CDC Looking at Gardasil-Related Problems

A number of problems with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination Gardasil have been identified since South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds made it available at taxpayer expense.

In addition to concerns from the American College of Pediatricians, Dr. Diane Harper, a lead researcher for the vaccine, has criticized the aggressive marketing campaign of the drug.

There have been several deaths tied to Gardisil.

LifeSiteNews reports that deaths and side effects from the drug are becoming so commonplace that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is starting an investigation into complaints.

Judicial Watch, a public interest group, has closely monitored Gardasil since it was released by creator Merck in 2006, periodically detailing statistics on the numerous side effects users have experienced. The most recent report alleges that the drug has been responsible for 21 deaths and 9,749 adverse reactions, including 78 outbreaks of genital warts and 10 miscarriages.

As daunting as these current statistics are, it seems that even they may be gravely underestimating the health risks associated with using Gardasil. A study by the New England Journal of Medicine claims that only about 10% of drug induced side effects are reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

If you’re considering immunizing your daughter with Gardasil, you might want to think twice.
