Health Lover, Ilena Rosenthal applauds the NY Post for taking on this
issue. There is so much propaganda being spread about Gardasil on
every medium with every trick in the book is being used fueled by a
very well budgeted advertising campaign.

The Gardasil shills are notorious for playing down and minimizing the
deaths and injuries from this drug ... while pretending that it is
some panacea for woman kind. In fact, the longterm effects are
unknown, every injection (you begin with a round of 3 for around a
$500 investment) adds aluminum into your body, and a large number of
non-symptomatic women become symptomatic after this drug. Also,
miscarriages are legendary.

I just found a very outdated unsigned editorial from the NY Times from
February, 2007, when it advised obligatory vaccinations.
Scary stuff.

A Necessary Vaccinehttp://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/26/opinion/26mon1.html

Here are links of an outstanding expose of maybe the most marketed and
most profitable vaccine of all time ...http://ilenarose.blogspot.com/2007/07/politics-pr-of-cervical-cancer....

We know that Merck and the Vaccination Industry put together 'non
profits' whose job was mainly to sell more Gardasil. The lies about
Gardasil here on Usenet have been legendary.

Why did Merck work so hard to receive immunity if their vaccine is
'safe' and fully tested as they claim?

The Snake-oil Vigilantes are the most infamous (David Gorski who hides
behind "Orac" ... Mark Probert ... Terry Polevoy ... Stephen Barrett)
for pushing this unproven dangerous drug on the internet.

EXCERPT:

Under a federal law passed in the late 1980s, victims of vaccines may
file a claim under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, but cannot
sue the pharmaceutical.

Last year, the government added HPV to a list of vaccines, including
polio, hepatitis and measles, granted immunity from suit.

FEDS' WARNING SHOT
GARDASIL CANCER VACCINE PROBED FOR LINK TO 18 DEATHS

GARDASIL - a new cervical-cancer vaccine heavily marketed to young
girls in ubiquitous ads on TV and in movie theaters - is under
investigation for possible links to paralysis, seizures, and 18
deaths.

Federal health officials have logged 8,000 "adverse events" in girls
and women injected with the Merck & Co. vaccine introduced two years
ago, more than 500 of them from New York.

And lawyers last month filed the first two claims on behalf of girls
with ailments blamed on Gardasil under a federal program to compensate
victims of vaccine-caused illness, The Post has learned.

Both girls got the injections at their middle schools.

One is Jesalee Parsons, now 15, of Oklahoma, who began vomiting the
day she got a Gardasil shot and developed pancreatitis, her claim
says.

"It makes me mad because they're saying how great it is, but they
never mention how many people have been hurt by it," Jesalee told The
Post.

Healthy all her life, her family says, Jesalee has been hospitalized
on and off for more than a year. She restricts her diet, takes pain
pills and misses many school days.

"I'm pretty sick all the time," she said.

The other claim was filed for Jessica Vega of Nevada, who came down
with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an immune-system disorder, at age 14 - a
week after her second Gardasil shot.

Thirty others have reported the syndrome after getting the vaccine.

JESSICA'S mom, Rhonda Vega, says the girl's lower legs and arms were
paralyzed, but she's learned to walk again. "Protecting girls against
cervical cancer is a fabulous thing, but if this is what's going to
happen, they need to research it more," she said.

In Florida, the mother of 13-year-old Brittany LeClaire said her
daughter suffered headaches and lethargy after a Gardasil shot last
Aug. 13. On Sept. 2, Brittany's left leg became paralyzed. After
months on a walker, she limps.

Her pediatrician "highly recommended" the vaccination, mom Christina
Bell said. "He told me it was a cancer preventative. I thought it was
the right thing to do. You see it advertised on TV every 15 minutes."

Brittany's case is one of six being prepared for filing by Boston
vaccine lawyer Kevin Conway. He said other cases include "paralysis,
seizures and brain damage."

Gardasil was licensed by the Food and Drug Administration in June 2006
for females ages 9 to 26. Sold worldwide, it's been given to more than
8 million US girls and women, Merck says.

The vaccine is aimed at warding off strains of the human
papillomavirus, or HPV, which can lead to cancer. The vaccinations
cost a total $360.

Securities and Exchange Commission documents show Merck made $1.5
billion in Gardasil sales last year.

ONE doctor who helped conduct clinical trials on Gardasil told The
Post the vaccine has been aggressively marketed to girls too young to
need it.

"There's a huge push for giving this to girls 11 and 12 years of age,"
said Dr. Diane Harper of Dartmouth Medical School. "There's no hurry.
You can give it to someone who is 20, 25 or 30 and still have the same
level of protection."

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, run by the FDA and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has collected thousands of
reports of health problems after Gardasil shots.

The fatalities include:

* A 17-year-old New York girl who collapsed and died on Feb. 22 this
year, two days after the last of three Gardasil injections. An autopsy
could not pinpoint the cause, but doctors suspect a heart-rhythm
disorder.

* An 11-year-old who suffered a heart attack in May 2007, three days
after a Gardasil shot. The nurse who reported it said a doctor blamed
it on "an anaphylactic [severe allergic] reaction to Gardasil." The
feds could not confirm the case.

* A 12-year-old girl with no prior medical problems who died in her
sleep on Oct. 6, 2007, three weeks after a Gardasil shot.

DR. John Iskander, the CDC's acting director for immunization safety,
said a review of 10 confirmed deaths found no common thread. Officials
"concluded to the degree of certainty possible" that Gardasil wasn't
to blame.

"It's tragic that young, apparently healthy people, do die," Iskander
said.

But he added that doctors hold special meetings weekly to review new
cases, and compare them to prior ones.

Fainting is the main symptom linked to Gardasil, he said.

Merck spokeswoman Kelley Dougherty said the company "actively
monitors" reports of side effects.

"An event report does not mean that a causal relationship between an
event and vaccination has been established - just that the event
occurred after vaccination," she said.

A Post analysis of adverse- event reports filed through April 30 found
that about 20 percent followed injections of Gardasil, plus up to
seven other vaccines at the same time - including shots to prevent
flu, chicken pox, hepatitis and tetanus. Almost 6,300 cases involved
Gardasil alone.

Under a federal law passed in the late 1980s, victims of vaccines may
file a claim under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, but cannot
sue the pharmaceutical.

Last year, the government added HPV to a list of vaccines, including
polio, hepatitis and measles, granted immunity from suit.

If victims prove a vaccine likely caused injuries, the program pays a
maximum $250,000 for death. The average payment for injury has been $1
million.
