Lisa Schryver Ericzon’s daughter, Jessica F., died two years ago, and Ms. Ericzon says she believes the Gardasil vaccine was the cause. Ms. Ericzon, Omar, has spent the past two years researching the vaccine and connecting with other parents, in an effort to get her concerns about the vaccine heard.

These incident reports are from VAERS – the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. According to FDA VRBPAC documents who already have the HPV virus AND who get the HPV vaccine (Gardasil) have a 44.6% increase in getting cervical cancer.

It is estimated that 75% of Canadians will have at least one Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in their lifetime.
HPV belongs to a group of over 100 viruses which can be passed easily from person to person through sexual contact. These infections are quite common and in some cases they do go away because the immune system gets rid of the virus. The importance of eating right and being physically active is heightened in knowing that a strong immune system can combat some HPV. However, even though our bodies provide some defense, certain types of sexually transmitted HPV do cause changes to the cells of the cervix which can lead to cervical cancer.

UK health officials have wrongly assumed the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine can prevent 70 per cent of cases of cervical cancer and press reports show “German experts said the assumptions simply did not stand up to scrutiny, and that women remained at risk“: Experts Cast Doubt on Claim for ‘Wonder’ Cancer Jabs Sunday Express 31 May 2009: Cervical cancer jabs cast into doubt after experts question effectiveness Scotland On Sunday 10th May 2009.
The HPV vaccine can have serious adverse effects with high levels of reported adverse reactions. Death and debilitating illness have been claimed but officials do not acknowledge an association.
Germany’s Robert Koch Institute, which makes recommendations on the public funding of vaccines, is reviewing its programme after 13 experts called for a reassessment of its HPV vaccination programme and an end to “misleading information” about the effectiveness of the jab. A spokeswoman said: “Because of the public discussion and some new reports and new statements from the 13 professors, the committee will publish a statement within the next few weeks.”

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Female caregivers of African American girls are reluctant to have their children vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), according to a new study by the Center for Community Health (CCH) at the UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas.
The HPV Vaccine Acceptability Study discovered a few major themes from its focus groups:

THE Scottish Government has been urged to review its cervical cancer vaccination programme and follow the lead of Germany, which ordered experts to show hard evidence the jab is effective and safe in the long-term.
The International Coalition of Advocates for the People (ICAP) – a group raising concerns of the safety and efficacy of Cervarix and its rival, Gardasil, to health ministers and researchers worldwide – want a thorough investigation into the vaccine. The organisation successfully lobbied the health minister and medical experts in Germany. Now the country’s Federal Joint Committee, which decides on the formula for the country’s social insurance system, has called for all recommendations on Cervarix and Gardasil to be revised and demanded a new report based on detailed evidence.

Vaccines against the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes more than 99 per cent of all cervical cancers have to be made cheaper to enable developing countries to make them part of routine immunisation programmes, said cancer experts and scientists from the World Health Organisation (WHO). Cervical cencer is the number one cancer among women in India, affecting 1.3 lakh women each year.
Globally, 5 lakh women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year, of which half — 2.5 lakh, one woman every two minutes — die.

LAST year, I became aware of Cervarix when co-presenting a radio show. Sandwiched between talk segments were 60-second promotional adverts commissioned by the Scottish Government aimed at girls aged 12-17. They were advised to get jabs “critical in helping to protect Scottish women from a disease that can attack them in the prime of their lives”.
A listener from America immediately texted in. By the end of last year, more than 23 million doses of rival vaccine Gardasil had been distributed in the US and reports of side-effects were flooding in. Why wasn’t this information being conveyed?
So the HPV vaccines became one of the case studies for my PhD in public health communication. I started digging. The US listener wasn’t the only person with concerns about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. Campaigners, scientific experts, doctors and parents all over the world were asking questions.

LEADING scientists and doctors have raised fresh concerns about the safety of a cervical cancer vaccine.
They have accused the manufacturers of Cervarix and another jab, Gardasil, of making misleading claims.
More than 1,300 British girls have reported adverse reactions to Cervarix, ranging from paralysis to convulsions and sight problems.
Hailed as a wonder drug, it is claimed the jab will give 70 per cent protection from the disease to every girl under 18 by 2011.
Earlier this month the Sunday Express revealed the story of Rebecca Ramagge, 13, of Reigate, Surrey, who has been unable to walk for six months because of a joint disorder.
Rebecca’s paediatrician blames her condition on Cervarix.
In Germany, 13 distinguished professors have complained that the jab makers, Glaxo SmithKline and Sanofi, have been guilty of giving “incorrect” information.
Public Health vs Private Wealth

Public health authorities, pediatricians, and infectious disease specialists, rather than political bodies, should drive mandatory vaccination decisions and policies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend routine use of HPV vaccinations, but that is not equivalent to mandatory use. Merck, the manufacturer of the HPV quadrivalent vaccine, lobbied legislatures to make the vaccine mandatory17 before withdrawing its campaign when it became controversial.18 Since the manufacturer stands to profit from widespread vaccine administration, it is inappropriate for the company to finance efforts to persuade states and public officials to make HPV vaccinations mandatory, particularly so soon after the product was licensed. Private wealth should never trump public health.
