are right!  I know that my c-sections were unnecessary (after getting my medical records!) and many others I have talked to say that they didn't even KNOW why they had surgery- the dr just said "We have to get the baby out now!" and wheeled them in the OR- no explanation given!  We have to get the baby out...I have a dinner date?  or maybe a flight to catch?  What about lunch?!  even more often, concern of being sued is a reason to do first or repeat c-sections.  "The only c-section I was sued for was the one I didn't do!"

Great post Manus.  I knew in Canada that Bill C-51 was coming directly from the Codex which was confirmed in the House of Commons by MP Gary Goodyear when he stood up to make an ammendment to the bill, to make natural products into a third category, not subject to the Codex.  The media didn't pick up on that at all.  I wonder why that was?  But I saw it live on CPAC and could not believe my ears, lol.

Another thing, when the FDA or Health Canada is approving a new drug, they do not do ANY independent testing.  They rely on information from the manufacturer and based on that (and that alone) they decide to approve it.  Merck should be shot and pissed on for the lack of information given to the FDA and Health Canada concerning Gardasil and all their other "wonderful" vaccines including the shingles and chickenpox.

On the c-section issue, there is a great group called ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network).  I am part of the Chicago group.  By networking with this group, one is able to locate care providers who will perform VBACs, even if the woman has had more than one c/s.  It is a Yahoo group.

Also, for any type of traumatic birth experience, there is a website www.solaceformothers.org.

This article points out why it is so very important that every state must have a philosophical/conscientious belief exemption with regards to mandatory vaccines.

"The right to informed consent to vaccination or any medical intervention which carries a risk of injury or death is a human right."

Don't let any more of your rights be taken away.  This is something we can change.  It will be an uphill battle, as the CDC and every State Health Department will fight to keep the mandates and issue more mandates on top of the already faulty ones on the books.  Be proactive and voice your opinions- loud and clear and often. Be a conscientious objector.  They can't afford to throw all of us in jail or remove all of our children from our homes without a domino effect taking place and bring about a resulting collapse of the local and state economy, among other things.

This is something I intend to contact my State Legislator about after the elections.  I have to wait until then, as my former Legislator "termed out".  Nebraskans used their " power to vote" to remove our "power to vote" and my district has to vote for a new one.

I am anti-vaccine and have not had my 27 month old son vaccinated.  I am writing b/c my son has been unofficially diagnosed with sensory processing disorder (formerly sensory integration disorder; not an official disorder b/c of lack of research).  What I thought were just eccentricities in his personality are actually sensory-vestibular problems that are getting in the way of his "normal" development.  I believe this disorder is on the "autism spectrum" but is much less severe.

At 2 years old, my son was still only eating stage 2 and 3 consistency baby foods and only milk from a bottle.  (I did breast feed as long as possible.)  He has sensory defensiveness in his mouth, so he has a hard time with different textures of fresh foods.  All of this has effected his nutritional and fluid intake.  He just said his first word.  He has extreme difficulty attending to toys/activities for more than 30-60 seconds.  Basically, it is very hard to engage him in joint activities.  (I am an occupation therapist by education, so I asked for a script for a speech eval from my son's MD at HomeFirst at his 2 y/o check up.)

I am so surprised to find that vaccines are not the only cause of neurological issues in children.  Many other things were not ideal about my pregnancy and birth experience though.  (Took meds during PG, had horrible care provider who had me induced and ended up w/ a non-emergency c-section.  My son's head and neck were shoved up against my pelvic bones for 16 hours b/c of pitocin, prior to the c-section...he had no chance to reposition himself.)

My son is currently receiving OT, speech, developmental therapy, and nutrition services.  I also am having him see a chiropractor who specializes in infant/toddler neurological disorders.  (I have thought of bringing him to Dr. M. too if the chiro doesn't work out.  Chiro's name is Sean Manning in Oak Park, IL.)  At this time, I am still against vaccines.  I wonder what my son would be like if he had had them :(.

Less than 3 yrs. old? I'm not saying that there are no problems, but kids develop at very different rates and in different ways. You haven't described anything that is completely wack out of normal. Sounds like you are a good, conscientious parent. So relax just a bit. Take a deep breath, keep doing what you are doing and I think that as time goes on, your child will be just fine.

ablg67, it sounds like your son might benefit from a Pettibon trained therapist who can relieve the pressure in the head/neck area and help the nerve and blood flow.  Check out www.pettibonsystem.com.  

I have been under this therapy for six years and it has made an incredible difference in my quality of life.  I'd had a fall down 26 steps and landed on my head.  I had all kinds of weird symptoms that now I know are a result of head trauma.  It has been wonderful seeing my Dr work with infants and children, scoliosis patients and accident victims.  I was homebound for many years before receiving this treatment 14 years after my fall.  I truly believe if I'd been treated immediately by a Pettibon Dr I would never have become disabled.  Yes, I had been to a gazillion Drs and tried multiple therapies before finding this Dr.

This therapy may not cure the problem 100% but it will certainly facilitate recovery.

My oldest daughter and I had sensory issues PRIOR to vaccines as well.  We are autistic and were obviously so from birth.  I did vaccinate her, with a bit altered schedule.  they didn't SEEM to make her worse, although her behavior go to the point that I needed to put her on a GF diet.  My next two were on the typical schedule and had the classical autism regression at age 1.  My fourth child was terribly ill after each round of vaccines (for 6-8 weeks!) so after her 6 month vaccines I became terrified that she would be permanently damaged by the vaccines so I stopped them.  Like you, I wonder if she had the rest of her vaccines if she might be much worse then she is (she has some sensory issues and seems to have an asperger personality, she may not be talking ect if I had continued to vaccinate her.)  

Good for you for not vaccinating.  What's scary is that they may try to force us to vaccinate our children.  with such a high rate of autism (likely 100% of my children) I will not be vaccinating my fifth child (due in February.)

Ablg67:

I am old enough to remember when there were no vaccines for Chicken pox, mumps, measels, and the like.  They were looked upon as something that happened to us and was also something that strenghtened our immune system.  So what are we trying to do with all these vaccines?  Without these minor diseases our immune systems are not what they should be, and then they speak of boosters, and that is frightning.  Shingles are running rampant and who knows what other diseases have become "Mutant" due to all these useless vaccines.

You may want to look into Craniosacral Massage for your infant. Often times the skull and neck get jammed during birth and there could be a structural alignment that is causing harm. Also, having a c-section can cause something similar to the bends on a baby due to the pressre difference all of a sudden and the temperature difference. The child's body (and mind) may tighten up similar to an adult walking outside on a cold day. Anyhow, hope this helps.

Thank you all for your comments.  Dr. Rik, I disagree with you.  I did not give you enough information about my son for you to make your comment.  Also, do you know what sensory processing disorder is?

Part of my son's disorder is that he has oral defensiveness.  A dietitian did a 3 day analysis of his fluid/calorie intake.  He was eating/drinking 60% of what he should be at his age.  Baby food does not have the same nutritional value as fresh foods.  Only eating pureed foods when you have a full set of teeth, including molars, is not normal.  Not responding when your name is called is not normal at 2 years old.  My son's biggest struggle is simply attending to anything (toy, person's voice, directions, looking at a book) for more than 30-60 seconds, if at all.  He cannot attend b/c he is constantly trying to regulate his sensory-vestibular system.  Since he was 10-11 months old, he has pushed his head into the floor to try to relieve the pressure that is in his head.  He needs a lot of deep pressure all over his body in order to feel calm.  (A 2 y/o child is supposed to be able to attend to a toy for 10 min. independently.)

leppert, I will look up the therapy that you mentioned.  I will also look into cranio-sacral massage.  Much of what the chiropractor is doing involves relieving the pressure of cerebro-spinal fluid that is in my son's skull.

Also, on the vaccination issue,  I am part of a 4 person mom's group at my church. One woman took herself out of the group b/c her son is the only one who IS vaccinated.  An interesting trend.

I just want to add that, if the government starts forcing us to vaccinate our children, I am going to have to move to a shack in Idaho and home school.  (I can use religious exemption since I am in Illinois.)

I can find absolutely not one reason why I or anyone should trust them.

Of course it's a cover up. It's a cover up because young, healthy individuals do not suddenly die or fall ill to some bizarre cause. And everything's that's happened surrounding this Gardasil is beyond doubt they don't value anyone's life or anyone's well being.
