US Death Toll Associated with HPV Vaccine Jumps to 11 with 3779 Adverse Reactions Reported

WASHINGTON, DC, October 5, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, yesterday released new documents obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, detailing a total of as many as eleven deaths related to Merck's HPV vaccine Gardasil.  Those deaths resulted between June 8, 2006 - when the vaccine received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - and August 2007 when the latest data was available.

The adverse reports coming from the HPV vaccine are increasing daily at an alarming rate.  A LifeSiteNews.com report which scanned a publicly available database of adverse affects coming from the HPV vaccine found 3,137 adverse effects reported on September 28, 2007.  Today the US Government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) lists 3,779 adverse effects.  52 of the cases were deemed "life threatening" and 119 required hospitalization.

In one case highlighted by Judicial Watch a 17 year old girl who was vaccinated in June 2007 died the very day she was vaccinated.  According to the report, she "was vaccinated with a first dose of Gardasil…During the evening of the same day, the patient was found unconscious (lifeless) by the mother. Resuscitation was performed by the emergency physician but was unsuccessful.  The patient subsequently died."

Other serious reported side effects associated with Gardasil include paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and seizures.  Says one report: "Initial and follow-up information has been received from a physician concerning an "otherwise healthy" 13 year old female who was vaccinated with her first and second doses of Gardasil.  Subsequently, the patient experienced…paralysis from the chest down, lesions of the optic nerve…At the time of the report, the patient had not recovered."

"In light of this information, it is disturbing that state and local governments might mandate in any way this vaccine for young girls," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  "These adverse reaction reports suggest the vaccine not only causes serious side effects, but might even be fatal."

The toll from the HPV vaccine may be greater still.  Judicial Watch filed its request on August 20, 2007, and received the adverse event reports from the FDA on September, 13 2007, in what the agency described as a "partial response." On October 3, 2007, Judicial Watch filed a new lawsuit against the FDA for its failure to fully respond to Judicial Watch's FOIA request as required by law.

I have to shake my head at the nannystaters around here, that don’t comprehend their own hypocrisy when they promote one type, yet oppose another.......nannystatism is nanny statism.

HPV is NOT practically normal flora! It is a virus that is spread through sexual contact. Yes, men can infect unsuspecting women. I guess women had better be more discriminating than to subscribe to the sexual mores of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Sad to say it but the advent of AIDS was helpful in one respect. It reined in some of the women who might have otherwise made unwise decisions. I asked a researcher friend if there is yet a test to determine if a man is infected with HPV. There is an HPV detection test for women using the remainders of the pap test vial. He said that the whole genital area of the man would have to be swabbed and then tested. So I guess women will just have to be very careful, vaccinated or not.

Cervical cancer kills approximately 3700 people a year and this vaccine DOES NOT prevent all cervical cancer, influenza kills nearly 20 times that many. Why a push to mandate the HPV vaccine and not the flu vaccine?

“Judicial Watch...”

It’s hard to take anything that starts with this seriously. :p

As a libertarian and a microbiology grad student, I’m very conflicted on mandatory vaccines.

As a microbiology grad student, are you conflicted by the fact that there is no real data regarding the safety or efficacy of the HPV vaccine in prepubescent and pubescent girls?

As an engineer - and a neighbor to Missouri - I say "show me the data".

[metmom]

And there are STILL FReepers who think this vaccine is safe.....

[metmom]

What’s the alternative? The death penalty for taking the vaccine?

Death is something we all face; we get one per. Nobody is guaranteed a perfect pain and trouble free life.

You shouldn’t have any conflict over this.

There’s no excuse for making it mandatory.

If Merck wants to produce the vaccine and some people of thier own free will want to take it, that’s fine by me. That’s their choice and they may live or die by it, making either decision.

Right now, the death rate and adverse reactions from this vaccine is unacceptable. The Polio vaccine came under fire becuase of one case of polio per million vaccines. This is far worse and I don’t hear the MSM complaining about it.

Funny how the CDC suddenly “got religion” on HPV once there was a semi-effective vaccine. Prior to this, they admitted on their website that condoms didn’t stop the spread of HPV, and thousands of American women died each year as a result of infection, yet there was no big campaign about it (because the truth might have made people choose abstinence rather than condomes!)

Sick for them to sit there and decide what info to distribute to the plebes.

AMEN.

My 9yo is in 4th grade, I will opt out of this "mandate" by Virginia when she enters 6th grade. Not because of any religious issues, which so many claim is why people are against it, but because of health issues.

There have not been enough long term studies on the effects of this drug, especially on young pre-menstruating girls. My daughter is not oging to be one of the guinea pigs.

The FDA is a worthless POS.

And the MSM STILL weekly(at least) have another round of crap to hurl at smokers, the same lies regurgitated over 25 years-but they’ll be totally silent on this one. GRRRRRRRRRRR

It seems that many people here seem to forget that the easiest way to detect hpv is through a routine pap smear. According to the CDC’s own website the majority of women who are dying from cervical cancer are not getting a pap smear every year and/or have multiple partners.

Rather than force a vaccine, let’s teach our daughters about how to take care of themselves. A yearly pap smear and breast exam are simple, effective ways for early detection of a broad spectrum of problems with, I daresay, little adverse reactions.

The statistics might be far worse for young age groups.

I agree. I have also noted that the TV commercials for gardisil have been stopped. I wonder why?

[LibertyRocks]

Thanks for the ping! Scary and important information!

People... be sure that if YOUR government representatives are thinking of demanding this vaccination be mandatory in your area that they have this information...

Even just emailing your representatives this article is a great idea!

Legislators are NOT doctors — they need to leave these decisions to the PEOPLE who are taking them and/or their parents and doctors to discuss and decide!!!
