Gardasil Death & Brain Damage: A National Tragedy

by Barbara Loe Fisher

The tragic story of Gardasil vaccine is one that

is playing out real time in the homes of trusting

parents, who thought they were doing the right

thing to try to make their daughters " one less, "

and in the 21st century cyberspace forum of

public opinion as well as on television. On Feb.

press release calling on President Barack Obama,

his Administration and Congress to investigate

the fast track licensure and universal use

recommendation of Gardasil in 2006 and the

dismissal of more than 10,000 reports of

Gardasil-related reactions, injuries and deaths

to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System

(VAERS) as a " coincidence " by federal health officials.

risk report comparing the number and severity of

adverse events reported to the federal Vaccine

Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) through

November 30, 2008, reveals that death and serious

health problems such as stroke, blood clots,

cardiac arrest, seizures, fainting, lupus and

rechallenge cases are reported three to 30 times

more frequently after Gardasil vaccination than

after meningococcal (Menactra) vaccination. If

the deaths and serious injuries being reported

after Gardasil were only a " coincidence, " there

would be little or no difference between the

frequency and severity of vaccine-related adverse

events between two vaccines if the vaccines were

equally reactive and the number of doses were roughly the same.

Gardasil and Menactra vaccines were licensed

within a year of each other and recommended by

the CDC for universal use in 11-12 year olds.

Although Menactra is given to boys and girls and

has already been mandated in many states for high

school and college entry, Gardasil is only given

to girls and is not yet mandated. Menatra is

given as one-dose series and, by February 25,

2008, the CDC reported that about

QvnXU7ApuPKPtdo6wOd8FKMBA8kdKU7A8FjxqibQcRLuKsvTv4cStB3I=>15.5

million doses of Menactra had been distributed in

the U.S. Gardasil is given in a three dose series

and the CDC reported that, by July 2008, about

xRr5IFwW8JTJSzt-y_BUCaAtrhnLJ5_woQ5SMxcpXaj3p4i1eryk_Fa4=>16

million doses had been distributed in the U.S.

This means that about 15 million doses of

Menactra were given to about 15 million boys

and/or girls and about 16 million doses of

Gardasil - if every girl got three doses - were

given to about five million girls. It is

individuals - not doses of vaccine - who

collapse, convulse, become paralyzed, have heart

attacks, develop lupus and other chronic health

problems after being vaccinated. The fact that

death and serious health problems are reported 3

to 30 times more frequently after Gardasil than

after Menactra is highly significant and it is

irresponsible for federal health officials and

Merck to blow it off as unimportant.

What is sad is that the average junior high or

high school student could do this VAERS analysis

and come to the same conclusion. It does not take

an M.D., Ph.D. or math genius to figure it out.

In the hours before the CBS News report was

broadcast, the best answer that Merck could come

up with to address the differences between

adverse events associated with Gardasil and Menactra was this:

" It's important to remember that the proven

benefit of GARDASIL is that it helps prevent

cervical cancer caused by the two virus types

responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.

Nothing is more important to Merck than the

safety of our products and we carefully monitor

the safety of GARDASIL on a routine basis.

Experts at the FDA and CDC also continue to

review data and, as recently as four months ago,

said " GARDASIL continues to be safe and

effective, and its benefits continue to outweigh

its risks. " NVIC is not a medical organization

and has a long history of raising concerns about

vaccines that are in direct conflict with the

opinion of leading medical experts. We encourage

consumers to get reliable information about the

safety of vaccines from

c.gov. "

No, it doesn't take a doctor, health official or

" medical organization " to do the math. What it

takes is caring about every life - whether that

life represents a baby, toddler, child, teenager,

young adult, adult or senior citizen - because

every life is important and nobody deserves to be

written off by a drug company or government

agency as an expendable casualty of public health policy.

le, the 15 year old gymnast, honor roll

student and cheerleader from Wichita, Kansas, who

talks about how her health has been destroyed by

Gardasil vaccine in the CBS report and in the

NVIC video press release, spends most of her time

at home or at doctors' offices now. A few weeks

ago, her school voted her Homecoming Princess. On

Saturday, she tried to go to the Homecoming

dance. As she was getting dressed, she collapsed

with seizures and severe abdominal pain. The

medication she has been taking to try to control

the seizures she developed after Gardasil

vaccination caused her to develop kidney stones.

She was rushed to the emergency room and hospitalized.

In the past 27 years, the stories of death and

brain damage that have been reported to the

National Vaccine Information Center have never

changed. Whether the vaccine victims are 15

months old or 15 years old, the stories are the

same: a trusting parent took a bright, healthy

child to a doctor for a routine vaccination and

the child was never the same again.

Gardasil vaccine was inappropriately fast tracked

and licensed by the FDA and recommended by the

CDC with too little attention paid to the reports

of brain and immune system dysfunction that

developed after vaccination in pre-licensure

clinical trials. That same cavalier attitude

toward Gardasil-related deaths and serious health

problems, which have been experienced by many

girls and young women after licensure, is inexcusable.

Americans are losing trust in pharmaceutical

companies making drugs and vaccines and in

federal health agencies, whose responsibility is

to ensure that drugs and vaccines licensed for

public use are safe, effective and necessary. If

those responsible for protecting our health are

not going to step up to the plate and do their

jobs, then it is up to the people to do it.

Gardasil risks, and check out our new website

that makes it easier to navigate and find

information to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths.

In 2009, I have a sense of déjà vu, as the story

of Gardasil vaccine plays out real time. There

are striking parallels between how those

operating the mass vaccination system reacted in

the 1980's to persistent reports that DPT vaccine

was harming more children than originally assumed

and the way they are reacting now to persistent

reports that Gardasil is more reactive than it

was originally assumed. Assumption of safety is

no substitute for proof of safety. And turning

away from human suffering in order to protect the

status quo is not the way to run a government

that needs the trust and support of the people.

In the 18th century, Queen Marie Antoinette

looked down at a starving people pleading for

bread to stay alive and said " Let them eat cake. "

It is time for everyone in government, industry

and medicine to take a different approach to

persistent reports of vaccine injuries and deaths

or risk metaphorically suffering the same fate

that ended the monarchy in France. In the 21st

century, today's peasants don't have pitchforks -

they have laptops, desktops, smartphones and the internet.
