The HPV Vaccine

Thanks to LRC reader, , for alerting me to these hit pieces on Sanjay

Gupta. The articles are pure speculation about Gupta's (and the Bush family

s) ties to Merck. I'm tempted to give Gupta the benefit of the doubt - that

is, he is probably just poorly informed (relying mostly on Pharma

advertising, as many doctors do) and optimistic about the promises of modern

medicine, rather than consciously taking pay-offs from Big Pharma. But, I

found the information on Merck's HPV vaccine interesting. According to the

Counterpunch article (emphasis mine):

....after the Food and Drug Administration had approved the [HPV vaccine],

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had recommended it for broad

use, and questions grew in the press as to why this " miracle breakthrough "

had not been peer reviewed, did Merck finally release its late phase trial

data.

Eleven and twelve year old girls, the very target of proposed mandatory

vaccination by Merck, were never tested at all for efficacy in pre-licensing

clinical trials. Merck simply decided that the bodies of prepubescent girls

would react the same as mature women to the vaccine. The FDA was fully aware

of this when they licensed the vaccine for potentially millions of

prepubescent girls, requiring only that post licensing studies be done for

efficacy and safety on these children after they were injected with the drug

The FDA and CDC (and Surgeon Generals and elected officials, etc...) are not

going to protect you and your family, despite all of the propaganda stating

otherwise.
