" We need to move toward a paradigm where this is a universal vaccine, " he said in a commentary published in the latest issue of the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology. " BL Fisher Note: In what is perhaps the most brilliant public relations and marketing strategy ever employed by a pharmaceutical company promoting the universal use of a vaccine most Americans do not need to prevent cervical cancer, Merck & Co. is in the process of pulling off one of the biggest money making schemes in the history of medicine. The Big Pharma giant that brought us death by Vioxx has convinced the FDA, CDC, public school officials and gynecology professors as well as the entire European Union that every man and woman in the world must purchase and be injected with the HPV vaccine in order to survive. Never mind that the majority of all sexually active humans are asymtomatically infected with HPV and go on to successfully produce antibodies and clear it from their bodies without any residual negative health effects whatsoever. Never mind that only 12,000 American women get HPV related cervical cancer every year because routine pap smears have reduced cervical cancer cases by more than 70 percent in the past half century by detecting persistent HPV infection in the small percentage of women who do not naturally clear HPV infection. Never mind that Merck only tested its HPV vaccine on a few hundred nine year old girls but is now lobbying for all little girls AND boys to be required to get three shots of HPV vaccine - at a cost of $120 per shot - in order to attend school. If Merck can pull the wool over enough eyes of the dumb sheep we have become, then Merck will rake in more than $3 billion a year worldwide in Gardasil sales alone. That would pay off a good number of the more than 11,000 Vioxx victims and their families now suing Merck in court. HPV Vaccine: it's unnecessary, it's expensive, it's never been tested for the ability to cause immune system disorders over time, particularly in genetically vulnerable individuals. And yet, almost no one is standing up to ask the question: why are the wheels being greased to make HPV vaccine mandatory for every man, woman and child in the world? Because like hepatitis B vaccine, which the CDC told pediatricians in 1991 to give to all babies at birth for an adult disease that is sexually transmitted, HPV vaccine is a vaccine the CDC is telling doctors in 2006 to give to all little girls and boys for a disease that is sexually transmitted. And what is the ultimate sexually transmitted disease now plaguing mankind? That's right: HIV. AIDS. The big one. The one that drug companies are using billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money to develop an HIV vaccine that governments of the world will pay more money to force every citizen to use. Every year the Vaccine Machine grows stronger while educated citizens in developed nations, who should know better, are led like ignorant sheep to slaughter, barely uttering a wimper. When the experimental AIDS vaccine is trotted out in the not to distant future and rushed to market with calls for world mandates, we will have been softened up to accept our fate without too much fuss by the masterful marketing of hepatitis B vaccination at birth and HPV vaccination in pre-adolescence. And when we or our husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, sons or daughters get sick after being injected with just a little bit of the HIV virus, we will have been carefully taught to believe it is all just a coincidence: the vaccine had nothing to do with it. No one, including Merck and other HIV vaccine marketeers, or the government will take responsibility for what happens. We allowed ourselves to be victimized a long time ago when we let our politicians weaken the FDA's regulatory authority and take away our right to seek justice in the civil court system for vaccine injuries. The expedited injection of HPV vaccine into everyone in the world is just a trial run for how easy it will be to expedite the injection of HIV vaccine into everyone in the world. And when we all test positive for HIV after that future forced vaccination experiment on humanity, we will have only ourselves to blame for failing to stand up now and say no to forced use of HPV vaccine. Merck's cervical cancer vaccine gets EU's nod Human papilloma virus vaccine Gardasil could be on market in Europe by October. CNN Money July 28, 2006 LONDON (Reuters) -- Merck & Co Inc's Gardasil, the first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, was endorsed by a panel of European experts on Friday, bringing mass vaccination against the killer disease a step nearer. Gardasil, viewed by analysts as a multibillion- dollar-a-year seller, is a new kind of vaccine that prevents cervical cancer by protecting against the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) which can trigger tumors. The London-based European Medicines Agency said its Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use had recommended Gardasil for the prevention of cancer, precancerous lesions and genital warts caused by four strains of HPV. Recommendations by the committee are normally formally approved by the European Commission within a couple of months. Full story Schools to Offer STD Vaccine L.A. Unified will give female students the option of receiving a shot that could prevent cervical cancer. Some parents voice opposition. Los Angeles Times July 24, 2006 By Lynn Doan, Times Staff Writer The Los Angeles Unified School District, and possibly dozens of other school districts in Los Angeles County, plan to offer female students a controversial vaccine that prevents a virus linked to cervical cancer, health officials said. As the shots become available in the coming months, L.A. Unified officials said, female students with parental consent would be eligible to receive Gardasil, a vaccine recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration that prevents four types of the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV), two of which cause cervical cancer. Some conservative groups have expressed concern that providing the vaccine to adolescent girls would encourage them to engage in sexual behavior. An advisory committee of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that all 11- and 12-year-old girls receive the vaccine, along with young women currently ages 13 to 18. It is generally not recommended for older women who may have already been exposed to HPV. The committee also voted to add Gardasil to its list of vaccines provided by the federal Vaccines for Children program. Through the program, Los Angeles County distributes 16 approved vaccines for free to qualified healthcare providers, including 22 school districts, 80 nonprofit community clinics and 44 county health services sites. Maiorca, who retired two weeks ago as L.A. Unified's director of nursing services, said the vaccine would be offered each year at dozens of clinics that the district operates. The district's 600 school nurses will be responsible for spreading the word. Full story Cancer vaccine would benefit both sexes Once used exclusively for women, Gardasil also could help prevent sexually transmitted virus in men. CNN Money July 31, 2006 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- A new vaccine aimed at halting the spread of a common sexually transmitted virus that can lead to cervical cancer should eventually be given to both sexes, doctors said on Monday. The vaccine, Gardasil from Merck (down $0.38 to $40.74, Charts), was licensed in June by the Food and Drug Administration for use in women and girls 9 to 26 years of age. It protects against four types of the human papillomavirus, also known as HPV or human wart virus. A government advisory committee agreed a month ago to recommend the vaccine for girls aged 11 and 12, girls and women aged 13 to 26 who have not yet received the vaccine and women who have had abnormal pap smears, genital warts or certain other conditions. Dr. Bradley Monk, associate professor in gynecologic oncology at the University of California at Irvine, said the best use of the vaccine would include giving it to girls and boys and all women and men, regardless of their individual risk factors. " We need to move toward a paradigm where this is a universal vaccine, " he said in a commentary published in the latest issue of the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology. But some groups oppose requiring the shots for school attendance, saying parents should decide whether to immunize their children against a sexually transmitted virus. Men can pass on the virus to their sexual partners, so it makes sense to vaccinate boys against HPV, and it would also protect them from genital warts, Monk said. He dismissed the argument that vaccinating people against a sexually transmitted disease would encourage promiscuity. " Just because you wear a seat belt, does that mean you drive recklessly? Or just because you give your son a tetanus shot, does that mean he is going to go out and step on a rusty nail? Of course not, " Monk said. GlaxoKline (down $0.16 to $55.46, Charts) is also developing a vaccine against HPV strains, which infect about half of sexually active adults sometime during their life. The virus is usually harmless, but can lead to abnormal cells in the cervix lining that can turn cancerous. It can also cause cancer of the penis. " To have a vaccine that prevents cancer and not use it would be one of the greatest tragedies, " Monk said.
