Gardasil, the vaccine for HPV (human papillomavirus), may not be as safe as backers claim.
Judicial Watch
announced it has received documents from the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) revealing that its National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program (VICP) has awarded $5,877,710 dollars to 49 victims
in claims made against the highly controversial HPV (human
papillomavirus) vaccines. To date 200 claims have been filed with VICP,
with barely half adjudicated.
“This new information from the government shows that the
serious safety concerns about the use of Gardasil have been
well-founded. Public health officials should stop pushing Gardasil on
children.” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
The CDC recommends the Gardasil vaccine, made by Merck
Pharmaceuticals, for all females between 9 and 26 years to protect
against HPV. Furthermore, the CDC says Gardasil is licensed, safe, and
effective for males ages 9 through 26 years.
The facts appear to contradict the FDA’s safety statements. The
adverse reaction reports detail 26 new deaths reported between September
1, 2010 and September 15, 2011 as well as incidents of seizures,
paralysis, blindness, pancreatitis, speech problems, short term memory
loss and Guillain-BarrĂ© Syndrome. The documents come from the FDA’s
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) which is used by the FDA
to monitor the safety of vaccines.
That’s 26 reported deaths of young, previously healthy, girls after Gardasil vaccination in just one year.
In response to the concern about death reports among those who received Gardasil, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) insists “there was no unusual pattern or clustering to the deaths that would suggest that they were caused by the vaccine.”
While it is not clear exactly what is causing so many adverse
reactions, Gardasil does contain genetically engineered virus-like
protein particles as well as aluminum, which can affect immune function.
Further, according to the vaccine manufacturer product information
insert, “Gardasil … not been evaluated for carcinogenicity or
impairment of fertility.” (2007 [227] p1986 )
In fact, Merck studied the Gardasil vaccine in fewer than 1,200
girls under 16 prior to it being released to the market under a
fast-tracked road to licensure. To date, most of the serious side
effects, including deaths, that occurred during the pre-licensure
clinical trials and post marketing surveillance have been written off as
a “coincidence” by Merck researchers and government health officials.
Neurologist Dr. Ian Sutton reported negative neurological side
effects from Gardasil. He reported five cases of multiple sclerosis-like
symptoms emerging shortly after women received the Gardasil vaccine,
noting:
“We report five patients who presented with multifocal or
atypical demyelinating syndromes within 21 days of immunization with the
quadrivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil. Although
the target population for vaccination, young females, has an inherently
high risk for MS, the temporal association with demyelinating events in
these cases may be explained by the potent immuno-stimulatory properties
of HPV virus-like particles which comprise the vaccine.”
From its inception, the use of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccines
for sexually transmitted diseases has been hotly disputed. According
to the Annals of Medicine:
“At present there are no significant data showing that either Gardasil
or Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline) can prevent any type of cervical cancer
since the testing period employed was too short to evaluate long-term
benefits of HPV vaccination.”
There are more than 100 types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Of
them, about 40 types of HPV are sexually transmitted and 15 of these
types are most associated with cervical cancers and genital warts in
women and men.
HPV vaccines have been illegally administered to millions without informed consent, as the risks rarely disclosed.
Not only are there questions about the safety of the vaccine,
there are questions about the need for the vaccine. Over 90 percent of
women infected with HPV clear the infection naturally within two years, at which point cervical cells go back to normal.
Meanwhile, Merck is benefitting tremendously from vaccine sales.
The vaccine is expected to reach $1 billion in sales next year, and
could reach more than $4 billion in sales in five years, according to
Wall Street analysts.
