I recently came across a blog by someone I admire and so I read it and was
surprised by the information. Everyone has seen the multitude of
commercials about
Gardasil which states that getting your teenage daughters
vaccinated with
Gardasil will prevent Cervical Cancer, it's a Cancer
vaccine.......Not really! It's actually a
vaccine for some of the many forms of
HPV ( Human
Papilloma Virus ) and since it was not properly tested before it's release the side effects are just now becoming known.
From Erin
Brockovich's blog: 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.

Couric of CBS also did a story regarding the side effects of
Gardasil after learning of devastating side effects on the young women who received the
vaccinations and what she reported was shocking and news to me. Please read this important excerpt from Katie's report:
Merck, which makes the vaccine, the CDC and the FDA all say it is safe, effective, and important. Speaking of more than 8,000 adverse event reports and more than a dozen deaths, the CDC told CBS News, "we have found no connection between these deaths" and
Gardasil. "We still recommend the vaccine and feel it is an important vaccine for the health of women. There are about 20 million people currently infected with
HPV. Women have an 80 percent chance of developing
HPV by the time they are 50.
HPV is most common in people in their late teens and early 20s. Because the vaccine is a preventative and not a cure, it is important that the vaccine be given prior to beginning sexual activity. About 11,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and 3,600 will die. This vaccine prevents four viruses that account for about 70 percent of cervical cancers." You can read the rest of her report at the following link:
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/07/08/couricandco/entry4240888.shtmlThe CDC report
say es they still consider
Gardasil safe because the safety of the
HPV vaccine was studied in 7 clinical trials before it was licensed. There were over 21,000 girls and women ages 9 through 26 in these clinical trials.
And since this wasn't started until sometime after 1993 I don't see how they could have ran any conclusive trials as to long term damage or side effects and 21,000 isn't a very large study so basically they are using our daughters as guinea pigs. The fact is Cervical Cancer is easily detected by a simple Pap smear in a doctor's office and when this is done on a regular basis it has NO bad side effects and also prevents Cervical Cancer. But of course that doesn't generate a large profit for the
pHARMaceutical industry, I mean think about it,
Gardasil trials were on only 21,000 young women and since 2006 they have sold over 16 million doses of this
vaccine, think about the money involved. The FDA lost it's credibility long ago so in my opinion you have to take anything you hear from them with a grain of salt and do the research yourself.
MERCK, the maker of the
vaccine has done a mega media blitz targeted at young women and one thing I found a little strange is while supposedly this
vaccine is also just as effective on young men, they have not yet been a target of the marketing and advertising. I don't suppose it could be because it's a much smaller and harder to attract market? Or they just don't care if our sons die of the cancer's caused by the
HPV virus? MERCK is now pushing to have states to make it a REQUIRED
vaccine which would require parents to sign a document freeing the
pHARMaceutal company of any liability for side effects caused by the
vaccine.
VAERS (
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) first I ever heard of it and probably many other's haven't as well, already has close to 8,000 reports and the CDC (Center For Disease Control )has over 9,000. Neither of these two reporting systems are well known or
publicised so you must wonder if they were how many reports would be filed.
My greatest fear is that this
vaccine has only been released since 2006 and with minimal studies on the possible side effects both short term and none on long term effects because the
vaccine has not been in use long enough to make any determinations what kind of problems and issues will we run into down the line, what price will our young women end up paying for being the guinea pigs for
MARCK's trials. With the reports that are already coming in the possibilities are frightening if you read some of
tha many reports I have read already and I've only touched the tip of the iceberg.
If some of you have noticed that when I use the word
pHARMaceutical the
capitalized letters spell out the "HARM" and the reason is my father in law, Ron
Presson fought most of his adult life against corruption and
misinformation on the part of the
pHARMaceutical Industry including the AMA and the FDA. He believed in using natural and homeopathic cures for illness when ever possible rather than medical field's traditional practice of suppressing symptom's. The day before he died he finished the final edit of his book, "Your Money or Your Life" exposing the medical and
pHARMaceutical Industries and offering alternatives to the medical greed wars he called them. He was a brilliant, loving man dedicated to saving the world and willing to do it one person at a time if
that's the best it could be. His book was only published in a small amount and handed out at his memorial service. This is pop........

The reason for blogging this
topic is I don't believe there is a lot of awareness regarding the side effects of this
vaccine and the company producing and selling it in mass
quantities are going to do their best to insure everyone stays uninformed but I know many people with young daughter's who are considering using this
vaccine, in my opinion it's better to teach your daughter the value of an annual PAP smear once they become sexually active this method is just as effective and it has NO HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS!
At one time you could trust your family doctor to look out for your family's health and best interest but sadly that's no longer a possibility they are now driven by financial gains and pretty much owned by the
pHARMaceutical Industry and I will blog more on that later. You must be informed and
knowledgeable and work with your health care people to look out for yourselves. Think about it, there is no profits in healthy people, there is no profit in curing people, only in diagnosing "diseases" and treating the symptoms are the big bucks to be made in the medical field. These days doctors are paid well by the
pHARMaceutical Industry to "promote" their "miracle drugs" but
that's enough on that subject for now just be informed, be knowledgeable it's the best way to stay safe and healthy.
Please inform others who might not know of this and if you've already had problems that could be related to this issue if you go to the links I put in they will tell you what you need to do as far as reporting it and you can find help with the legal aspects by using the link to Erin
Brockovich's site. I prefer writing fun blogs but thought that since several deaths of young women have been reported in connection with this
vaccine as well as all of the very serious side effects that this information needs to be dispersed quickly to the masses in hopes it might save some grief........
