I find it very interesting that since the FTC first received the NSF Petition, I saw virtually NO TV ads about Gardacil until 8:20 A.M. during Good Morning America on the Minneapolis/St. (MN) affilliate of ABC. I can only assume that was one reason the FTC "fudged" on when it had initially received the Petition. It wanted to take off the ads, thinking we might "go away" if we saw far fewer ads. Any other similar experiences within our forums?

I've been keeping close tabs on other drug ads of all sorts on TV: antihistamines, asthma inhalers, anti-osteoporosis meds--both oral and IV(Heaven help us!), sleep products--both OTC and Rx, etc., and yes, even Mature Made Vitamins with liquids inside, because I believe it is fundamentally wrong to advertise these items in this way. I don't get magazines because of my very severe MCS, and I listen only to National Public Radio and Minnesota Public Radio.

I have seen occasional fainting episodes," Dr. Siqueira told Gillen. Dr. Siqueira says she believes

the fainting episodes are not tied to just the Gardasil vaccine but is the reaction of certain adolescents to an injection. Because of concerns over some girls who have reportedly fainted and injured themselves falling, the National Vaccine Information Center recommends that girls receive the shot lying down and that they be observed for 15 minutes after the injection. "Brittany's case is at a quandary," said Cronin, attorney for the Bell family. Cronin says it is an uphill battle trying to investigate whether the Gardasil shot played any role in what has happened to Brittney. Bell says Brittney's pediatrician does not believe there is a link. Now the Bell family has learned that Merck can't be sued over its Gardasil vaccine because it has been added to a federal list of vaccines recommended by the government. The vaccine manufacturers are insulated from liability. It's a

fact many parents, and even some doctors, may not be aware of. "You can't sue Merck over Gardasil," Gillen told Dr. Siqueira. She replied, "It's because vaccines are protected." ------------------ Statement from Merck regarding the GARDASIL vaccine: Merck actively monitors adverse event databases throughout the world, including the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

Ditto! On the other hand, we want and need all the evidence we can get to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the general public is being brainwashed into believing that whatever we see on TV, hear on the radio, or read in a magazine or newspaper is going to be a "cure-all" or panacea.

I gave testimony on the Gardasil vaccine here in CO this past year.

The hearing room was packed w/drug reps, lobbyists, and doctors

who profit off of our children. Many of these doctors are, coincidentally,

and conveniently, on the advisory boards of Merck and other drug pushers.

And then we have the state 'health' dept. honchos, all of whom have formerly

been drug reps, lobbyists, or regulatory (FDA, CDC, NIH, AMA, etc.) employees.

The collusion between all of these groups is so transparent, yet our elected

reps look the other way. Most of them have already made up their minds about

how they are going to vote, so at best, it's a formality in that the people who sign

up to testify, such as myself and other parents, think we have a 'shot' at effecting

change. We can dream...

The end result was that Merck, through its 'Women in Gov't' advocacy group

composed of women legislators who pay $100 to be a member, and funded by

Merck to the tune of $4 million a year across the US, got its way. They didn't

have the votes to mandate it, however, they got the insurance cos. to foot the

bill so those of us who would never consider this shot will have to pay higher

premiums inevitably.

They took the $1.5 million that had been funding a successful treatment program

for cervical cancer and HPV, which by the way does not cause cervical cancer,

using pap smears and cervical screenings which have been effective at detecting

abnormal cells. They then allocated this money to the state 'health' dept. to

promote Gardasil. Unbelievable!! Those of us who testified against this bill to

mandate Gardasil sat there stunned and in disbelief. The drug reps/lobbyists

were elated. Business as usual at the Capitol.

In the meantime, appx. 4,000 adverse events have been reported and 28 girls

have died (don't have the year to date figures, so these numbers are probably

higher). Of the 28 girls who died, 17 died during clinical trials, and 85% of 1200

recipients suffered severe side effects such as myalgia, asthma, juvenile and

rheumatoid arthritis, seizures, loss of consciousness, paralysis, and Guillain-Barre.

I have already been in contact w/two families whose daughters have had side

effects such as asthma (which they'd never had), and paralysis on the left side

of one girl's body. There are many more victims out there and their doctors often

will assuage them by saying that their side effects couldn't possibly be related to

the 675 micrograms of reactive aluminum in the 3 shot series. 1 microgram is

considered toxic. Google search Dr. Hugh Fudenberg for his studies on the

effect of aluminum on the body, in particular flu shots which increase one's risk

of developing Alzheimer's.

Some of the main researchers/scientists who worked on Gardasil stated that they

felt the vaccine had been rushed to market and the test studies were premature.

However, they were overruled by Merck and the FDA who are in bed w/each other.

It's been recommended to the FDA that Merck pull this vaccine off the market,

however, Merck has influenced them to keep it on until they recoup most of their

R & D expenses. This has the trappings of another Vioxx scandal whereby the

FDA had been warned previously of the numerous heart attacks and strokes which

were being reported, however, they dragged their feet as Merck officials offered up

false reports not revealing the thousands of victims who had died or been injured

by Vioxx. It will take many more deaths and injuries before Gardasil is pulled from

the market.

Please let everyone you know who has daughters and sons, as they are soon to be

targeted too, to avoid this dangerous vaccine at all costs. This is just a moneymaker

for Merck to recoup the loss from Vioxx which they were recently ordered to pay victims

$4.85 million. They were also found liable for tax evasion as they were hiding profits

in offshore accounts resulting in several million more to be paid to the IRS. The Univ.

of Colorado recently sued them for patent infringement and it goes on and on....
