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.

My 16 year old daughter has received one gardasil shot. Within the next week, she began experiencing headaches, dizziness, and weakness. Within two months she began hyperventilating, fainting, and seizing. We have been to the emergency room three times in 24 hours due to the seizures, and spent five days in the hospital. This vaccine is not safe, and needs to be investigated. Merck needs to be held accountable. Our family has suffered tremendously due to Gardasil. IT IS NOT SAFE.

We need credible science, safety and oversight in the development and marketing of drugs, especially drugs given to children. Fast-tracked vaccines are no longer acceptable to american parents, whose children are suffering in increasing numbers from neurological disorders and immunosuppressive disorders which could quite plausibly be linked to them. Responsible research must be conducted.

Since receiving the Gardasil shot, I have experienced intense breathing problems, random outbreaks of hives, and irregular periods. I am now on multiple medications to control my breathing, irregular periods, and hives. Also, upon receiving the third shot, the entire left side of my body went numb and warranted a visit to the emergency room. Gardasil has caused me many problems that I may have to live with for the rest of my life. I strongly believe that this vaccine is doing more harm than good.

My friend's daughter had a reaction after her Gardasil shots and in fact became seriously ill and now has an autoimmune disease for the rest of her life. The doctors said it wasn't due to the Gardasil vaccination but I don't believe them and I feel very strongly that it was.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Oboma, Please help us the conerned citizens of the United States. Just recently my sister called me to tell me that my beautiful little niece has been very sick, my sister took her to the doctors countless times with flu like symptems. But the doctors said they couldn't find anything wrong with her. About 2 weeks ago my niece started having really bad leg cramps. So my sister and her husband took her to the emergency room. They couldn't find anything wrong with her. Then just recently my sister remembered that Amber had taken her 2nd round of Gardasil vaccination. The symptems got worse fast. We are so concerned about amber she is a beautiful child and we all lover her so much. "PLEASE" get someone to investigate this problem. There are young girls taking these shots that aren't safe because it is making them very ill or sometimes as I recently found out they have been dieing. Something has to be done about this. We need your help MR. PRESIDENT. Thank You,Susan Ahart

I RECEIEVED GARDASIL WHEN I WAS A VIRGIN AND SOON MY HEALTH AND IMMUNE SYSTEM HIT A WALL. SEVERAL STREP THROATS, MONO, URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS, AND MORE. I DEVELOPED A HUNDRED PINPOINT WARTS ON MY LEG WITHIN A FEW MONTHS AND MY ANNUAL PAPSMEAR FEW MONTHS LATER WAS ABNORMAL WITH PRECANCEROUS CELLS, FIRST ONE EVER TO BE ABNORMAL. NOW 2 YEARS LATER I NEED SURGERY TO REMOVE THE PRECANCEROUS CELLS. I WILL NEVER TAKE A VACCINE AGAIN.

This Vac was created by Pharm to make $$. This Vac is not proven to do anything but Harm young Women, long term effects are unknown. Read up on Jasmine a BC pill marketed to young girls. Major Law Suits, Death, just like Gardasil. All for $$$$. Not health. Do NOT allow your Daughters to be Vaccinated with Gardasil. Please!

I will not get vacinated nor will my daugheter (when I have them). Are YOU going to pay $300 to potentially get sick and help "stop" nothing?

I refuse to have my daughter/grand daughters injected with these questionable vaccines. I suspect that the main goal is NOT prevention, but PROFIT!! At what cost???

I am a mother of a daughter who is 11 and will not allow her to get the vaccine. she has only had one vaccine in her entire live, which was because at her birth the hospital didn't ask they just assumed we wanted them and gave her one. She has never had one since and has never gotten any more than an ear infection or cold. I was finally give BOTH sides of the vaccine information and then was able to make an INFORMED choice to not have them. We would not put most of the ingredients of vaccines into our bodies buy them self why would should we put them with other dangerous ingredients and then inject them. I believe that we need to stop scaring the parents into vaccine by giving them only half the story, They need to know the bad too, so they can make an INFORMED choice not a forced choice.

I did not have my daughters vaccinated, but I have two friends whose daughters had adverse reactions to the gardasil vaccine. Of the two girls, one had serious health consequences and continues to struggle with the lasting side effects.

I would not let my daughter receive this vaccine and see no reason to force young girls to receive this vaccine either. It has not been proven and long term effects are unknown

My cousin Amber Borel is suffering from reactions to the Gardasil vaccine. I also heard of a 14 year old girl in England dying from the injection later in the day. Some states are making it mandatory to take, but I disagree. It should be an optional choice only after careful research to say it is safe. I really do hope that my cousin and the other girls out there recover from this vaccine.

My younger cousin, Amber Borel, is experiencing allergic reactions to Gardasil. It's sad when you get a vaccine to prevent something, but in the end, the reactions to it are even worse than what you're trying to prevent!

My girlfriend's best friend, who I've become a good bit close to is having severe pains from taking this vaccine. Girls shouldn't be given the option to take this when it hasn't been researched enough. It's unfair to all these girls/women that have taken the vaccine because it was pushed on them without knowing that it could hurt, and even kill them. Please do everything possible to take this vaccine off the market.

I find myself scared to sleep at night because I don't know if i'll wake up. Somedays I have leg and body pains so bad that I'm crying ...I get short of breath and bad chest pains ...I'm starting to get weaker and I wake up with my entire face swollen. I can't live like this for the rest of my life. I'm 16 years old and I do not plan on dying from a vaccine. Some people say its worth the risk, thats only from the ignorant people that didn't take the shots or can't take them anymore because they may be too old or they don't have kids to watch them suffer through this. Me? I say its not worth it and its NOT a coincidence! Too many girls have died and went paralyzed.. I've taken 2 of the 3 shots and I'm scared to death. If I would've known anything about these shots, I would've never taken them. Please ...take this shot off of the market.

My daughter had her second shot today at 4:15 p.m. She told me that she felt very sick like she needed to vomit. She feels very weak and has a stiff neck. I thought it was strange that she had complained of this stiffness in her neck more then once through the past months. I then went online to look up any information for reactions from Gardasil. I found more information and it has put the fear into my soul. I am very worried about my daughter and hope that she will be ok. I wish that I had been told about these warnings. Today when she had been given the shot she did not lay down and this is very scary. They gave her the shot in her arm and then after she felt very strange she said. Then she told me about a girl friend at school who has been hospitalized every month since she had been given the shot. I said that I wish she had discussed that with me before the shot had been given. I then in turn asked the nurse at the desk when we checked out ifshe had heard of any cases. The nurse then responded well I don't know I don't have a daughter. Now my child is sick and I feel guilty that I may have assisted a doctor in causing her harm.
