The following article consists of a highly opinionated yet well-studied article translated from a French blog concerning the potential dangers of the vaccination Gardasil, produced by the Merck pharmaceutical corporation. I encourage all of you to study the matter fully before making a decision as to whether to vaccinate yourself, or your children. If any of the more educated members of this community can present data which mitigates or clarifies any assertions of the original article, please do so.

It is estimated that 1 in 4 female youths has been exposed to at least one injection of Gardasil.

“Postmarket surveillance is critical to our job of ensuring the safety of drugs, devices and other FDA-regulated products. There is simply no way that we can anticipate all possible effects of a drug or device during the clinical trials that precede approval. If an adverse event occurs in one in 5,000 or even one in 1,000 users, it could be missed in clinical trials. But, it could pose a serious safety problem when the drug is used by many times that number of patients.

Yet even though reports from health professionals are critical to protecting the public health, the unfortunate fact is that most practitioners do not think to report adverse events or product problems that might be associated with medications, devices or other products regulated by the FDA. According to one study, only one percent of serious events are reported to the Agency. Meanwhile, up to 11 percent of hospital admissions may be due to drug reactions, one review article concluded. ”

You will probably have to register and log in to read this information - and for any interested in the Gardasil travesty - I suggest that you do so.  This is the most accurate information that I have seen about this vaccine in a long time.

Look at the above VAERS numbers - our statistics are showing the same rise not only for Gardasil but for all vaccines in the same age group of women.  How many of those reactions are occurring in the premenstrual phase?  That is the burning question that I have.
