Does Your 9 Year Old Need a Sex Vaccine?

Let us begin with this statement:

" The FDA adverse event reports on the HPV vaccine read like a catalog of horrors," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Any state or local government now beset by Merck's lobbying campaigns to mandate this HPV vaccine for young girls ought to take a look at these adverse health reports. It looks as if an unproven vaccine with dangerous side effects is being pushed as a miracle drug."- Judicial Watch, May 23 statement"

My husband loves the Planet Chiropractic blog by Michael Dorausch. He recently wrote a post about Gardisal. It got me fired up! Do you know about this vaccine? It was made to make money, wait, I mean to help your daughters not contract HPV (Human Papillomavirus) if they are having sex. Well, call me stupid, but I rather my daughter just not have sex, then have the disease itself plus a multitude of preservatives and crap pumped into her blood stream. But that's just me.

There is a cute website for Gardasil. It's all pink and pretty and inviting. On this site, right at the top, it states "the only cancer vaccine that helps against 4 types of human papillomavirus (HPV)..." So, I guess if you get another type, oh well. This vaccine protects against types 6, 11, 16 and 18 only. Sorry girls!

So, what is Gardasil? According to their maker Merck and Co. (one of the devil's right hand minions) and the website, Gardasil is for young women ages 9-26! Nine? Are you kidding me? They want to get them young before there is any chance they have sex. Nine? (That is only if they come in contact with types 6, 11, 16 and 18. Your 10 year old better ask her boyfriend if he knows what type he might have, because she will want to make sure her vaccine works. Make sure your 10 year old is on birth control too).

Now, if you are already having sex, Merck wants to assure you it is OK! You can still benefit because you might not have come in contact with their 4 types, so get the shot in case your next one night stand is a type 6. Let me just stop here and ask, "Has anyone heard of abstinence, monogamous relationships, um condoms???"

Moving on. One shot will not work by the way...or maybe by saying you or your daughter will need 3 shots in 6 months, they will make 3 times the amount of money. We are talking about a billion dollar industry here! Wait, I'm just getting started. Also, if you look at the vaccine schedules and see that many of them require boosters, it might make you stop and ask yourself, "Do these really work? Why does my child need 2 or 3 doses?"

Merck shows some caution by stating on their website, "Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant. GARDASIL does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts." It does not treat, but it MIGHT prevent types 6, 11, 16 and 18. Well, what are the ingredients and how do you know if you are allergic without already having a reaction?

They do admit (if you can find this information on your own...they do not advertise it...that would be bad for business) that "GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, and does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL will not protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV." Once again, make sure your partner has type 18.

"The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, and redness at the injection site, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting." "Only a doctor or healthcare professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for you or your daughter." Are those the only side effects? Oh, and by the way, only a doctor can decide if it is right for you and your daughter, NOT YOU!

Let us dig a little deeper. I loved the question and answer section and how vague it was. This was good though: "Cervical cancerCervical cancerCervical cancer is cancer of the cervix. Cervical cancer is a serious condition that can be life threatening.

See Full Glossary can be caused by about 10 to 30 types of HPV... GARDASIL helps guard against 2 of these types—HPV Types 16 and 18." Did you read the same thing I did? There are 10 to 30 types that cause cervical cancer and Gardasil helps guard against (not fully prevent) 2 types!!!!

Let us really get into the side effects and safety here. This is the answer Merck gives to the commonly asked question of safety: "Allergic reactions that may include difficulty breathing, wheezing (bronchospasm), hives, and rash have been reported. Some of these reactions have been severe." Does "severe" mean death?

Additional side effects reported during general use include: "swollen glands (neck, armpit, or groin), Guillain-Barré syndrome, headache, joint pain, aching muscles, unusual tiredness, and generally feeling unwell."

"If you or your child has any unusual or severe symptoms after receiving GARDASIL, contact your doctor or healthcare professional right away. For a more complete list of side effects, ask your doctor or healthcare professional."

"The safety of the vaccine is something that is being followed on an ongoing basis." So is it really safe? It has only been on the market a short while and 3 doses are being recommended. Dr. Mercola recently wrote an article about this unnecessary vaccine. In it he showed us the following:

Back in June, it was reported that over 1,600 adverse reactions, including three deaths, had been linked to Gardasil, Merck’s new vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV). It appears those reactions, and deaths, are steadily rising. A review of the National Vaccine Information Center revealed the following, quite alarming, statistic about this unnecessary vaccine: 2,207 adverse reactions to Gardasil have been reported. Among them:

• 5 girls died
• 31 were considered life-threatening
• 1,385 required a visit to the emergency room
• 451 of the girls have not recovered as of July 2007
• 51 of the girls were disabled

Dr. Micheal Daroush of Planet Chiropractic reported:

According to several news reports, information regarding adverse effects (or side effects) of the vaccine jab became available via the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. Watchdog websites like Judicial Watch (Judicial Watch Uncovers New FDA Records) published reports with details on vaccine adverse reactions, which included 10 deaths since September of 2007 (and possibly as many as 20), 140 "serious" reports which are categorized as "life-threatening", 10 reports of spontaneous abortions, and six cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system), of which there is reportedly no known cure.

Need I continue? Get educated, make an educated decision and stick to it! Here in Texas they are trying to pass a law that will "force" all girls going into 6th grade to get this unnecessary, dangerous vaccine. Your daughter might become disabled or die, but at least she may have been safe from a sexually transmitted disease.
