HPV Vaccine Safety: Has the CDC abandoned its mission?

By Norma Erickson

What would happen if a vaccine turned out to cause more health problems than the disease it was meant to protect against? Are medical consumers watching this scenario unfold with HPV vaccines?

The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) states 90% of all HPV infections clear on their own with no symptoms or medical treatment. Yes, human papillomavirus (HPV) may be one of the most commonly sexually transmitted viruses in the country, but in the vast majority of cases there are no serious health consequences to being exposed to human papillomavirus.

In those cases where infections with the same genotype of HPV persist over time, abnormal cervical lesions may develop. These abnormal lesions (CIN), classified 1, 2, or 3, are typically called ‘precancerous’ lesions. Not many people are aware of the fact that most CIN1 lesions go away on their own within two years. 25-50% of CIN2 lesions regress on their own within the same two year time frame. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), World Health Organization, the results of a pooled analysis of studies published between 1950 and 1993 indicated only 12% of CIN3 lesions progress to invasive cervical cancer.

Chapter 2 of the IARC’s COLPOSCOPY AND TREATMENT OF CERVICAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA: A BEGINNER’S MANUAL states:

“Despite women’s frequent exposure to HPV, development of cervical neoplasia is uncommon. Most cervical abnormalities caused by HPV infection are unlikely to progress to high-grade CIN or cervical cancer, as most of them regress by themselves. The long time frame between initial infection and overt disease indicates that several cofactors (e.g., genetic differences, hormonal effects, micronutrient deficiencies, smoking, or chronic inflammation) may be necessary for disease progression. Spontaneous regression of CIN may also indicate that many women may not be exposed to these cofactors.”

Please note this manual was designed to teach medical and nursing personnel in developing countries where diagnostic and therapeutic expertise is not readily available. In other words, the progression from HPV exposure to potential development of cervical cancer is similar in both developing countries and developed countries. It also indicates that several cofactors (risk factors) may be needed for HPV exposure to progress to abnormal lesions, much less cervical cancer.

What does this mean for the average medical consumer?

• HPV has not been proven to cause cervical cancer without other risk factors being present.
• Persistent infections with high-risk HPV genotypes may lead to the development of cervical cancer if other risk factors are present.
• According to the IARC, risk factors that contribute to the development of cervical cancer precursors and cervical cancer include infection with certain oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV), sexual intercourse at an early age, multiple sexual partners, multiparity (giving birth two/more times, or giving birth to twins), long-term oral contraceptive use, tobacco smoking, low socioeconomic status, infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, micronutrient deficiency and a diet deficient in vegetables and fruits.

These are all facts that CDC officials know, or should know. Given this, how can these same CDC officials recommend and promote the universal use of HPV vaccines in an attempt to eliminate one risk factor involved in the development of cervical cancer?

Of equal concern is that the CDC knows the cervical cancer death rate in the United States has decreased substantially due largely to the introduction and wide use of pap smears.

The CDC would certainly know the side effects of pap smears, which are mild and limited to:

• Slight pelvic discomfort or pain during the procedure
• Temporary abdominal cramping during or shortly after the procedure
• Mild vaginal bleeding for up to 24 hours following the procedure

CDC officials also know that pap smears can identify abnormal cervical lesions long before they progress to cervical cancer. The CDC knows pap smears already provide a safe, affordable, necessary and effective means of preventing cervical cancer and cervical cancer deaths.

Despite all of this knowledge, the CDC wholeheartedly recommends two HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, claiming both protect against cervical cancer in women.

However, because pre-licensure clinical trials often do not detect rare adverse events or adverse events related to special populations, the CDC and FDA are both responsible for ongoing safety monitoring of HPV and other vaccines.

How the CDC says they Monitor HPV Vaccine Safety:

Vaccines continue to be monitored for safety after they are licensed. This is because pre-licensure trials are often too small to detect rare events and special populations may not be adequately represented. Since licensure, CDC and FDA have been closely checking the safety of HPV vaccines through 3 monitoring systems. These systems can monitor adverse events (health problems) already known to be caused by vaccines, as well as detect rare adverse events that were not identified during pre-licensure clinical trials. The 3 systems are:

• The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)–an early warning public health system that helps CDC and FDA detect possible side effects or adverse events following vaccination.
• The Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) – collaboration between CDC and several health care organizations which monitors and evaluates adverse events following vaccination.
• The Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) Network – collaboration between CDC and medical research centers in the U.S. which conduct research on adverse events that might be caused by vaccines.

VAERS relies on voluntary data reporting. Even the CDC acknowledges that adverse events may be 10 to as much 100 times the number actually reported.

The CDC claims,

“These vaccine safety studies continue to show that HPV vaccines are safe.”

A simple analysis of the VAERS database alone does not support the CDC’s claims. The chart below illustrates adverse events reported after Gardasil and Cervarix compared against reports after the 13 other vaccines recommended for ages 7-18, for the period of time HPV vaccines have been on the market. Why do HPV vaccines appear to be vastly over represented in the adverse events database?

Does this not indicate some sort of safety signal?

HPV Vaccines: No Safety Signal?

We discussed above the three side effects reported after pap smears, none of which are life threatening. Compare them to the following list of new medical conditions reported to VAERS after HPV vaccines:

Abortion/Stillbirth/Miscarriage, Addison’s Disease, Adrenal failure/problems, Allergies, Anxiety/Panic attacks, Appetite loss, Arthritis, Asthma attacks, Autistic–like symptoms, Autoimmune Disease (Lupus/Mixed Connective Tissue Disease), Back pain, Bacterial Vaginosis, Bladder issues, Bleeding gums, Blindness, Bloating, Blood Sugar Issues, Bloody stools, Brain fog, Brain Inflammation, Brain lesions, Bronchitis, Cervical cancer, Chemical sensitivity, Chest pains, Convulsions, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Constipation, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Death, Degenerative disk disease, Dehydration, Depression, Diabetes, Diarrhea, Dizziness, Dyslexia, Dysplasia, Early Onset of Menopause, Enlarged fallopian tubes, Enlarged liver, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Extreme pain in the tailbone area, Fainting, Fatigue, Fertility problems, Fever, Fever blisters, Fibromyalgia, Food allergies, Gallbladder issues, Genital Warts, Gray film on teeth, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Hair growth in strange places, Hair loss, Hallucinations, Hand/Leg Weakness, Hashimoto’s Disease, Head pressure, Headache, Hearing loss (Temporary/Permanent), Hearing sensitivity, Heart Palpitations, Heart arrhythmia, High levels of metals in blood: aluminium, mercury, Hot/Cold Intolerance, HPV, Infertility, Insomnia, Itching, IUD discomfort, Joint pain, Kidney Failure, Kidney issues, Knee pain, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Light sensitivity, Lip spots, Liver Failure, Loss of bladder control, Lupus, Memory Loss (short-term/long-term), Menstrual cycle changes, Metallic taste in mouth, Migraines, Miscarriage, Mood Swings, Moles, Mononucleosis, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), MS-like symptoms, Muscle aches, Muscle spasms, Muscle tension, Nausea, Neurological reactions to fungal metabolites, Neurological symptoms , Night sweats, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Numbness, Other types of cancer, Ovarian failure, Paleness, Paralysis, Pancreatitis, PCOS (Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome), Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Pelvic pain, Personality changes, Pins/Needles in Extremities, Pleural effusion, Pneumonia, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (Orthostatic Intolerance), Random twitching of extremities Rash, Reynaud’s Phenomenon (loss of blood circulation to hands and/or feet), Regression, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ruptured ovarian cysts, Seizures, Sensitivity to commercially processed citric acid, MSG, sulfur and other additives, Severe nerve pain syndrome, Shortness of breath, Sleep Apnea, Slurred speech, Smell sensitivity, Sore throat, Sound sensitivity w/Anxiety, Stomach ache, Stomach pain, Sudden drops in blood pressure, Swelling/Edema, Swollen lymph nodes, Thyroid Issues, Thrombosis Toothaches/Teeth Changes, Tremors: hand and/or leg, Uterine spasms, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Vision loss (Temporary/permanent), Vision Problems – abnormal pupillary function/dilation, Vomiting blood, Weight gain or loss (20 – 30 lbs)

Keep in mind, a report to the VAERS system does not mean the symptoms were caused by the vaccine administered before the new medical condition appeared. A report to the VAERS does not mean the new medical condition is NOT causally associated with the vaccine either. VAERS is simply an ‘early warning’ system. It is up to the CDC and FDA to examine the reports to determine whether or not a safety signal exists.

Any reasonable person looking at the data would struggle to understand how the CDC can recommend the addition of HPV vaccines to the cervical cancer prevention protocol when there is such disparity between potential adverse events?

Any reasonable person would wonder how the CDC can recommend HPV vaccines as a good strategy for cancer prevention when pap smears have already reduced the cervical cancer rates so significantly without all of these potential risks, not to mention at a much lower cost to individuals and society?

Let’s examine the CDC’s mission statement

According to their website:

“For over 60 years, CDC has been dedicated to protecting health and promoting quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury, and disability. We are committed to programs that reduce the health and economic consequences of the leading causes of death and disability, thereby ensuring a long, productive, healthy life for all people.”

CDC claims they have the following Core Values (in their own words):

• Accountability — as diligent stewards of public trust and public funds, we act decisively and compassionately in service to the people’s health. We ensure that our research and our services are based on sound science and meet real public needs to achieve our public health goals.
• Respect — we respect and understand our interdependence with all people, both inside the agency and throughout the world, treating them and their contributions with dignity and valuing individual and cultural diversity. We are committed to achieving a diverse workforce at all levels of the organization.
• Integrity — we are honest and ethical in all we do. We will do what we say. We prize scientific integrity and professional excellence.

Is the CDC living up to its mission statement?

CDC officials know continued pap screening is recommended by both HPV vaccine manufacturers, despite vaccination status because there are high-risk HPV genotypes not targeted by either Gardasil or Cervarix.

The CDC knows there are no reported deaths or permanent injuries reported after pap smears.

The CDC officials know or should know all of the facts outlined above.

Medical consumers need to ask themselves:

 

Has the CDC abandoned its mission in an effort to promote potentially dangerous vaccines of questionable benefit?

SANEVAX GARDASIL VACCINE VICTIM OF THE WEEK!

Before you become a victim, investigate before you vaccinate. The life you save may be your child's.

Victim of Gardasil Vaccine: Naomi from Australia

Naomi from Australia

July 31, 2011 By admin 5 Comments

Naomi, Australia: Prior to Gardasil, Naomi was a happy, healthy 25 year old completing her Bachelor’s degree while working full-time in administration. She was about to embark on a Post Graduate Degree in Journalism. Despite being kept busy by work and study, she found the time to go out with friends and dance at their favorite club almost every weekend.
During 2008 and 2009, Naomi’s health mysteriously began to deteriorate into a myriad of inexplicable symptoms including dizziness, nausea, joint pain, a collapsing knee, loss of balance, chronic fatigue and weakness.
Even though she visited a multitude of health professionals, including both general practitioners and specialists, who performed a broad range of tests; no one was able to say what was wrong with her.
Tests confirmed an autoimmune reaction and an MRI showed some demyelination in Naomi’s brain similar to that experienced by MS patients. However, nothing was definitive. She was given pain killers and steroids, but no real explanation.

Just prior to Christmas in 2009, Naomi by chance read an article in the newspaper about a possible link between Gardasil and multiple sclerosis.
She collected her medical file and created a timeline. It showed that her symptoms had begun within weeks of receiving her first vaccination. The onset of the worst symptoms coincided with the receipt of her last vaccination. Immediately, she began to research on the internet. What she discovered was a plethora of other girls with stories just like hers.
Fourteen months after her last vaccination, Naomi is still on steroids. She was forced to discontinue her post graduate studies. She is unable to work full time and sometimes unable to work at all. Naomi still experiences daily symptoms including chronic fatigue and some neurological difficulties.
Despite maintaining a brave face throughout the Gardasil ordeal, Naomi feels like a shadow of who she once was or, could have been.
Naomi created this video, based on her experiences. She would like anyone who is considering an HPV vaccine to watch her video first. You can access it through the following link:

Shaw and Tomljenovich: Estimates of HPV Vaccine Safety and Efficacy

August 1, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

[SaneVax: Christopher Shaw and Lucija Tomljenovic have once again hit the nail on the head when it comes to revealing the truth behind HPV vaccination policies and practices. In a recent letter to the editor of the American Journal of Public Health, they disclose that when comparing the adverse events reported after Gardasil to all other vaccines in the targeted age group, Gardasil alone is associated with over 60% of all serious adverse reactions in the VAERS database, including over 80% of all permanent disabilities. As a parent, are you willing to have your daughter risk permanent disability or death to take a vaccine that has not been proven to prevent a single case of cervical cancer?]

Abstract

We read with great interest the analysis by Mello et al.(1) on how Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck) influenced state human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination policymaking. The exclusive reliance on Merck for scientific information on behalf of the legislators is unfortunate, especially in the light of independent research which has repeatedly warned that drug companies may manipulate clinical trial designs and subsequent data analysis and reporting to make their drugs look better and safer.(2-4) Indeed, careful scrutiny of Gardasil clinical trials shows that their design, as well as data reporting and interpretation, were largely inadequate.(4-6) (Am J Public Health.

The Refusers: Vaccine Protest Music Gone Viral

By Norma Erickson, President

Your Right

The first public performance of a now quite controversial rock band was in July 2010 at the American Rally for Personal Rights. In the tradition of protest songs during civil rights and anti-war movements, The Refusers presented their protest music as a tribute to vaccine-injury victims past, present and future.

Michael Belkin and his band use a unique musical style they have dubbed ‘Innoc-You-Rock’ to focus listeners’ attention on controversial vaccine issues. Their hard-hitting lyrics provide a direct counterpoint to what they see as “government issued vaccine propaganda and the current medical establishment’s policy of vaccinate first, ask questions later.”

The Refusers’ name was chosen in direct response to the American Medical Association’s position on informed consent, which says:

“Your patient should have an opportunity to ask questions to elicit a better understanding of the treatment or procedure, so that he or she can make an informed decision to proceed or to refuse a particular course of medical intervention.”

Michael Belkin categorically states, “The AMA’s position on informed consent does not say ‘except vaccines.’ Vaccination choice is a fundamental human right. Any doctor who fails to inform you about the risks associated with vaccines, or who contends you do not have the right to refuse vaccination is violating their own medical code of ethics.”

What motivated Mr. Belkin to organize his vaccination protest band?

Flashback fourteen years: Michael is a successful, self-employed quantitative strategist happily married to the woman of his dreams. Lyla Rose was born with no complications – a healthy, happy baby girl. At five weeks of age, she is taken for a check-up and a booster shot of Hepatitis B vaccine. 15 hours later, Michael’s baby girl was gone.

Michael states that although the coroner initially stated Lyla’s brain was swollen (encephalitis), the cause of death ultimately ruled as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The swollen brain and the hepatitis B vaccine were not mentioned in the final autopsy report.

Knowing that SIDS is a diagnosis of exclusion and brain inflammation is not SIDS, Michael’s research began. He discovered the following quote from Merck’s Home Health Manual:

Encephalitis can occur in the following ways:

• A virus directly infects the brain.
• A virus that caused an infection in the past becomes reactivated and directly damages the brain.
• A virus or vaccine triggers a reaction that makes the immune system attack brain tissue (an autoimmune reaction).

Michael found himself attending any applicable government meeting he could. He attended a workshop at the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine on “Neo-Natal Death and the Hepatitis B Vaccine” and an Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting on the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine. He obtained the entire VAERS database on hepatitis B adverse events reports and investigated it thoroughly.

In May of 1999, seven months after the tragic loss of his daughter, Michael Belkin presented the following testimony to Congress:

Michael continues to work within the system to promote vaccine safety and preserve the right to vaccine choice for many years. Although he experiences some small successes, Michael ultimately gets to the point where he feels he is beating his head against a brick wall. Those in charge of vaccination rules, regulations and policy-making just do not seem to care. Tired and wanting to return to a somewhat normal life, Michael takes some time off from vaccine safety and consent issues.

During his respite, he witnesses the development and marketing of several additional vaccines. He watches the autism rate climb to a previously unheard of level. He witnesses a substantial increase in the size of the VAERS database. He witnesses the increase in chronic and debilitating diseases in young people throughout the United States.

Michael went on to have two healthy unvaccinated children. He witnessed apartheid-like exclusionary policies being instituted against children whose parents chose to try and preserve their health and well-being. He witnessed people losing their jobs because they decided one vaccine or another was not in their best interest. He witnessed schools, daycares, and even medical professionals exclude people based on their vaccination status.

Michael Belkin decided enough was enough. The only option left was to take his message to the streets via a medium that might catch the attention of the average American medical consumer. Michael, his 11-year old unvaccinated son Sebastian, Steve Newton and Joey Walbaum decided to use their musical talents organize a protest band that would publicly stand up for everyone’s right to refuse vaccination.

The Refusers take great pride in their young drummer, Sebastian Belkin – a real deal healthy refuser – and visible proof that the unvaccinated are not the threat to public health and safety they are being portrayed as. Sebastian is the epitome of a normal healthy young man, not to mention talented.

Their strategy appears to be working. The Refusers first video, shown below, has officially gone viral with over 280,000 views. First Do No Harm, is also the title cut of the band’s soon to be released CD.

Michael Belkin and The Refusers have obviously found an effective way to get their message to those who need to hear it.

Post-Gardasil Syndrome: Raquel from Spain three years later

Post-Gardasil Syndrome: Raquel from Spain three years later

By Norma Erickson, President

Gardasil: Safe, Affordable, Necessary and Effective is not too much to ask for.

The traditional media seems to overlook the fact that all of the victims of severe adverse reactions after HPV vaccines were originally trusting medical consumers who were simply following their doctor’s advice. They listened to the professionals when told that Gardsil or Cervarix vaccines could save their daughters from being a victim of cervical cancer. They were certainly not anti-vaccine, or they would not be in the position they are in now. This is the story of one of those families.

February 2009, at 14 years of age, Raquel received her second injection of Gardasil. A few hours later she was in a coma battling for her life. See her original story here.

It’s been over three years since Raquel suffered severe adverse effects after the second dose of Gardasil. She and her family suffered for two years wondering if they would ever see an end to her illness.

Now, they would like to let everyone who has been battling similar events that
Raquel is recovered! All of her neurological exams are now normal. She has not yet been discharged from hospital visits, but she leads a normal life.

With great effort she has completed her studies. Much to her credit, she has decided to continue school next year to become a nurse. Raquel wants to dedicate her life to healing others who have suffered like her.

Raquel’s parents have been beside her every step of the way during her long and arduous recovery. They believe all experiences in life, even very harmful, help us to find our way. They believe Raquel’s illness helped her find her vocation.

Raquel realizes that she is a lucky young woman. She could have been confined to a wheelchair indefinitely, but is not. With the assistance of doctors who attended her and the unconditional support of her family, she has overcome her illness.

Perhaps the most difficult thing for her parents to overcome was the helplessness of seeing how Health Authorities and some doctors wanted to dismiss her side effects to the vaccine as psychological, incidental, or coincidence.

Raquel and her family relied on Health Authorities when they decided to take the vaccine. To them, it is incredible and incomprehensible that the Health Authorities did not care about Raquel´s health after she suffered what was obviously an adverse reaction to the vaccine.

They now know their daughter will have a bright and happy future. They also know it could have very easily not turned out so well. They count themselves among the lucky ones.

Are Raquel’s parents vaccine safety advocates? You bet they are! They now dedicate a substantial amount of time and effort in an attempt to make sure what happened to their daughter never happens to another child. They encourage parents to do their research before they decide whether or not a vaccine is right for their children. They do not want anyone else to have to go through the horrors their family did for the last three years.

Raquel’s mother has a personal message to other vaccine-injury victims:

“I would like to tell all young people concerned to be patient. As long as there is life, never give up. If a treatment is not working, try something else. There are medical professionals out there who care about your health. I wish you strength and hope.”

New Study: HPV Vaccine and Evidence of Herd Immunity or Type Replacement?

By Norma Erickson, President

 

HPV Vaccine: Herd Immunity?

 

Medical professionals rely on studies published in medical journals to keep abreast of new developments in their field. What happens when published studies raise more questions than answers? Where does that leave trusting medical consumers?

On July 12, 2012, Australia became the first country in the world to formally offer taxpayer sponsored HPV vaccines to their young men. HPV vaccines have been advertised as ‘cervical cancer’ vaccines. Boys obviously do not have a cervix, so how do you ‘sell’ males on the idea of a three shot series of the most expensive vaccine on the market?

Miracle of miracles – almost immediately press reports begin to come in from around the world about a new study that supposedly demonstrates evidence of HPV vaccinations providing protection to the unvaccinated population. What an outstanding way to convince boys it is their duty to protect those around them.

Unfortunately, none of the articles reporting this ‘miraculous’ development provide a link to the actual study so a person can check for themselves. So much for responsible journalism!

“Vaccine-Type Human Papillomavirus and Evidence of Herd Protection After Vaccine Introduction,” by Jessica A. Kahn, MD, MPH, et al., was accepted for publication in April 2012 by the medical journal Pediatrics, but will not be formally published until August.¹

Historically, academic ‘experts’ paid directly or indirectly by the industry have cherry-picked populations with a high prevalence rate of HPV infections or cervical cancer to generate a set of data. They extrapolate the ‘scientific’ data obtained from irrelevant populations to promote a vaccine with questionable value or an analytically inaccurate HPV test for use in the general population.

In 2001, a group of employees of the National Cancer Institute, a major patent holder and financial beneficiary of HPV vaccines, did just that when they used a population with an extremely high cervical cancer rate in a subpopulation of Costa Rica during development of the HPV ‘cancer’ vaccine and an HPV test for cervical cancer screening.² Then they helped expedite approval of HPV vaccines and an inaccurate HPV test through the Food and Drug Administration to be used in populations with little threat of cervical cancer progression.

In their most recent study, Jessica A. Kahn and her coauthors have done the same thing by using a cherry-picked subset of African American women with an extremely high rate (68.3%) of HPV infection for a statistical analysis to justify wide spread implementation of the HPV vaccination policy through so called “herd protection.” The authors conveniently ignore the fact that most American women under the care of gynecologists in private practice have a less than 10% HPV infection rate even when the most sensitive nested PCR amplification is used for detection. They also ignore the fact that African American women usually carry different strains of HPV viruses than women from other ethnic backgrounds.³

It is well known that test results obtained in a population with high disease prevalence rates cannot be extrapolated to a population with a low prevalence of the disease. These authors knowingly misapply their statistical data to support this “herd protection” hypothesis as if HPV infection had become a contagious disease like influenza in the classrooms of all high schools throughout the world.

It is unfortunate that their opinion, supported by public funding, is published in the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics as a continued medical education material to influence the practice of the pediatricians, policy-makers and health authorities.

This is particularly true when a careful reading of Khan et al.’s article reveals the following points:

1. Vaccine-type HPV infections reportedly decreased by 21.9% in vaccinated participants; but vaccine-type HPV infections also showed a decrease of 14.8% in the unvaccinated group when compared to the data from 2006-07. These changes are especially remarkable given that many participants were sexually experienced, presumably exposed to HPV, and only 1 HPV vaccine dose was required to be considered “vaccinated” in this analysis.
2. The authors should know there are 3 subtypes of HPV-18, namely the European, the Asian-American and the African subtypes.⁴ In the U.S., 91% of the HPV-18 isolates from white women are reported to be of the European and Asian-American variants, and 64% of the HPV-18 isolates from African American women belong to the African variants.⁵ The production of the Gardasil^® HPV-18 VLPs uses the HPV L1 gene from the SW756 cell line⁶ which carries an African subtype of HPV-18.⁴ Therefore, any “herd protection,” even if conveyed to a subset of African American women by Gardasil^® vaccination, cannot be automatically extrapolated to other races or ethnicities.
3. Why do the authors of the study consider one shot of Gardasil^® to give the participants vaccinated status when the recommended dose is a series of three injections? If one shot is enough, is three too many?
4. The study utilized the Roche Linear Array for HPV typing. According to World Health Organization documentation, only 8 of 17 datasets in a worldwide survey using the Roche Linear Array assay reported a 100% proficiency result in HPV genotyping.^{7 (table 2)} In 7 of the 17 testing sets, false positive HPV types were detected by the Roche Linear Array assay.^{7 (table 3)} This information brings the entire study into question.
5. The authors of the study state, “the overall HPV prevalence increased “modestly” between the two studies.” How can this happen if the vaccine provides herd immunity?

Consider the following data taken from the soon to be published article regarding this ‘modest’ overall increase in HPV infections. This chart is a representation of HPV prevalence changes discovered when the post-vaccination surveillance group of 2009-10 was compared to the pre-vaccination surveillance data from 2006-07:

HPV	All	Vaccinated	Non-vaccinated
Any Type	8.5% increase	9.0% increase	1.8% increase
High Risk Type	1.1% increase	5.2% increase	7.5% reduction
Vaccine Type (16/18/11/6)	18.3% reduction	21.9% reduction	14.8% reduction
High Risk Vaccine Type	14.2% reduction	17.8% reduction	12.0% reduction
Non-Vaccine Type	14.0% increase	15.2% increase	7.6% increase
Non-Vaccine High Risk Type	7.6% increase	13.6% increase	2.7% reduction

Why was there no statistically significant change in HPV infection rates among the unvaccinated participants? Does this mean that other types of HPV are taking over the role of the vaccine-suppressed HPV types in the vaccinated? If so, will the other types become more dangerous than the suppressed ones?

Does this mean the manufacturer targeted the wrong types of HPV for this population? Or, does it simply mean the vaccine doesn’t work?

Does this article provide evidence of herd immunity or potentially dangerous HPV mutation/type replacement?

Is this simply another example of the quality one can expect from industry sponsored ‘scientific studies’ destined to be blindly accepted and widely quoted to influence worldwide health policies?

This study raised far more questions than it answered. Medical consumers deserve better.

Mother of Injured Gardasil Girl Demands
Gardasil’s ‘New Medical Conditions’ Be Legitimized as
Post-Gardasil Syndrome (PGS) & Post-Cervarix Syndrome (PCS)

By Leslie Carol Botha, Vice President of Public Relations
November 29, 2011

One would think the world is facing a cervical cancer epidemic with the amount of money being exchanged and laws changed to make sure the potentially dangerous HPV vaccines and the rDNA contaminated Gardasil become front and center in global consumer markets. One must also be starting to question the hidden agendas behind this world-wide vaccination program.

Kind of slick and sly for the global media to announce on the U.S. Thanksgiving Day that Gardasil will make its debut in the UK by September 2012. Merck’s marketing department shows no thoughtfulness or integrity towards the parents of dead and injured Gardasil children to break this news on a traditional holiday with damaged families trying to count their blessings while battling the feelings of anger, frustration, betrayal, and powerlessness they now live with daily.

Updated VAERS Data

According to SANE Vax Inc. VAERS Researcher, Janny Stokvis, there has been another increase in adverse injuries and deaths from the HPV vaccines since the last report issued in August.

ONE MORE GIRL

VAERS ID 437735 shows that on July 6, 2011, an 18 year old girl from Massachusetts died 84 days after receiving two shots of Gardasil:

Relapse of ITP: 18 year-old female with immune thrombocytopenic purpura, diagnosed in 1995 and in remission from 2004 to 2011 following treatment with Rituximab. Relapse in early April, 2011, followed administration of Gardasil vaccine on 10-26-10 and 1-7-11. Relapse of ITP led eventually to death from intracranial hemorrhage on 07/06/2011.

According to MedScape Reference: “Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a clinical syndrome in which a decreased number of circulating platelets (thrombocytopenia) manifests as a bleeding tendency, easy bruising (purpura), or extravasation of blood from capillaries into skin and mucous membranes (petechiae).” 1.
VAERS reports that the parents noted the petechiae event sometime in April, however, when tested, the girl’s lab diagnostics showed that the blood work was within normal range:

CBC on 04/26/2011 included platelet count 5000; WBC 5.4 with normal differential, Hgb 12.8, Hct 37.2, MCV 87.9; normal RBC morphology. 2.

SANE Vax Inc. is demanding an investigation into the death of an already immune-comprised teen girl who received Gardasil when the safety and efficacy data is based on clinical trials on healthy girls.3. What was the mechanism of action that caused her death from an intracranial hemorrhage?

HPV Vaccines – More than Double Vaccine Reactions than all other Recommended Vaccinations

In August, Steven Rubin posted disturbing data in VAERS showing that for the ‘CDC-recommended vaccines for 7-18-year-olds, HPV vaccine injuries were greater than others in that group.’ Rubin compiled the data below for the two age groups 0 – 6 and 7 – 18 showing the approximate numbers of reported adverse injuries from only the recommended vaccines for that age group.





Rubin notes “…..children age 0-6 years are reporting the most VAERS events following a DTP vaccination. Children ages 7-18 years are significantly affected by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Note that HPV is already associated with over 100 deaths, and is not limited to girls (there are three reports of boys who have died following an HPV vaccination). This is not the most widely given vaccination for 7-18 year olds, but it appears frequently in VAERS and is associated with serious adverse effects.4.

Gardasil Victim’s Mother Demands Naming Gardasil ‘New Medical Conditions’

Deanna Martinez, mother of Shelby, age 17; who Martinez calls a “Gardasil Victim because she suffers from adverse reactions to this killer drug every day,” had her first and only Gardasil shot on March 31, 2011 and has been ill ever since. Martinez contacted Norma Erickson, President of SANE Vax Inc. via email to express her frustration and concerns that the Gardasil children are afflicted with a ‘nameless condition,’ instead of an official primary diagnosis. She wrote:

“Of course, there is the familiar and vague ‘adverse reaction to the Gardasil vaccine’ or worse ‘possible adverse reaction to the Gardasil vaccine’ or ‘condition of unknown etiology’ which no one understands and few believe in. There are other diagnoses for conditions that result from the adverse reaction to Gardasil — Lupus, neuropathy, migraines, chronic fatigue…of unknown etiology-you know that the endless list goes on and on. However, these are all SECONDARY conditions and diagnoses!

“In order for our children’s illnesses to be legitimized and ultimately a cure or treatment to be found we must have an official primary diagnosis. And that primary diagnosis must officially and directly be tied to the Gardasil injection. It MUST have a name! Furthermore, a treatment protocol must be designed. We must no longer settle for a nameless condition with no standard of treatment.

“I am sure that at different times we all call our kids’ illness different names. I believe that it makes their illness less believable, even and sometimes especially, for them. It makes their voices smaller. It makes their lives harder. It sends the wrong message to the world. It does not further their cause.

“Just think, if your child had Diabetes would you tell people that they had an adverse reaction to sugar? If your child had asthma would you just say they had an adverse reaction to allergens in the air? We need to name our kids’ illness.

“Because we have already had to do so much of the research and treatment and lifesaving for our children on our own, let’s not wait for the medical community, the drug company or the government to come up with an official diagnosis name. Let’s determine a name for their condition on our own! Let’s all call it one condition. Let’s use it in our daily lives with our child, our doctors, our family and friends, in our correspondence, on our websites, in our emails, everywhere. Let’s give our kids some power back by legitimizing their illness. Let’s get the word out that our kids really are sick and their sickness has a name-it’s legitimate!”


SANE Vax Inc. agrees with Martinez’s astute observations – and we support her demand that adverse reactions from the HPV vaccines not only be named but used universally by medical consumers, educators, researchers, medical professionals, government health agencies, politicians and the media.
SANE Vax Inc. is announcing from this time forward adverse reactions from Merck’s HPV 4 Gardasil now be known as Post-Gardasil Syndrome (PGS) and GlaxoSmithKline’s HPV 2 Cervarix be known as Post-Cervarix Syndrome (PCS).

PGS & PCS will be applied to the reported adverse conditions from the HPV vaccines whose symptoms include but are not limited to the following conditions:

Post Gardasil Syndrome & Post-Cervarix Syndrome
Adverse Reactions



Parents and advocates around the world are uniting to stop this global vaccine program threatening the lives and health of their adolescent children. If you know of someone who already suffers from PGS or PCS, please have them contact SANE Vax Inc. at info@sanevax.org. Governments of the world need to know medical consumers are now demanding safe, affordable, effective and necessary vaccinations. Gardasil does not meet any of the above requirements. Governments of the world must also be held accountable for damaging the health and well being of the children of their constituents.

Gardasil Victim's Mom Speaks About Vaccine Injury: SANEVAX Vaccine Injury Victim Support Line

When vaccine injury occurs and our medical community fails to recognize or diagnose the injury, mothers all over the world turn to SANEVAX, INC. for support. Our victim support line is a lifeline to mothers of the victims of Gardasil and other vaccines. One mother tells her experience regarding the support she received in this very frightening time in her life.

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 30, 2011 - As the mother of a girl who has suffered injury due to the Gardasil, the HPV vaccine, I know first hand how important the Victims Hotline at SANEVAX.ORG is. We live in a small city in Wyoming with limited medical resources. When my daughter became ill in March of 2011, the medical community in our community was unable and unwilling to treat her. I was advised by our pediatrician that nothing could be done for my daughter and that I should take her home and ‘wait and see’ and ‘hope for the best.’

But I knew in my heart that was not what we should do. I knew that it simply was not enough. So, I searched online and found SANEVAX and the Victim’s Hotline . I contacted several of the names on the hotline via email. I received immediate responses from them. Many of the volunteers were mothers of Gardasil victims. The information the volunteers shared with me was invaluable and it helped save my daughter’s life. The hotline volunteers shared contact information for medical practitioners, and alternative practitioners with experience in treating Gardasil victims. I was also provided practical information about other therapies victim used with success.

At the time, I was desperate, frustrated, angry, confused and scared but the support and information I received from the hotline volunteers gave me real hope that my daughter would recover. I will never be able to thank the Hotline volunteers enough for their willingness to help, to listen, and most of all, to share what they knew from their own personal experiences. My daughter’s condition is much improved, due in large part, to the information and support I received from the hotline. I am eternally grateful to them.

According to VAERS (the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), as of August 2011, there were 23,388 victims reporting injuries resulting from the Gardasil vaccine This number includes both male and female victims, although female victims currently outnumber male victims. It is believed that the incidence of injury is widely under-reported to due to misinformation and that the actual number of victims is much higher than current statistics reflect.

Despite the alarming number of reported injuries related to the Gardasil vaccine, the vaccine continues to be administered to both boys and girls ages 9 to 26 across the nation and it may soon be a required vaccination in many states. Those who have been injured by Gardasil continue to suffer its devastating effects and more children are vaccinated and become victims every day. All of these victims and their families are searching for information and support that is not easily found in the medical community or in their circles of friends and family. Consequently, the need for Hotline Volunteers is tremendous.

The Hotline is a valuable resource for parents and victims to use to talk to others in their home state, across the nation, and around the world regarding their child’s injury resulting from Gardasil. Hotline Volunteers are most often parents of victims, a concerned person or relative close to a victim of Gardasil, or sometimes a Gardasil victim. Volunteers have a thorough understanding of Gardasil Vaccine Injury. Hotline Volunteers do not offer medical advice at any time to anyone. However, contact information for medical practitioners, alternative medicine practitioners, and an abundance of useful information is offered free of charge. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Hotline Volunteers can provide emotional support to victims and their families.

As a result of the recent media coverage of the political debates and the mention of the controversy surrounding Gardasil, we anticipate the possibility of more victims of Gardasil coming forward in the coming months. It is the goal of the Sane Vax Hotline to offer those victims and their families support and provide them with helpful information. We currently have volunteers in fifteen states and hope to have at least one Hotline Volunteer in every state soon. Sane Vax also has Hotline Volunteers in thirteen countries around the world.

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a Hotline Volunteer, please send an email to sanevax@charter.net, and enter “VACCINE HOTLINE” in the email’s subject line. Please go to SANEVAX for more information on injuries resulting from Gardasil and how you can help.

Black Monday for Gardasil

Michele Bachmann states ‘Vaccine is not without Peril’ -
CNN’s Elizabeth Cohen Reacts with HPV Vaccine Damage Control -
Merck Plays Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing with Susan G. Komen Foundation

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 14, 2011 – When the Monday night CNN / Tea Party Express Republican candidates’ presidential debate turned to the constitutionality of healthcare mandates, Representative Bachmann voiced her opinion as the mother of three daughters and the foster mother for 23 other foster girls when she stated: ‘To have innocent little 12-year old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat out wrong. That’s a violation of a liberty interest.’

On Tuesday morning, Bachmann was interviewed on CNN’s American Morning and shared that a mother approached her after the debate and spoke about the very serious consequences her daughter experienced after getting Gardasil.

Bachmann is speaking for millions of parents who believe that mandating a government injection is wrong. She also spoke about the pressure placed on families by doctors and educators even if there is an ‘opt-out’ clause. According to Bachmann ‘Little girls who have a negative reaction to this potentially dangerous drug don’t get a mulligan. They don’t get a do-over. The parents don’t get a do-over.’ 1

Bachmann also blasted Texas Governor Rick Perry with the question that the parent of every adversely injured child is asking ‘is this [vaccine] about life or millions of dollars?’

Everyone by now knows that Perry retorted that Merck’s political action committee gave his campaign $5,000.

In what year was that Governor Perry? It appears the Merck has donated over $25,000 over the course of Perry’s career: $1,000 in 2000; $5,000 in 2002; $10,000 in 2004; $1,000 in 2005; $5,000 in 2006; $2,500 in 2008 and $5,000 in 2010.1

The figure is actually very low for a state as large as Texas….could it be that donations are being funneled from elsewhere – say from a relatively new biotechnological company in Texas? The comment below was posted to an article written by Ed Silverman of Pharmalot fame titled: “Rick Perry And The Gardasil Controversy, Take Two”

‘Interesting to note that a company in Texas with which Rick Perry has a connection with is Gradalis Inc. Move the letters around and it spells Gardasil. In May 2010, Perry’s office gave $3 million to fund G-Con, another Texas Pharma, owned 10% by Gradalis, Inc. The executives of G-Con and the CEO of Gradalis have all given substantial thousands to Perry’s campaign. It was rumored back in 2007 that Perry made a lot of people wealthy, including his family, by mandating the Gardasil vaccine in the State of Texas. If there is government involvement, there is no free market.’2

Gradalis Inc. is a fully integrated biotechnological company in Dallas Texas that focuses on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of drugs, vaccines, tools and diagnostics, primarily in the area of cancer.3 Gradalis? Gardasil? Hmm…

Damage Control at CNN

Meanwhile, back at CNN Elizabeth Cohen did multiple interviews with the station’s news anchors on the HPV vaccine – it was obvious her job for the day was to emphatically state in every way she could that the HPV vaccines are safe – and any adverse injuries reported from Gardasil including paralysis are ‘coincidental.’ Might one ask how much Merck spends on advertising on CNN –or, the other major media networks, for that matter?4

National media outlets are now quick to jump on the bandwagon as doctors and public health leaders speak out to correct misinformation regarding the safety of HPV vaccines that prevent cervical cancer after Bachmann attacked the vaccines as “dangerous” when she related her conversation with the mother of an adversely injured girl mother who blames the shots for her daughter’s mental retardation.

But, there’s no evidence that the HPV shot — or any other vaccine — causes retardation, says O. Marion Burton, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics.5

Mental retardation is the wrong term – the correct term is ‘brain damage’ from the neurotoxins in the vaccine crossing the blood-brain barrier affecting the endocrine and autoimmune systems.

Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Merck & Co’s marketing department timing couldn’t have been much worse with their BusinessWire press release Tuesday announcing a new partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. ‘Merck Partners with Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R) on Historic Initiative to Help Address Cervical and Breast Cancer in Developing Nations,’ seemed to do little except cast further doubt on the integrity of the pharmaceutical giant.6

The big bad wolf is hiding once again in sheep’s clothing while portraying their humanitarian interest in partnering with the foundation to disseminate breast and cervical cancer information to women in Africa. According to the release Merck will be contributing ‘$3 million over three years to the Pink Ribbon–Red Ribbon initiative to help address both cervical and breast cancer in sub-Saharan African nations by supporting disease education, screening and treatment efforts as well as increased access to cervical cancer vaccination.”

After one gets over the initial ‘Awww ain’t that nice…’ it becomes pretty clear that Merck is using the foundation to develop new markets for their vaccine in countries where no adequate vaccine injury tracking systems exist, not to mention cervical screening.

Women who supported the Komen Foundation are already speaking out on Facebook. One woman writes: ‘This absolutely disgusts me! My grandmother struggled with breast cancer for years. All contributions from her funeral were donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. How dare these money hungry drug lords attempt to conceal their cruel and merciless intentions by allying with such a wonderful foundation. Completely sickening.’

SANE Vax Inc. agrees with Bachmann when she stated in another interview with CNN after the debate that Perry’s admission that he could have done things differently didn’t change the situation.

“It’s not enough to say, ‘I’m sorry. I was wrong.’ You have to get it right the first time,” Bachmann said.

It is time for medical consumers to be aware that Merck, the FDA, and CDC did not get the HPV vaccine right the first time. The adverse injuries and deaths to innocent previously healthy adolescents took one time…..one decision to get the vaccine series….. and for them there is no turning back either.

We can only move forward now that Bachmann has opened the door and exposed the ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing.’ It is time for their reckoning.

SANE Vax to FDA: Recombinant HPV DNA found in multiple samples of Gardasil

September 2, 2011


http://sanevax.org/sane-vax-to-fda-recombinant-hpv-dna-found-in-multiple-samples-of-gardasil/



The Honorable Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner August 29, 2011
U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
10903 New Hampshire Ave.
Silver Spring MD 20993-0002
Dear Dr. Hamburg:

At the request of medical consumers concerned about HPV vaccine safety and efficacy, SANE Vax Inc. has retained a private laboratory to test a number of samples of HPV 4 Gardasil™ (Merck) for possible contamination by human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in the vaccine lots distributed to physicians.

The laboratory has informed SANE Vax Inc. that one hundred percent of thirteen (13) samples of Gardasil™ taken from lots #1437Z, #1511Z, # 0553AA, #NL35360, #NP23400, #NN33070, #NL01490, #NM25110, #NL39620, #NK16180, #NK00140, #NM08120 and #NL13560, currently being marketed in the U.S.A., Australia, New Zealand, Spain, France, and Poland have been found to be positive for HPV DNA.

One of the HPV DNA fragments detected in the vaccine is part of a synthetic construct (GenBank Locus SCU55993) for HPV11 major capsid protein L1 gene, a recombinant DNA genetically engineered specifically for manufacturing of the Gardasil vaccine. Its unique sequence is copied below for your reference.



Because one hundred percent of the samples tested were positive for HPV DNA contamination, SANE Vax Inc. requests the FDA investigate the extent of the HPV DNA contamination in the Gardasil HPV4 vaccine currently on the market and take appropriate actions to ensure public safety regarding future shipments.

The SANE Vax Inc. data, including the electropherograms of short target sequencing used to validate the HPV DNA detected in the thirteen (13) Gardasil samples, each with a different lot number, are available for your review, provided appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the proprietary processes and information utilized by our laboratory to test the samples.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Respectfully,
Norma Erickson, President SANE Vax Inc.

SANE Vax Inc. Celebrates 1st Anniversary with New Web Site Launch

Safe, Affordable, Necessary and Effective vaccines message captures global attention

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 15, 2011 - SANE Vax Inc. was incorporated in August of 2010, to raise awareness of the science and research behind growing concerns regarding vaccine safety and efficacy. One year later – the SANE Vax message and the research we have compiled has gone global and shared with educators, medical and legal professionals, researchers, journalists and medical consumers world-wide.

To date visitors from 110 countries have visited the web site. Map below can be found on the new SANE Vax site http://sanevax.org under ‘Who’s Online.’ Perhaps pharmaceutical companies, governments and pro-vaccine ‘cults’ will finally begin to understand that vaccine safety and efficacy is a global issue.



SANE Vax Inc. founders, Norma Erickson, President, Rosemary D. Mathis, Vice President of Victim Services, Leslie Carol Botha, Vice-President of Public Relations, Janny Stokvis, Vice President of Research, Freda Birrell, Secretary, and Linda Thompson, Treasurer, would like to express our sincere gratitude to the multitudes of vaccine safety advocates and medical professionals who have provided research and assistance in furthering our endeavors. SANE Vax now has developed a strong network of dedicated professionals, medical consumers and media contacts who understand that the vaccine industry may pose more health risks than the benefits they have promoted for the past 40 years.

The SaneVax Team would also like to thank our colleague, and natural cycle researcher, David Katzmire – http://kalarhythms.org/ for his expertise and countless hours of volunteer work on the development of our web sites.

Rosemary Mathis believes the site has helped vaccine damaged children and their families find research necessary to back up their claims of injury for physicians, attorneys and other professional advocates. Many families of Gardasil victims have found the site and contacted Mathis looking for information to assist them while on the terrifying journey to help their loved ones recover.

Prior to the organization’s formation, the SANE Vax team had lengthy discussions about the name and mission statement ‘to promote Safe, Affordable, Necessary & Effective vaccines and vaccination practices through education and information.’ In the end we decided this was the most appropriate message to reach medical consumers and professionals who are just starting to question vaccine safety and efficacy. Approximately 10,000 people visit the Sane Vax site monthly.

Science – in particular neuro-science – is just beginning to catch up with the concerns parents of vaccine-damaged children have observed for far too long. In order for medical consumers to be able to grant informed consent for vaccine compliance, they need to be aware of the often minimized potential risks of adverse events as well as the potential vaccine benefits. Medical consumers need to know what to do in case of adverse reaction. SANE Vax fills the need for that information.

‘What is most distressing,’ states Botha, ‘is negative studies on vaccine practices, ingredients, and methodology, many on the US government’s PubMed.gov site, have been conducted and known by the pharmaceutical companies and the government for years. Yet they continue to promote vaccines.’

In the past year, members of the SANE Vax team were invited to present research and data on the HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix at the British Society for Ecological Medicine Conference in London. They had an opportunity to privately discuss vaccine concerns with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, as well as other eminent professionals, researchers, vaccine safety advocates and medical consumers.

SANE Vax, Truth About Gardasil, and ThinkExist Productions cooperatively raised $42,000 in donations from medical consumers and professionals for the production of the One More Girl documentary – a compelling film documenting the stories of HPV vaccine victims, their families and professional experts. One More Girl will be released in the summer of 2012.

The SANE Vax team has also published over 100 articles and news releases countering Merck’s claim that Gardasil is safe, affordable, necessary and effective. These articles have been posted on innumerable sites around the globe, prompting interviews by several prominent radio show hosts in the U.S., Panama, and The Netherlands.

Norma Erickson states, “Our message is quite simple. If it is not Safe, Affordable, Necessary and Effective, medical consumers do not need it. Now is the time for scientific proof of manufacturers’ claims. Show us independent scientific validation. Prove your vaccines are SANE.”

Honey, I Shrink-Wrapped the Kids! Merck Declares No Health Risk - Research Shows Otherwise

In the interest of public health and safety, SaneVax Inc. formally requests the FDA release the lot numbers, number of affected doses and destination of all contaminated vials. This data must be compared to the adverse reactions in VAERS reports.

Aug 04, 2011 - According to Katherine Hobson of the Wall Street Journal: ‘The latest pharma world example of wow-that-really-shouldn’t-be-in-there comes from Merck & Co.’ Last week, reports circulated around the Internet primarily in business/stock market sections of newspapers of yet another FDA investigation exposing the discovery of charred bits of plastic shrink wrap in vials of vaccines made at a plant in West Point, Pa.

According to the Dow Jones Newswires the contaminated vaccines include Gardasil for the prevention of HPV infection, Varivax for chicken pox, Pneumovax for pneumococcal disease, Zostavax for shingles and MMR II for measles, mumps and rubella.

Merck’s official position is the problem is rare and they aren’t aware of any adverse health events associated with the problem. The company remains confident in the safety and efficacy of its products.

Where is the logic – the science – the protection – the ‘do no harm?’ How can injecting vaccines with known contaminants into human beings be an acceptable practice?

This time, it appears the shrink-wrap wasn’t removed from incoming glass vials prior to washing and was charred during the sterilization process, leaving burnt residue in the vials at Merck’s West Point plant.

The FDA has been tracking problems at the West Point plant since 2008. A series of inspection reports have chronicled the issues — most of which have been resolved, according to Merck. Twelve incidents of shrink wrap contamination have been reported since 2009. Merck has responded by moving away from the use of shrink wrap in favor of cardboard trays. Some vials are still shrink-wrapped, however, and the company says it hopes to phase these out by the end of the year, according to Dow Jones.

Merck says there are no reports of adverse health problems, though theoretically the particles could cause a reaction at the injection site. How would Merck know what kind of ‘charred plastic reaction’ that would cause? Have there been any studies conducted to determine whether injecting particles of charred plastic is safe?

Has anyone considered that the real culprit behind the adverse reactions may be invisible toxic chemical emissions interacting with the vaccine?

According to Chem Tec Publishing: ‘Plastic when heated emits volatile organic compounds that contribute to the deterioration of ambient air quality in terms of odors and pollutants…. These contaminants are of particular concern in confined spaces such as car interiors, houses and offices.’1

What about the confined space of a vaccine vial?

What happens to the structure/integrity of a vaccine when exposed to toxic gas? Where are the scientific studies?

So what is shrink wrap made of?

Shrink and stretch wrapping can be quite complex in structure. Most packaging films used for shrink and stretch wrapping are from the polyolefin range. The materials are produced from oil based chemicals by what is called a polymerization process, which basically means getting the right molecules and atoms to club together in a way that is required or desirable for a particular application. The most common plastic materials are polyethylene, polypropylene and poly vinyl chloride.2

What happens when one of these plastics becomes charred? Polymer Plastics emit carbon dioxide and depending on the plastic, the combustion stage produces flames (which can propagate), charred surface layers and can be accompanied by the emission of smoke and toxic gases.3

Polyethylene

In a 2006 Material Safety Data Sheet from Inhance/Fluoro-Seal, Ltd. states that Polyethylene is not classified as hazardous by OSHA standards although it does emit toxic fumes that ‘may include carbon monoxide and other organic vapors’ when burned. However the safety sheet states ‘No adverse health effects are anticipated from the reasonable use of this product.’

This specific product has not been tested for exposure effects on eyes, skin, upon inhalation or ingestion. Nor has it been tested for chronic health effects or potential aggravation of current medical conditions.4

Polypropylene

An environmentally-friendly product, polypropylene is made from carbon and hydrogen, manufactured without any dangerous emissions. When burnt or incinerated, polypropylene will only give off water vapor or carbon dioxide, which is converted by photosynthesis (chlorophyll).5

Poly vinyl chloride

PVC production involves the creation of many toxic chemicals. Dioxins, including TCDD (one of the most toxic synthetic chemicals known) and furans are inescapable by-products of the production of the basic feedstock of PVC, vinyl chloride monomer. PVC needs a host of additives to make it useable. Lead, cadmium or organotins are used as stabilizers. Phthalates are used as softeners in PVC and other chemicals used as colorants, fire-retardants and anti-oxidants. Many of these are released into the environment.

When PVC is incinerated it releases its chlorine content and again causes the release of dioxins which are formed when chlorinated organic compounds, or a mixture of inorganic chloride and organic matter are burned.

Toxic chemicals released during the production, use and disposal of PVC threaten the environment and human health. Dioxins - known carcinogens and hormone disrupters, persist for many years and accumulate in the fatty tissues of living organisms.

Politicians assure us that certain levels are not harmful. Scientists are divided. Arguments about safe levels and tolerable daily intakes miss the point. Mothers should not be forced to feed any level of carcinogenic, or potentially hormone disrupting chemicals to their children.6

Nor should parents be expected to expose their children to contaminated vaccines. When adverse reactions from Gardasil include increased rates of cancer, hormone disruption, infant death post- breast feeding one has to begin to wonder what part of this vaccine is safe and efficacious – not only in terms of listed ingredients but also those that “fall into the mix” during the manufacturing process.

The SaneVax Team is demanding the FDA hold Merck accountable for this new chemical contamination atrocity. Vaccine safety and efficacy cannot be proven until contamination is eliminated. In the interest of public health and safety, release all of the information on the vaccines contaminated with charred plastic. Prove you mean what you say about 'transparency' in government. Medical professionals and consumers alike have a right to know.

Merck's Marketing Department Declares HPV is a Disease! SaneVax Inc. Declares Gardasil a Disease

Merck’s well-honed marketing professionals have done it again – they have captured the attention of parents and girl’s around the country with their marketing campaign labeling HPV a disease.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Merck's 2011 Gardasil Advertising CampaignPRLog (Press Release) – Jul 16, 2011 – Ads have appeared throughout the summer in the national newspapers like Sunday’s Parade Magazine, National Geographic – and this ad found on The Huffington Post blog.

“So when my doctor said Gardasil helps protect me from cervical cancer and other HPV diseases, I figured how could I not?”

The SANE Vax team’s question to Merck is: ‘How could you?’

Selling advertising to young, innocent, ‘happy-go-lucky’ adolescent girls who never heard the term ‘HPV disease’ before is a blatant fear tactic that is nothing short of unethical and morally reprehensible, not to mention illegal.

In 2006, Merck’s team of marketing gurus created the well-known ‘One-Less Girl’ to get Cervical Cancer Campaign. The campaign was heralded as a brilliant success as little girls jumped up and down in their living rooms singing ‘I am going to be one less girl to get cervical cancer;’ instead many of them became one more girl adversely affected by the Gardasil vaccine.

Merck won numerous television ad honors at the 2008 10th Annual Pharmaceutical Advertising and Marketing Excellence Awards (PhAME) gala event at the prestigious Guggenheim Museum in uptown New York City for the ‘One Less Girl’ campaign. Merck’s marketing techniques even earned Gardasil a "pharmaceutical brand of the year" award from Pharmaceutical Executive for its ‘savvy disease
education,’ and building ‘a market out of thin air.” 1.

Not bad for a vaccine against a virus not yet directly linked to causing cervical cancer, 2 but now associated with 22,194 adverse injuries and 97 deaths by researchers, scientists, medical doctors, and parents around the world.

While the majority of the nearly 200 known types of HPV cause no symptoms in most people, some types can cause warts (verrucae), while others can – in a minority of cases – lead to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, and anus in women, or cancers of the anus and penis in men.

In fact, most HPV infections in young females are temporary with little long-term significance. Seventy percent of infections are gone in 1 year and ninety percent in 2 years. However, when the infection persists — in 5% to 10% of infected women — there is high risk of developing precancerous lesions of the cervix, which can progress to invasive cervical cancer. This process usually takes 15–20 years, providing many opportunities for detection and treatment of the pre-cancerous lesion. Progression to invasive cancer can be almost always prevented when standard prevention strategies are applied, but the lesions still cause considerable burden necessitating preventive surgeries, which do in many cases involve loss of fertility.3.

Gardasil is a Disease

If Merck’s marketing department can spin the truth in the name of profit – then the SANE Vax team will take the same leeway –in the name of justice – and declare Gardasil a disease.

Compare HPV Disease to Gardasil Disease

HPV Disease: potential for cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus and penis from an infection that may take over 15 – 20 years to develop.

Gardasil Disease: Abortion,/Stillbirth/Miscarriage, Addison's Disease, Adrenal failure, Adrenal issues, Allergies, Anxiety/Panic attacks, Appetite loss, Arthritis, Asthma attacks, Autistic - like symptoms, Autoimmune Disease (Lupus / Mixed Connective Tissue Disease), Back pain, Bacterial Vaginosis, Bladder issues, Bleeding gums, Blindness, Bloated, Blood Sugar Issues, Bloody stools, Brain fog, Brain Inflammation, Brain lesions, Bronchitis, Cervical cancer, Chemical sensitivity, Chest pains, Convulsions, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Constipation, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Death, Degenerative disk disease, Dehydration, Depression, Diabetes, Diarrhea, Dizziness, Dyslexia, Dysplasia, Early Onset of Menopause, Enlarged fallopian tubes, Enlarged liver, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Extreme pain in the tailbone area , Fainting, Fatigue, Fertility problems, Fever, Fever blisters, Fibromyalgia, Food allergies, Gallbladder issues, Genital Warts, Gray film on teeth, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Hair growth in strange places, Hair loss, Hallucinations, Hand / Leg Weakness, Hasimoto's Disease, Head pressure, Headache, Hearing loss (Permanent), Hearing loss (Temporary), Hearing sensitivity, Heart Palpitations, Heart arrhythmia, High levels of metals in blood: aluminium, mercury Hot / Cold Intolerance, HPV, Infertility, Insomnia, Itching, IUD discomfort, Joint pain, Kidney Failure, Kidney issues, Knee pain, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Light sensitivity, Lip spots, Liver Failure, Loss of bladder control, Lupus, Memory Loss (long-term), Memory Loss (short-term), Menstrual cycle changes, Metallic taste in mouth, Migraines, Miscarriage, Mood Swings, Moles (Increase in number of), Mononucleosis, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), MS-like symptoms, Muscle aches, Muscle spasms, Muscle tension, Nausea, Neurological reactions to fungal metabolites, Neurological symptoms , Night sweats, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Numbness, Other types of cancer, Ovarian failure, Paleness, Paralysis, Pancreatitis, PCOS (Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome), Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Pelvic pain, Personality changes, Pins / Needles in Extremities, Pleural effusion, Pneumonia, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (Orthostatic Intolerance), Random twitching of extremities Rash, Raynaud's Phenomenon (loss of blood circulation to hands and/or feet), Regression, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ruptured ovarian cysts, Seizures, Sensitivity to commercially processed citric acid, MSG, sulfur and other additives, Severe nerve pain syndrome, Shortness of breath, Sleep Apnea, Slurred speech, Smell sensitivity, Sore throat, Sound sensitivity w/ Anxiety, Stomach ache, Stomach pain, Sudden drops in blood pressure, Swelling / Edema, Swollen lymph nodes, Thyroid Issues, Thrombosis Toothaches/Teeth Changes, Tremors: hand and/or leg, Uterine spasms, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Vision changes - long term, Vision loss (Permanent), Vision loss (Temporary), Vision Problems - abnormal pupillary function / dilation, Vomiting blood, Weight gain or loss (20 – 30 lbs) 4.

The above adverse injuries have been reported after taking a vaccine that has only been on the market for five years. Gardasil disease apparently afflicts adolescent girls and boys right after the injection, within days, weeks, or perhaps even years. Gardasil disease does not go away and there is no known cure. Girls have literally dropped –dead – passing away before hitting the bathroom floor or drowning in the bathtub. Many adversely injured have ended up in rehabilitation – have become frequent flyers to their local emergency rooms, have seen more doctors than their age and have had to drop out of school and out of their normal lives.

Which would you rather get Gardasil Disease or HPV Disease? Ask the 22,000 girls injured by Gardasil and they will tell you they would rather take their chances with HPV Disease.

Partnering for HPV Vaccine Introduction, Part I: Questions Unanswered

Despite unanswered questions about HPV vaccine efficacy and duration of protection, nine 'partner' organizations chose to proceed making plans for worldwide distribution of Gardasil and Cervarix prior to FDA approval. What is wrong with this picture?


PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 05, 2011 – On 5 October 2005, eight months prior to FDA approval of the HPV vaccine Gardasil, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO, a regional office of the World Health Organization) sponsored a meeting in Washington D.C. The theme of this meeting was, Partnering for HPV Vaccine Introduction. According to the final report issued after this meeting,1 its purpose was to, “accelerate and strengthen the dialogue between invited partner agencies regarding their interests and plans related to the introduction of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines.”

Of course, both potential vaccine suppliers, Merck and GlaxoSmithKline, were ‘invited.’ In addition to the potential suppliers, representatives from the following ‘partnering agencies’ were in attendance:

• The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)
• The World Health Organization (WHO)
• The International Union Against Cancer (UICC)
• The American Cancer Society (ACS)
• The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
• The United States National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH)
• The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

After a brief introduction, representatives of PAHO outlined the activities their organization had already conducted in preparation for the introduction of the yet to be approved HPV vaccines. Then, Merck and GSK each made a brief presentation regarding their respective-proposed HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix.

The presentations made by Merck and GlaxoSmithKline raised the following questions from their ‘partnering agencies’:

• Question 1: How would vaccine efficacy be assessed in young children in the absence of CIN lesions?

• Question 2: How will the issue of consent for HPV vaccine trials in adolescents be handled?

• Question 3: What is the duration of protection conferred by these vaccines?

• Question 4: What level of antibody is actually protection?

According to the final report on this meeting, published by PAHO, the answers given to these questions were sketchy at best. That may be understandable, considering HPV vaccines had not yet been approved by the FDA. However, it is not acceptable for these questions to remain unanswered five years post-FDA approval.

SaneVax Inc. has the following concerns regarding the above-stated questions:

Question 1: Although both vaccine suppliers indicated they were ‘conducting immune-bridging studies,’ the question posed has still not been answered. There is no adequate reliable method of testing HPV vaccine efficacy to this day. Using CIN lesions is not reliable, considering they frequently reverse on their own, without medical intervention. Efficacy against vaccine-relevant HPV genotypes could theoretically be tested via DNA sequencing, but that option is not readily available to medical consumers.

Question 2: Both vaccine suppliers indicated they required consent from the parent, or legal guardian, as well as permission from the subject when trials were conducted with participants below the legal age of consent. This clearly was not the case in India, April 2009, when clinical trials were halted because of alleged ethics violations including boarding school administrators being allowed to give consent for all of the girls attending their school, and other consent forms being returned with a thumbprint (clearly indicating the person granting consent could not read the consent form).2

Question 3: The answer provided by both vaccine suppliers then (information on duration of protection is unavailable at this time), is similar to the one they give today. Both vaccines have been approved for nearly five years. One of the suppliers is already talking about the potential need for a booster shot to maintain protection. Duration of protection is still unknown.

Question 4: The answer given at the time by the vaccine suppliers was, “There are currently no established serologic correlates of protection.” What that means is no matter how many antibodies are produced and circulating in a vaccinated person’s bloodstream, no one knows if you are protected. Serologic correlates have still not been established.

Three of the four questions posed at the meeting are basic questions that should have been answered prior to FDA approval of either HPV vaccine. There must be a reliable way to determine efficacy and antibody level required for protection with any vaccine. These should be determined prior to marketing. Every vaccine carries some risk for some people. If efficacy cannot be determined with accuracy you have nothing left but risk.

Duration of protection should also be well established prior to marketing for the same reason efficacy needs to be determined. No one can logically determine if a vaccine is cost effective when they do not know the duration of protection.

One has to wonder why nine prestigious organizations, responsible for the health and well-being of millions of people, would agree to stand behind and promote any vaccine that could not clearly and scientifically demonstrate the answers to very basic questions regarding the product’s efficacy.

There are only a couple of options available to medical consumers to determine HPV vaccines’ efficacy. One, wait 20 or more years to see if HPV vaccines actually make an impact on cervical cancer rates; or two, demand post licensure monitoring that includes HPV DNA sequencing to find out if the vaccines are actually making an impact on vaccine-relevant genotypes of HPV.

The SaneVax Team votes for – No adequate post-licensure monitoring – No marketing!
