CDC Takes Closer Look at Gardasil and Paralysis (Bachmann is right
US News ^ | 04/20/09 | US News

Posted on 09/13/2011 5:34:35 PM PDT by markedmannerf

Phil Tetlock and Barbara Mellers were in a race against time to save their 15-year-old daughter, Jenny. As I reported last summer, Jenny developed a degenerative muscle disease nearly two years ago, soon after being vaccinated against the cervical-cancer-causing HPV. She became nearly completely paralyzed, though her mind was perfectly intact and she could still enjoy her pet parakeet, Hannah Montana, and Twilight.

I've been E-mailing Phil regularly over the past year, and up until our last E-mail, one week ago, he had been holding out hope that they would be able to find a cure for his daughter—or to at least determine if the human papillomavirus vaccine called Gardasil had caused his daughter's illness, most likely a juvenile form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's disease). Sadly, the clock ran out last Sunday, and Jenny passed away.

Again, I have not mentioned anyone. Apparently you are spoiling for a fight.

Therefore I bid you good evening.

I understand.
Believe me, I understand.

There are a lot of people that want us to take the world stage as the anti science party.

I'll say it as I did on another thread. This article like the lawyer ad used as “evidence” of Gardisil’s dangers on the other thread is bereft of factual evidence and relies on anecdotal cases and the flawed belief that because A came before B, A caused B. [someone help me with the Latin phrase please]
Weeping makes for a good show,but facts are longer lasting.

Perry forced no one to be vaccinated.

He used an EO to ‘mandate’ vaccines as a political move to put them on the list of medications required to be paid for by insurance AND preserved the existing opt out provisions for those who did not want the vaccine.

At over $300 for the shots, using the existing laws to shift the costs from families that could not afford the meds to the insurance companies allowed for nearly universal access to cancer preventing medication.

What part of that do you disapprove of?

Gov. Rick Perry’s 2007 attempt to require that girls in Texas be vaccinated against the cancer-causing human papillomavirus, commonly known as HPV, has become a political hot potato. But Dr. Ronald DePinho, the new president of MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, says the vaccine is not just sound but “one of the great scientific advances in the history of medicine.”

Wrong.

Perry made vaccines available at no cost by putting them on the mandatory list while preserving the opt out provisions.

Opt out was done because opt in changed the cost of the vaccine.

Thanks. That's interesting. There's a money trail. Whooda thunkit? Maybe one motive for the EO was to support profits? With eleven-year-old girls in the crosshairs? Naw. Let's move on.

GARDASIL is the vaccine promoted as protection against various types of cervical cancer supposedly caused by the HPV virus, and obviously is intended for other purposes. Even with the number of deaths and injury from the vaccine the ads ran non-stop on TV while state and federal governments tried to find ever newer and more invasive ways of making mandatory vaccination a reality. They got their wish; Obamacare calls for mandatory vaccination and proof of updates to vaccinations in order to get any healthcare.

Neither, Gardasil® nor any of the individual active ingredients have been previously approved for commercial marketing or use under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act, or the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act, according to their application for patent.

Gardasil! It isn’t just for the girls!

In 2010 Merck was still waiting for the blessings of FDA to make mandatory their Gardasil vaccine for boys. As recently as November 2010, FDA was thinking of changing the terminology for male Gardasil from “Mandatory” to “Recommended”; after all, we’re dealing with the family jewels here and these are far more important than a few dead ovaries. But approval did come after the male version of Gardasil was tested on 602 young men from the ages of 9 to 26. (I can’t help but wonder how many of these young men knew they were being tested with this deadly vaccine).

Please note in this next article that Gardasil has been expanded to include far more than cervical cancer and includes the observation that “HPV is THOUGHT to be the cause”…not, is the cause or, we know it’s the cause, or we can prove conclusively, or there is substantial evidence,…they just think it could be. This is a broad and vague claim and totally without any conclusive supporting evidence.

Med Page Today:

WASHINGTON — An FDA advisory panel has expressed its support for expanding the indication on the quadrivalent human papillomavirus recombinant vaccine Gardasil to prevent anal intraepithelial neoplasia and anal cancer in males and females ages 9 through 26.

Gardasil was approved in 2006 to prevent genital warts and cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancer in females ages 9 to 26; the vaccine’s indication was expanded in 2009 to include prevention of genital warts in males of that age range.

FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee agreed that the three-dose vaccine should also be used to prevent anal intraepithelial neoplasia and anal cancer caused by HPV strains 6, 11, 16, and 18. HPV is thought to be the cause of 90% of anal cancers.”

____________

In 2008 Merck planned the expansion of Gardasil injections targeting young boys and says the most important new opportunity for the vaccine will be for its use in males. (Merck claims: The vaccine could help prevent males from contracting Human Papilloma virus and spreading it to females through sexual contact.) Merck was on track to seek approval for use in males by the end of 2008 and of course now they have approval. And how many of the deaths and other injuries to young boys and men will go under-reported while MERCK profits?

Gardasil was never tested for cancer causing agents or proof of cancer prevention. It still has not been tested or proven to prevent cervical cancer or any of the other afflictions it claims to prevent. They just “think” it might.

In the interim, Merck’s sales of Gardasil have plummeted beginning back in 2007. Merck claims the reason was that women and girls forgot to go back for the second and third shots.

“We have put in place substantial reminder programs that allow them to improve the ability to remember to go back to the second and third dose. So, we’re doing it by mail, we’re doing it by e-mail, we’re doing it by text messages, and a variety of different technologies to be able to make sure [that] they get to their second, and third doses.”

Only they didn’t come back. Many who received the first shots suffered from partial paralysis, seizures, fevers, muscle spasms and a host of other symptoms. Although every effort was made by Merck and the CDC to squash or minimalize any adverse event reporting, the stories leaked out and the news wasn’t good. The CDC as of 2010 had posted these responses to Gardasil among hundreds of adverse events:

Examples:

“Pt had unwitnessed seizure on 5/21/09. H/O probable seizure activity in the past 6 wks. After seizure, pt has had complaint of headache, dizziness, weakness, balance difficulty. 7/6/09 MR received for DOS 5/21-24/2009 with D/C DX: Seizure. Headache. Pt presented to ER after episode of unresponsiveness with limb flexion, staring, and fall. Disoriented with slurred speech, inappropriate affect, weakness, tiredness and severe H/A after. Recent episodes of involuntary fluttering of R hand. Started on Depakote.

(Depakote is a psychotropic drug used for bi-polar disorder)

Body aches, fatigue, blisters inside mouth, swollen glands, sores on lips and gums, swollen lips were also reported in many cases.”

The VAER report (Vaccine Adverse Event Report) is populated with reports of seizures, fainting, involuntary flailing of limbs, rashes, fevers, paralysis, vomiting, muscle contractions, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, and many other symptoms which appeared immediately after the first injection of Gardasil. It will be years before we know the long term and most likely devastating effects of this killer vaccine.

Gardasil contains extremely high levels of aluminum and polysorbate 80, a known cause of sterility in lab tests on mice, and also known to cause sterility in humans. High levels of other neurotoxic chemicals and the presence of thimerisol, a derivitive of mercury is said to be present although MERCK continues to deny that allegation.

Thanks to the Vaccine Liability Fund, funded in whole by US taxpayers, MERCK will never be held responsible or liable for the deaths and injuries they have caused and instead will simply add up the billions in profits while taxpayers foot the bill for the damages.

Cynthia Janek wrote an article in 2006 for the New American called “FDA and HPV….when did they know?….(follow up). Janek’s research revealed:

“ …the FDA knew back in 2003 that a HPV is not the actual cause of cervical cancer. The actual cause is a ‘persistent HPV infection that may act as a tumor promoter in cancer induction.’”

“What we have here is proof that there is scientific evidence that has been published in the past 15 years that states that HPV infection does not bear a direct relationship to the forming of cervical cancer. It also tells us that HPV, if allowed to will be taken care of by our own body’s natural processes. . .“most infections are short-lived and not associated with cervical cancer.” With this being said, why do we need Gardasil when our own body is more than capable of eradicating HPV?

What we need is a government policy to assist women with the cost of getting follow-up tests when persistent HPV infection is present. This would make more sense and our government would save so much money on these types of programs instead of $360 each for the Gardasil vaccination.” MERCK applied to the FDA for approval of the vaccine to be used on older women.”

____

As MERCK can produce not one independent test trial that proves the link between HPV and cervical cancer, and has even less evidence that Gardasil in fact will prevent any form of cervical cancer, one might think the FDA would have no hesitation in denying access to the market for this lethal vaccine. Oh! We could only dream! The FDA, noted for its funding by the same companies who seek their approval, was dragging its feet, but gave its approval of the extended vaccine in 2010.

As the FDA states with regards to many pharmaceuticals, death is an acceptable side affect. Acceptable to whom? MERCK? Now that the male version of the vaccine is on the market, I believe all males at MERCK and followed by everyone at the FDA should receive the initial doses. We should vaccinate all their children too…….we don’t need successive generations of genocidal monsters.

There is NO reason to make the gardisil vaccine mandatory. NONE.

Sure there is. Read upthread.

I am aware of the article, and we here in Texas are very proud of the accomplishments of MD Anderson.

I lost my 46 year old cousin to cancer this year.

I seemed to have heard this before somewhere...

Vaccinations causes autism, the flu shot causes dystonia, and on and on. Everyone of them have since been debunked and people like Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, who went on nationwide quest trying to “educate” people about the dangers of vaccinations now look like fools.

I googled Phil Tetlock (the father in the article) and found out that he’s a professor of Organizational Behavior at Berkeley.

Here’s his website - http://www.fairness.com/resources/relation?relation_id=25537#self-description

And his greatest claim to fame is a study that “proves” that everybody in the world is a racist.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A27067-2005Jan21.html

I’m sorry that his daughter died, but he’s certainly got his own agenda here.

Bachmann isn’t right.

She said mental retardation, not this.

Gardasil causes death in some cases.

Of course, Bachmann made a couple of errors, but it was certainly good and right of her, and Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum to attack Perry because of this.

No one who ever did what Perry did should ever be President.

It was ridiculous that John King asked Bachmann if Perry’s apology satisfied her. As if what Perry did was insult Bachmann, not show what a terrible person he was.

Gardasil is disqualifying for Perry.

Thank you for the sympathy.
It was inoperable as it was in his brain stem.

He was gone in a year.

Yippie ki-yay, as they say. Nobody had to pay for it! Maybe every $300-a-dose miracle drug should be free. The world would be a better place. Or Texas, at least.
