Fourteen year old Natalie Morton, walked into school yesterday a happy, healthy little girl. Sadly, today she did not and tragically she will never walk through her school gates again. Yesterday Natalie was given one dose of the Cervarix HPV vaccine, the vaccine that the UK Government has portrayed as safe, a vaccine that Glaxo Smith Kline has said over and over is safe. For this little girl Cervarix was not because she died just a few hours later.

HPV EMERGENCY MEDICAL ALERT

Since February of 2007 I have researched the HPV vaccines extensively. I have learned so much during this time. Well, my most recent research has caused me to issue this warning. Let me show you how I came to my conclusions.

On August 7th of this year I referenced a study from Finland (1) on HPV and its transmission to infants. In that study 7.9% of the families the mother and father were HPV negative but the baby was HPV positive. Another interesting fact is that only 2.6% of the families were totally HPV negative. What this told me is that in 97.4% of the families someone was HPV positive. This study also informed me to the fact that this is not a sexually transmitted disease. HPV is transmitted by casual contact.

No, in fact, only women have cervixes. So why would the Food and Drug Administration approve Gardasil, a vaccine to prevent acquiring the virus that causes cervical cancer, for men?

The virus that causes cervical cancer is human papillomavirus, or HPV. There are more than 100 different strains of HPV that cause a range of illnesses, from genital warts to cervical cancer. Most people infected with HPV, however, clear the infection on their own without any symptoms. The four most common strains in the United States that Gardasil is designed to prevent are 6, 11, 16 and 18. The latter two are those responsible for about 70 percent of cervical cancer in the United States and the former two for 92 of genital warts.

Morton collapsed shortly after the vaccination earlier this week and died within hours.

I am outraged and dismayed to tell you this… But part of the funding for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs is back.

Late last night, Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) pushed through an amendment in the Senate Finance Committee authorizing $50 million in funding for abstinence-only programs as part of Health Care Reform- despite over 10 years of evidence that these programs do not work.

A Long And Deadly Wait

Sabril could help babies with brain-destroying seizures. So why did it take so long to approve?

Timothy Zirkel will never forget the seizures that assaulted his 4-month-old son, Jake. “You could see the pain in his body as it happened,” says Zirkel. “I just remember always wanting to trade places with him.”

Every seizure was damaging Jake’s brain. Infantile spasms, a rare form of epilepsy, strike 2,500 babies in the U.S. every year. Unless the seizures are stopped early, permanent neurological problems result. These children may never walk or talk. Some have IQs of less than 50.

74,323 Responses to Memorial Document on Gardasil

Some of you might be aware that I am proud to be a part of a small group of women from around the world who have been raising concerns about the HPV vaccine. We have researched and written papers and articles - many of which are posted on my blog and discussed on my radio show.

The papers are published under Global Concerns about Gardasil and Victims of the Gardasil Vaccine…Other web sites have picked up and run with these articles as well - and the documents have gone global - even making it to Russia earlier this summer.
