"You should pay attention to new vaccines like gardasil, which the FDA approved in 2006. gardasil protects against the four types of human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes 70 percent of cervical cancers and 90 percent of genital warts. The problem is that we don't yet know enough about the HPV vaccine's side effects or the additives it contains. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for cancer prevention. But several states have tried to mandate the HPV vaccine for teenage girls, and I don't believe that vaccines should ever be mandated." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"The known side effects of gardasil include pain and swelling at the site of injection. Fever occurs in about 1% of cases. Although it may not be realistic to expect young people to practice safe sex, it is another way to prevent HPV until the vaccine can be investigated further. It should be emphasized, however, that condoms don't always stop infection, since HPV can be spread by parts of the genitals that are not covered by the latex. ACYCLOVIR Herpes simplex includes HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 involves herpes labialis, or cold sores on the lips." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Although gardasil blocked almost 100 percent of infections by two strains of HPV, it only reduced the incidence of cervical cancer precursors by 17 percent. gardasil may, by blocking only specific strains, allow other varieties of HPV to flourish. The vaccine's manufacturer, Merck, has said that the vaccine reduces the number of pre-cancerous lesions caused by HPV. But some have pointed out that Merck's study was not long enough to demonstrate the vaccine's effectiveness; it only lasted three years, although it was examining a disease that can take decades to develop. The U.S." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Even if the gardasil?vaccine was totally ineffective, it's not that likely that any of them would actually acquire cervical cancer, (especially in that age group)! 6. It's interesting that the "average" follow up period just happened to be a total of 17 months - one month short of completing the two years' study period. The obvious question is: Were some studies deliberately terminated earlier due to some potential problems, while others' time might have been extended to make up the difference? Manipulating the results would be so easy under the circumstances. 7." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "I would assume there will likely be more discoveries in the future, regarding gardasil? just as there were regarding Vioxx?(another of Merck's contributions to society). This Kind Of Obvious Corruption Absolutely Must Be Stopped! First it was Ritalin? followed by Prozac? and then other more potent SSRI antidepressants such as Paxil?soon followed. Now there are the atypical antipsychotic drugs such as Zyprexa? and finally, the mandatory injections with a new vaccine with no long-term studies to prove its safety! It took years to discover how dangerous Vioxx?" - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "Merck and The New gardasil?Vaccine - A Prime Example The following testimony of Dr. David J. Graham, M.D., M.P.H., (November 18, 2004), exemplifies the tremendous influence that Merck wields with the FDA: "Prior to approval of Vioxx, a study was performed by Merck named 090. This study found nearly a 7-fold increase in heart attack risk with low dose Vioxx. The labeling at approval said nothing about heart attack risks" (http://www.senate.gOv/~finance/riearinqs/testimony/2Q04test/111804dqtest.pdf)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "We have absolutely no way of knowing what the long-term risks might be, or possibly if some condition they might later develop could have been associated with the gardasil?vaccine, which Merck would of course deny. 9. There is a major flaw in our current drug approval process, (and has been for quite some time), which is reflected in Merck's study. For instance, companies can now conduct their own studies, and could easily conduct parallel studies, and then choose the one with the most favorable results, for FDA approval, (an all too common practice)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Merck's own literature says it is important to realize that gardasil does not protect women against some "non-vaccine" HPV types. In other words, even if girls accept the risks and get vaccinated, they can still get HPV. The Vaccine-Autism Link Many doctors act as if it is a crime when parents refuse to give vaccines to their children. They equate it with irresponsible parenting. These doctors blindly rely on recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Questions have recently emerged in the United States and Australia about the effectiveness and possibly dangerous side effects of gardasil, Merck's newly licensed vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV). This vaccine is given to young girls to prevent cervical cancer, which kills about 3,700 women each year. On June 9, 2007, The British Medical Journal reported that three deaths occurred in the U.S. shortly after immunization with the vaccine; these were among 1,637 adverse reactions reported by Judicial Watch, a public interest watchdog." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The vaccine, Merck & Co.'s gardasil, was approved for girls and women ages nine to 26. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will now decide whether to include the vaccine in routine vaccination schedules. IMPRESSIVE RESULTS In a two-year study that involved more than 12,000 women, the vaccine was found to be 100% effective against four types of human papillomavirus—HPV 16 and HPV 18, which are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases, and HPV 6 and HPV 11, which cause 90% of genital wart cases." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "Like many other vaccinations that are given in a series, gardasil will require three shots during the course of six months. THE FUTURE Despite the vaccine, women will still need to be screened for cervical cancer that is caused by other types of HPV, experts note. This is most often accomplished by a Pap test, which is still a very accurate indicator of a woman's cervical condition. What Is Cervical Cancer? Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant disease in women globally, causing an estimated 290,000 deaths worldwide each year." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "The study also showed that the gardasil vaccine was 100% effective against vulvar and vaginal precancerous lesions caused by HPV 16 and HPV 18. "This study shows that the prophylactic vaccine developed to prevent cervical cancer could actually also prevent vulvar and vaginal cancer as well," says Dr. Jorma Paavonen, the author of the study and chief physician in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Helsinki in Finland. REACTION The FDA action was hailed by experts. "It's huge!" says Dr. Michael A." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)
