Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Risks NOW!

Target:
President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress
The National Vaccine Information Center (http://www.nvic.org/) is petitioning President Barack Obama and Congress on behalf of families to investigate Gardasil vaccine deaths and serious injuries NOW!


Whereas:

Gardasil vaccine was fast tracked and licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 and immediately recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for universal use by all 11-12 year old girls, teenagers and young women to age 26; and


·        Merck, the drug company marketing Gardasil, was required by federal health agencies to study Gardasil side effects in only about 1200 girls 16 years old and younger and follow them up for less than two years before getting a license; and


·        Merck was not required by federal health agencies to use a true placebo in pre-licensure clinical trials but compared Gardasil against a placebo that contained an unknown amount of aluminum, potentially masking the true reactivity of Gardasil, which also contains aluminum; and


·        The deaths and serious health problems experienced by participants receiving Gardasil in pre-licensure clinical trials were written off by Merck as a coincidence; and


·        The thousands of adverse events reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) since Gardasil has been licensed, including deaths and serious health problems involving emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and permanent injuries, have been written off by federal health agencies as a coincidence; and


·        A comparison of serious adverse events, such as death, stroke, blood clots, cardiac arrest, seizures, fainting, lupus, and rechallenge cases, reported to VAERS after Gardasil vaccination and meningococcal (Menactra) vaccination reveal that these events are reported three to 30 times more frequently after Gardasil vaccination; and


·        Doctors and parents are not being informed by federal agencies or Merck about all serious adverse events associated with Gardasil so steps can be taken to monitor vaccine reactions and prevent injury and death; and


·        The hallmark of good government is honesty, accountability and transparency; and


·        President Barack Obama and members of  Congress have pledged to improve government honesty, accountability and transparency for the people of the United States;


Therefore,


We call on President Barack Obama, his Administration and the U.S. Congress to investigate the expedited licensing and universal use recommendation by federal health agencies that all girls aged 11-12 years old and young women up to age 26 receive three doses of Gardasil; and further


To take action to minimize the human and economic costs of Gardasil vaccination for individuals and the American public in order to protect the lives of Americans who trust the government to ensure that vaccines licensed for public use are safe, effective and necessary.

I do not believe that legislation has the right to compromise and jeopardize my child's immune system or his life. It is unconscionable that these injuries and deaths are going unacknowledged and that the manufacturers are protected against lawsuits and most vaccine manufacturers have been protected and injuries due to vaccines have been swept under the rug for years. How can we as a nation let this continue?

We have steered clear of this vaccine. My daughter is well educated and healthy, no thanks to Big Pharma. We must have transparent and independent studies with unbiased results, regardless of the outcome. Investigate Gardasil vaccine risks now.

After hearing what my cousin went through and is still going through today because of this vaccine I will personally not allow my daughter who is only 20 months old get this shot. I believe this vaccine has done more harm than good that it says it would. A fairly new vaccine always makes me leary and because my family has personally dealt with the outcome of this vaccine, my daughter will not get it! More research must be done and truly list the side effects. I was in the age range when the vaccine came out and I choose not to get it. I thank god everyday that I did make that decision and I am glad because who knows what would have happened to me and to my kids.

I have a family member who went through much suffering because of this drug, I urge this administration to PLEAS have this drug taken off the market and be studided, before there are any more deaths or suffering.

I have been very fortunate not to have been affected by vaccines to the best of my knowledge. I am still in the target age bracket for the Gardasil shots, and I had considered getting them when they first came out a few years ago. After all the horrible things I've been reading about the shots, forget it! It will be a cold day in hell before I ever get them, no matter what any future doctor of mine says to get me to change my mind. At first I thought Gardasil was this amazing advance in medical science or what have you. Now I'm convinced that nothing good can come from some vaccine that was fast-tracked after inadequate testing at best that MAY protect against a FEW kinds of cervical cancer out of the DOZENS of strains in existence. Something's really wrong with that picture. Sounds like snake oil that should never have seen the light of day. To Congress and President Obama: please do the right thing and get this poison off the market until further testing is done, if not for good; and do so NOW! Girls my age and younger are getting sick and/or dying. Worse yet, some girls have already lost their lives, and for what? Greed disguised as progress? How sickening! To the peeps at Merck: you are pushing a product that has destroyed young girls and their families in more ways than one. How do you live with yourselves? As far as I'm concerned, you're no better than a crack dealer on some street corner. Harsh words, I know. But until you do right by these people who have suffered physically, emotionally and financially because of your million dollar baby Gardasil and until you do right by the general public, that opinion will not change. I really want to believe that you're genuinely trying to help people with new medicines and stuff. Gardasil is clearly not among those new medicines, more like a toxic menace to society. Please take it off the market immediately, or be prepared for a ton of lawsuits just like what happened with Vioxx. I guarantee you that will happen, it's just a matter of when. In closing, I would like to say that my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the young girls out there that have suffered horribly because of this poison. It is my fondest hope that NOBODY'S suffering will EVER be in vain.

Please take this vaccine off the market until further testing can be done. You would not want your daughter to go through any of the types of things you read about here. These parents do not want their daughters to go through any of this stuff either, to suffer or possibly die. Thank you for being companssionate enough to do all you can here.

If even one child is at risk of injury for receiving a doctor recommended product with the idea that this will make them healthier, this should be extensively investigated to give all people the proper data to make an informed CHOICE!

SHE HAD THE DAM VACCINE AGAINST MY WILL, after reading all this info on the internet l am terrified my daughter will die. Carolyn Stauber from Wisconsin

I have read of some of the reactions and the horrible results. Since I have four grandaughters who are the ages that the medical community are urging to get this vaccine, I am very concerned. Especially the areas that are requiring the young girls to comply. This must be stopped!

I do not have any family in the right age range for this vaccine. I do, however, have 2 friends who have extreme health problems from this vaccine. I would hope that the makers and regulators of this product would pull it out of production and get better, more reliable testing results.

I was lucky to not be affected by the shots, but I really dont appreciated not being an information packet or something that would have warned me before I decided to get the vaccine. Now someone I know is suffering life-threatening issues due the shot. Something should be done now.

I have always been suspicious of the "many" vaccines that are pushed into our society as a "need". I will not vaccinate my children with anything else out there, especially this one. You should be urging fellow citizens to get the facts, not the vaccines!

Two dear friends of ours have had many ongoing issues with their daughters. They have endured countless hospital visits along with astronomical medical bills. If there is any correlation between their problems and this shot- PLEASE do something so no one else has to suffer like they have.

I understand it might cost a lot of money to investigate this problem, but if it is a common problem in several young girls, I feel it is only the right thing to do. What if this happened to your daughter? Would your thoughts change?

I personally know of one young lady who has taken 2 out of the 3 vaccines. This "vaccine has TOTALLY DESTROYED HER LIFE. This beautiful, once healthy and vibrant young lady, Shelby Nicole, took 2 of the 3 vaccines, and since then has suffered seizures, fatigue, massive hair loss, inabilities for her body to build immunities to certain virus'....over all decline in health. Shelby has gone through going to school and the humility of having a seizure in front of all of her friends, and the Principal telling her parents that she should be taken out of school. Please, please pull this vaccine from the market until further testing is done. Testing will show how dangerous this drug is. Merek shame on you. I really respect Merek because of all the help that they give people, and I find it hard to believe that they are truly "just" worried about the profits. Thank you.
