Take a look at our February 14, 2007 post about Gardasil. It comes as no surprise that the truth is now beginning to come out and once again our friends in big pharma are more interested in money than health.
It was reported in May of this year (2007) that over 1,600 adverse reactions, including three deaths, had been linked to Gardasil, Merck’s new vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV). 371 of those were classified as serious, and, of the 42 women who received the vaccine while pregnant, 18 experienced side effects including spontaneous abortion and fetal abnormalities.
The count on adverse reactions and deaths is steadily rising. The following statistics from the National Vaccine Information Center about this vaccine are instructive: 2,207 adverse reactions to Gardasil have been reported. Among them:
- 5 girls died
- 31 were considered life-threatening
- 1,385 required a visit to the emergency room
- 451 of the girls have not recovered as of July 2007
- 51 of the girls were disabled
By the way, Texas, after a groundswell of public opposition, was forced to back off the government imposed mandatory vaccinations. Score one for the good guys. If you are interested in whether your state is considering imposing mandatory vaccinations, go to this website:
