Let me share something about health this time. This is alarming news and I’m not even sure if this is true or not. This may just be a propaganda of Gardasil’s competitors or some people just wanna throw allegations to Merck & Co. On the other hand, facts indicated below may also be true. You be the judge.
Most women out there probably have heard about the great news that cervical cancer can be prevented through a vaccine. I, for one, have been pushed by my mom to get this cervical cancer vaccine soon. Though a shot really costs a lot, I think there is nothing expensive when it comes to health concerns. Even if I’m not so comfortable with needles and even if a vaccine may have reported minor side effects, I’m willing to give it a shot, especially if the vaccine has something to do with fighting cancer. Probably, this is how most people think too.
When I watched the video below though, I was alarmed. I’m not sure if this is true, but reports say that 32 girls have died already due to Gardasil. Side effects of this cervical cancer vaccine are said to be pain and swelling, life-threatening muscle weakness, and blood clots in the heart and lungs. Now, isn’t that alarming? To know more about this surprising news, watch the video below of Jenny Thompson, Director of The Health Sciences Institute.
Disclaimer: This may or may not be real facts. If you have noticed, Jenny Thompson only talked about Gardasil. I’m not sure if other brands of cervical cancer vaccine, like Cervarix, also have similar cases. It is best to consult your doctors regarding this news. I just wanna share with everyone this shocking news that has been all over the internet. If anyone would want to shed more light on this, just leave a comment below. With such delicate news, all women are probably interested to know the truth about this.
Hi Lush Angel, Firstly good on you for getting this information about Gardasil “out there” I’m writing from New Zealand where I was shocked into setting up a website http://www.offtheradar.co.nz after looking into this vaccine for my daughter. Jenny Thompson is for real and what she says in the video is true. Merck has “create” this fear of HPV. The fact is 98% of women will eradicate strains of this virus from their bodies with their own immune system. We don’t need a vaccine to do it for us. Also it has NEVER BEEN PROVEN that HPV causes cervical cancer. Also it has NEVER BEEN PROVEN that Gardasil prevents cervical cancer. Dr Diane Harper who headed the clinical trials for Gardasil has spoken out against Merck misleading the public with regard to Gardasil preventing cervical cancer. Dr Harper says it will be another 20-30 years before they know whether is claim is correct or not.
This vaccine also has sterility issues surrounding it. There are just too many questions and not enough “credible valid” reasons to have this vaccine.
Thanks for this information, Julie!
ohh this is interesting. i had my shots done late last year. i forgot which manufacturer though. my arm (the area where the shot was done) hurt for a month.
Oh yah? Hmmm… good thing you’re okay now. 🙂
My daughter had the shots when they first came out in 2006. She has been sick ever since. It has taken us 3 years to link her sickness to the gardisil vaccination. She is 21 – went from an active, extremely fit girl to a sick and fatigued girl. Symptoms started showing up after the Gardisil shots. Symptoms include hair loss, extreme fatigue, insomnia, stomach cramping and stomach bloating, muscle pain and aches. She has developed auto immune issues and allergies. Gardisil has aluminum in the vaccine.
Does anyone know what all these sick girls can do to make them selves better? Getting through the days are a struggle for my daughter. I am disappointed in myself that I didn’t check into this vaccine more before i let them give it to her. We are extremely saddened by this. We have spent thousands of dollars on medical expenses only to be told she has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Yeah, you bet she does and it all started shortly after her Gardisil shots.
Please e-mail me if you have any ideas for getting healthy again. E-mail me at [email protected]
To all those out there suffering, I am sooo sorry and its just not fair to these young people.
This is confusing. How come FDA has recommended the use of Gardasil if it allegedly causes these harmful side effects? I am about to avail of this soon since this offers more extensive protection compared to Cervarix.
Also please see this memo from FDA regarding the safety of Gardasil: http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/ucm179549.htm
Hi Paola! I, myself, is also confused if this is true or not. I am also about to get vaccine for cervical cancer. I posted this article to know the truth behind this news going around the internet. Anyway, thanks for the link you gave.
