WASHINGTON, September 28, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An online database, freely available to the public, allows one to search for reported adverse effects from vaccines.  The database covering data for the United States includes the controversial Merck HPV vaccine Gardasil, identified as "HPV4" in the database.

The US Government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database indicates that there have been 7 deaths associated with administration of Gardasil.  Age is listed for four of the girls who died at: 11, 12, 15 and 19.

VAERS lists 3,137 reported adverse effects stemming from Gardasil.  The database is voluntary and thus is unlikely to include all adverse effects from the vaccine.

The database, placed online by the National Vaccine Information Center, also indicates 44 adverse effects associated with the vaccine's administration were considered "life threatening."  In 94 cases, vaccine recipients required hospitalization.

It’s really simple though, you simply compare a person’s risk to getting a disease to the risk of dying from the vaccine. It sucks and I hope we can do better but you don’t take a drug that saves more lives then it takes.

“It SHOULD ALWAYS be the patient’s decision to weigh the risk/benefit of the drug with informed consent.

Gardisil is given to teenage girls under 18.In this case it’s up to the parents.At my kids’ doctors office they have a day of the week for 2hrs every week just to give these shots.

One of the problems has been Gilliaume-Barre Syndrome(spelling could be off a tad...). I don’t know that any of the deaths are associated with that condition, but it sure is a serious complication. Also, the vaccine is only effective for 5 years and right now, no booster vaccine exists.

Parents should give this one very serious thought before they go forward with the series of injections.

I'm sure they all wanted to be one less. One less . . . . victim of Gardisil.

When pondering the actual human cost of adverse events, it's a bit staggering. A well-intentioned mom goes to the doctor and gets a vaccine for her daughter to prevent a possible future problem and the daughter dies. Mind-boggling. Gardasil does have quite a snazzy marketing plan thought.

The cancer that this vaccine prevents is caused by a sexually transmitted virus.

Either you work for Merck or you are a candidate for the most ridiculous statement of the day.

Seconded.

I understand all the good but the unknown is what bothers me. I would like to see real life studies instead of the drug companies results.

For the most part, drug company's results=real life studies. It is not easy to get a drug approved, especially in the US. Studies have to be done on people before they are approved.

In this case, I do not understand the hype surrounding this drug. It's a new drug and a new type of drug. I don't see a need to mandate it, however. Let the parents and the health insurers decide. No reason for the state to tell us when to get a vaccine for this.

This is the only drug I know that claims to prevent cancer. I am skeptical.

From what? Any slice of the average human population would present equal numbers. What is your point?

Keeping your legs together would negate the need for the vaccine! Vaccinating 11 year old girls and having them unprotected when they reach and age where sex is more likely (college age, say) is not wise to my mind.

Teaching our daughters what the risks of promiscuity is a smarter move. I’m not being naive. I’m not saying oh, teach chastity only. But really, at 11?

When Mr. Goodhair demanded everyone be vaccinated it started to smell. That should have been a clue money was involved.

Judicial Watch is not the only group warning against Gardasil. An editorial published in the May 10 New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) raised questions about the vaccine’s effectiveness. The editorial, written by George F. Sawaya, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California-San Francisco, and a colleague, said Gardasil is only modestly effective.

“A cautious approach may be warranted in light of important unanswered questions about overall vaccine effectiveness, duration of protection, and adverse effects that may emerge over time,” Sawaya wrote. “HPV vaccination has the potential for profound public health benefit if the most optimistic scenario of effectiveness is realized.”

Another editorial in the same issue, written by Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey M. Drazen and others, highlighted three of Gardasil’s limitations: The two strains of HPV it protects against do not cause all cervical cancer; vaccination must take place before young women are infected with either of those two strains; and “whether this approach will extend the paradigm of vaccination to the prevention of death and disability from cervical cancer is an unanswered question.”

“We must also carefully monitor for unintended adverse consequences of vaccination,” Drazen and his colleagues wrote.
