Gardasil Damage Stories Everywhere, When Will the FDA Act?
By J.B. Handley

Here is an except from my appearance on Larry King Live back in April of this year:

LARRY KING: J.B. Handley, they were saying earlier that they're not against you. They're open to listen to you. They just disagree with what you're saying. 



HANDLEY: The AAP doesn't listen at all, Larry. They never look at recovered children. They never look at recovered children. They rubber stamp every vaccine on the schedule. Dr. Fisher never answered why so few countries have picked up varicella, flu or rotavirus. Meantime, AAP rubber stamps every vaccine, like Gardasil, which is damaging teenaged girls right now, which will likely be pulled from the market very soon. There is the AAP rubber stamp on that vaccine.

My conviction to discuss Gardasil on Larry King came from THIS extremely disturbing report the NVIC had released in February 2009 sounding the alarm on the high number of VAERS reports of adverse events from Gardasil. Given FDA’s willingness to pull the RotaShield vaccine after far fewer adverse events, it reasoned to believe that Gardasil was destined to experience a similar fate. Right?

Unfortunately, every warning and prediction by NVIC appears to be coming true, and this is just from the cases actually making the news and being reported to VAERS, which we all know represent a tiny fraction of total cases. Below is just a small sample of reports that have been made public. Perhaps by seeing many stories in one place people will start to realize that these appear to be anything but rare events, and that Gardasil is creating lifetime disability or death for so many previously healthy girls.

What can you do to help? Just forward a link to this post to every parent of a daughter that you know, and beg them to read the articles. Below is just a brief summary of what has been reported in the press about the growing community of injured daughters known as the “Gardasil Girls”:

Cervical cancer drug Gardasil linked to deaths

Fears have been raised over the safety of a cervical cancer vaccine which health officials plan to give all 12-year-old girls, after it was revealed that the drug has been linked to several deaths. Three young women are reported to have died days after the drug Gardasil was administered, while the jab is also suspected of triggering "adverse reactions" in 1,700 patients. The figures were uncovered by campaigners who made a freedom of information request in the US, where the vaccine was approved for use a year ago…

One Less

In early 2007, as the pharmaceutical giant Merck began promoting its new vaccine Gardasil as protection against cervical cancer, Brooke Petkevicius was a nineteen-year-old freshman at UC Berkeley. She had seen the ads for the vaccine, and discussed getting it with her mother, whose gynecologist also had recommended it. On March 12, Brooke received the first of three doses. Two weeks later, she dressed to go running with a friend. As they reached the elevator, Brooke suddenly collapsed against the wall and had a seizure.

Death toll linked to Gardasil vaccine rises Complications include shock, 'foaming at mouth,' convulsions, coma

"Given all the questions about Gardasil, the best public health policy would be to re-evaluate its safety and to prohibit its distribution to minors. In the least, governments should rethink any efforts to mandate or promote this vaccine for children,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. The organization's work uncovered reports of about one death each month since last fall, bringing the total death toll from the drug to at least 18 and as many as 20. There also were 140 "serious" reports of complications including about three dozen classified as life-threatening, 10 spontaneous abortions and half a dozen cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

My Girl Died As Guinea Pig For Gardasil

Run by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it has collected 8,000 reports of problems after Gardasil shots, including paralysis, seizures and miscarriages.
Seventeen other deaths following the vaccine have been reported since Merck & Co. introduced it in 2006…Officials have confirmed 11 of the reported deaths so far, said CDC spokesman Curtis Allen…Lisa Ericzon now feels her daughter was "a guinea pig" for Gardasil, and is urging parents to research the vaccine before letting their daughters get it.
"I want other mothers to know," said Lisa, the first parent of a girl who died after Gardasil to speak publicly.

HPV Vaccine Adverse Events Worrisome Says Key Investigator

Serious neurologic, thromboembolic, and autoimmune complications have been reported in patients who received human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines.

New Worries About Gardasil Safety

Gabby Swank was a straight-A student and cheerleader. But that was before she became very ill following the standard dose of three Gardasil vaccinations, Attkisson reports. "It was like a big hype among my friends, because we're like, 'we're gonna get it' because we felt almost pressured by the commercials," Gabby said. Gabby got sicker after each shot, progressing to seizures, strokes and heart problems. It was her neurologist who suspected Gardasil was to blame. "I think there are too many people having serious long-term side-effects," said neurologist Dr. Dwight Lindholm.
