Complications include shock, 'foaming at mouth,' convulsions, coma
Posted: June 30, 200810:18 pm EasternWorldNetDaily
"Anaphylactic shock," "foaming at mouth," "grand mal convulsion," "coma" and "nowparalyzed" are a few of the startling descriptions included in a new federal report describingthe complications from Merck & Co.'s Gardasil medication for sexually transmitted humanpapillomavirus
–
which has been proposed as mandatory for all schoolgirls.The document was obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration byJudicial Watch,aWashington group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, and it has detailsof 10 deaths just since September."Given all the questions about Gardasil, the best public health policy would be to re-evaluateits safety and to prohibit its distribution to minors. In the least, governments should rethink any efforts to mandate or promote this vaccine for children,
”
said Judicial Watch PresidentTom Fitton.The organization's work uncovered reports of about one death each month since last fall,bringing the total death toll from the drug to at least 18 and as many as 20. There also were140 "serious" reports of complications including about three dozen classified as life-threatening, 10 spontaneous abortions and half a dozen cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.The document reveals the case of an 18-year-old woman who got the Gardasil vaccine, wasfound unconscious that evening, and died. Another woman, age 19, got the drug and the nextmorning was found dead in her bed.

Death toll linked to Gardasil vaccine rises
The new documents also reveal a total of 8,864 Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting Systemrecords, up from a total of 3,461 that had been reported in a document just last fall.WND previously has reported how Merck was lobbyingstate lawmakers to require thevaccination, but said it would quit the campaign after its activities were unveiled.WND also reportedwhen a key researcher into human papillomavirus, which is targeted byGardasil, reported it needed more testing, and howeven the Centers for Disease Control suggested the vaccine should not be mandatory.That, however, has not diverted the building campaign to have legislatures adopt mandatoryvaccination plans.Judicial Watch said one of the reports, VAERS ID: 310262-1 (D), had this to say:"Information has been received
…
concerning a 20-year-old female with no medical historyreported, who on 01-APR-2008 was vaccinated with a dose of Gardasil
…
.The patient died fourdays after
…
patient sought unspecified medical attention. An autopsy was performed whichruled out suicide and anything suspicious." Another report said, "Information has been received from a physician concerning a femalepatient who on an unknown date was vaccinated with a dose of Gardasil. Subsequently, thepatient experienced a coma and is now paralyzed. At the time of this report, the patient'soutcome was unknown. VAERS ID: 303188-1"The target of the vaccine is cervical cancer, since studies show that those who have HPV havea higher chance of later developing cervical cancer. However, opponents note that suchcancers develop most often in older women, while the plan is to require girls as young as 11or 12 years old to be inoculated. They cite the lack of evidence that the vaccine would have animpact later in life. A Judicial Watch report said, "Even though Gardasil will not be fully tested for safety until2009, physicians are already pushing it as a routine, harmless vaccine. Merck's aggressiveadvertisement campaign tells young girls that their lives could be 'one less' affected by cervicalcancer and that, 'It's your turn to help guard against cervical cancer.'"The report also estimated it will cost as much as $2 billion to buy vaccinations for the nation'spoorest girls."This vaccine will be more expensive than all other childhood vaccines put together,"concluded John Schiller, a National Cancer Institute investigator.

Judicial Watch earlier uncovered reports such as this:"Initial and follow-up information has been received from a physician concerning an 'otherwisehealthy' 13 year old female who was vaccinated with her first and second doses of Gardasil.Subsequently, the patient experienced

paralysis from the chest down, lesions of the opticnerve
…
At the time of the report, the patient had not recovered."Officials with the Abstinence Clearinghouse noted in a position paper that groups including theTexas Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Association of AmericanPhysicians and Surgeons, and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine have comeout publicly against mandatory vaccination."The reasoning of these medical associations is clear. They are not opposed to medicalprogress, and certainly support all efforts to combat life-threatening diseases. The problem, asthese organizations see it, lies in the fact that the drug only went through three and a half years of testing, leaving the medical community somewhat in the dark as to what seriousadverse effects might result in the long term," the group said at the time."Along with the potential of serious adverse effects is the question of efficacy. There isevidence that after approximately four years, the vaccine's potency significantly declines. Thelong-term value of the vaccine has yet to be determined; if it wears off within six years, willgirls and women need to repeat the battery of injections they originally received?" theorganization wondered.Michigan was the first state to introduce a plan to require the vaccine to be given to younggirls, but the proposal failed. Ohio also considered a failed plan in 2006.In 2007 Merck's aggressive lobbying campaign and contributions to Women in Governmentresulted in proposals in at least 39 states to institutionalize such vaccinations.
