This minor change has taken the drug giants three whole years to put into place, although fainting was included in the small print in 2007. Merck have stated that these seizures are not epileptic in nature, however, even they have to admit that a faint followed by tonic-clonic movement and seizure like activity, which ever way they dress it up, is really saying in the broad sense, a child could have a ‘Grand Mal Seizure’ after having a Gardasil vaccination. This is especially important as many girls have gone on to be diagnosed as epileptic after having Gardasil vaccines. Girls like Katherine Kimzey, a 14-year-old girl who experienced headaches, fainting, and stiff joints after receiving the second shot of her three-dose Gardasil vaccine battery. A few weeks later, Katherine had a seizure and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. Katherine is one girl of many who has encourntered a serious adverse reaction after receiving Gardasil. I believe that Merck are becoming very worried indeed if they have suddenly decided to take the unusual step of altering labels and packaging. Are they running scared perhaps?
