Hey, jaywalk...are you one of those pharmaceutical sales reps?

I can''t think of anyone other than a sales rep or a doctor who gets kickbacks who would want to defend these huge companies.

Big Pharma strikes again. This is heartbreaking to read, and I hope the government gets a REAL FDA that stops big Pharma. I''m so tired of looking at articles like this, and the people, who should be who matter, are nothing under the might and power of the money -hungry big Pharma. This is almost as bad as infants needing 105 or more doses of obscure "vaccinations" before they are even 15 months old and developing autism due to it. And the physicians are being brainwashed to it.Sad story.

THIS is why I didn''t rush my daughters down to the local clinic and make them the latest "specimen" in another drug experiment!!!!!!

If something sounds too good to be true...it probably is. AND, just a sage piece of advice for people out there who don''t pay attention--you probably DON''T want to try the newest drug on the market. Wait...I don''t know...five years or so after it''s come out onto the mass market. Hey, how about 10-15???? That''s when you find out about all the nasty little side effects that no one, including the FDA/CDC, wants to acknowledge until a bunch of sick or dead people force their hands!

...making our children into their lab rats. And some people are so stupid they just willingly offer up their babies on the altars of medical PRACTICE. Makes me MAD!!!!!!!!

In the Spring of 2008, My Daughter had her 1st shot. Later a second shot. But in late Summer, we heard about a girl from her School that was DIEING from having the shots!! We were really concerned about this, but didn''t know for 100% in our minds that this indeed caused Gabby Swank''s decline in health.
I got some emails about Gabby since she is from my town. After seeing it on the National News today, I do believe that Gabby got this from the shots. And therefore I am very scared for any girls/boys that get the shots in the future. And My Daughter was so upset by it, that in November she would not get her 3rd shot. We try to keep our kids safe and do the best we can for them. Then something like this happens and it angers me. Something I was giving my child to help them in the future, could kill her NOW!! And she would have no future on this earth then. I know people are saying that it''s better to take this chance rather than get cancer later. Well I can''t take that chance of my Teen dieing now VS. getting Cancer later. Please pray for Gabby. Also her Mom was laid off and they have not medical ins. now.

Sorry jaywalk but your "research" is not convincing. I have been involved in medical studies and I know how everyone from the bottom to the top works to hide any adverse reaction (with different motivations from profit to greed to hope for a cure).

So when this kind of evidence does come out it is always the tip of a massive iceberg that has been swept under the rug until now.

Who did the FDA roll up under when this happened and who appointed them?

[jaywalk67]

(Continued from previous post) and from the CDC "As of August 31, 2008, there have been 10,326 VAERS reports of adverse events following Gardasil vaccination in the United States. Of these reports, 94% were reports of events considered to be non-serious, and 6% were reports of events considered to be serious. Based on all of the information we have today, CDC and FDA have determined that Gardasil is safe to use and effective in preventing 4 types of HPV.....VAERS defines serious adverse events as adverse events that involve hospitalization, death, permanent disability, and life-threatening illness. As with all VAERS reports, serious events may or may not have been caused by the vaccine. All serious reports (6%) for Gardasil have been carefully analyzed by medical experts. Experts have not found a common medical pattern to the reports of serious adverse events reported for Gardasil that would suggest that they were caused by the vaccine. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaers/gardasil.htm Took me all of 5 minutes to find reasonable sources of information that doesn''t look as though it''s scaremongering.

[jaywalk67]

So much for investigation, the "vaccine Safety" group should have been investigated because they are anti-vaccine, not to mention a qualified opinion should have been sought into this claim (I couldn''t dignify it as research). Completely unverified VAERS reports were used, comparing a one-dose vaccine with a three dose vaccine. VAERS data states "VAERS receives reports of many events that occur after immunization. Some of these events may occur coincidentally following vaccination, while others may truly be caused by vaccination. Studies help determine if there is more than a temporal (time) association between immunization and adverse events. The fact that an adverse event occurred following immunization is not conclusive evidence that the event was caused by a vaccine....It is important to remember that many adverse events reported to VAERS may not be caused by vaccines." http://vaers.hhs.gov/vaers.htm (continues)

I am so glad to know that finally someone is starting to question what is happening with this vaccine. My beautiful 20 yr old healthy, happy daughter died two months ago, I believe it was the Gardasil vaccine.There are three other families in my own town that have lost their daughters, suspect, the Gardasil vaccine. Please I beg you to research this vaccine before you have your daughter vaccinated. There is something very wrong with this drug and it needs to come to light. Thank you for this article.Sign me as "ONE LESS DAUGHTER"

The Texas GOV pushed this and thankfully was rebuked.

When will the American voters really understand that we need GOV rules, regulations and competent oversite to prevent the rape by banks, pharm Co''s, oil Co''s, Peanut processors, ... geesh we could go on and on about how American CO''s have raped us all, have little oversite and still think trickle down is a solution that Americans will buy. The less gov is good gov mantra has proven to be the downfall of America as we know it! No gov is not responsible for all our problems but they are responsible for making sure that big biz does not not keep raping us all like they have! Todays problem were created by big biz greed and corruption! It was not caused by the middle class unless you believe that we are responsible for being so gulible and stupid to see the bubble big biz created! Look at the compensation issues that are coming to light and you see a section of America that think because they are rich, entitled to excess and derserve to have more than you due to their name, friends and culture they live in!

The repubs should be afraid ... very afraid!

well if the pharma company that makes it and makes all that money from it issues a statement that it is safe, why is there any doubt? Surely you do not mistrust a big pharma company...

I too am sorry for anyone who has died from cervical cancer but to think that at one time they were considering that all teen girls be vaccinated with Gaurdasil is frightening. My gynecologist suggested I get my daughter in to be vaccinated. I would not allow my daughter to be vaccinated by something that was being advertised on television to prevent cancer, only in some cases. The risk was too high. There was not enough testing done in my opinion to "push" this drug.

[sarahsam-2009]

Excellent article. 5,000 trips to the emergency room and 29 healthy children killed and people still defend this worthless snake oil. How brainwashed can people get?? Merck executives should be charges with murder because they KNOW THE VACCINE IS NOT SAFE.

[mrsh0150-2009]

Dear TeresaV7: I am sorry your mom had cancer, but am glad she is still alive. You and your friends are lucky that you haven''t had any severe reactions to the vaccine. Please don''t be so hard on who aired this piece. It is necessary. As a grandmother, when I first heard of this vaccine I have had a negative feeling about it. I have told my daughter NOT to get it for my granddaughters. I believe that there is not enough evidence to prove that it is safe. I think by this report, my theory is being proven correct. I think you will find that in the years to come, as these girls are old enough to have kids, you will find that this vaccine will have messed up their baby factories. I hope you and your friends don''t have a problem like that, but don''t be surprised. How do you know that the cancer your mom had would have been prevented by this vaccine? The disclaimer with this vaccine states that it does not take care of ALL HPV''s or cancer. You could still be at risk. So why risk taking a vaccine that has not been allowed to prove what will happen when the girls grow up and get older? In my opinion there is too much still unknown about this drug.

I''m surprised the report doesn''t also mention that the Gardasil shot has also caused genital warts (HPV) in some of the younger children receiving it. It''s one thing to have side effects, but when one of the side effects is giving someone the disease itself someone needs to rethink the vaccine. Especially because most cases of HPV resolve without ever causing cancer, and because the vaccine doesn''t even protect against all strains of HPV. There are lots of other girls who have been affected and/or died from the Gardasil shot. Maybe when healthy young male athletes start keeling over people will wake up and listen. Hopefully it won''t come to that.
