Parents Beware. School physicals are right around the corner. Parents should be cautious about allowing their daughters to receive the vaccine Gardasil. Why? Because it's an unproven vaccine, for the Human Papppiloma Virus (HPV), a disease only transmitted through sexual activity (STD). The vaccine is marketed, as a means to prevent cervical cancer. But Gardasil does nothing to prevent the strain causing 30% of cervical cancers.
Here's more to worry about. Gardasil has a track record of dangerous side effects. There have been more than 47 deaths related to the vaccine. There are 1,061 serious reports of complications, 142 of which were life threatening. The side effects include, 147 spontaneous abortions and 29 cases of Guillain Barre Syndrome. Guillain Barre is a neurological, devastating syndrome.
Why would any parent have their daughter inoculated for behavior? There are some interesting insights on the complications. The first rule of medicine is, whether the benefit of the drug is worth the risk to the patient? Consider the following. Sixty-two girls developed venereal warts after receiving the vaccine, even though Gardasil is designed to prevent two strains of genital warts and is not supposed to react with other HPV strains. To make matters worse, 21 girls developed warts on other areas of their body, most commonly the face, hands and feet. And in one case, all over her body.
Parents are usually just following their doctors recommendations, and have no idea, there are side effects or risks to a vaccination. FDA's Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System reports, show that, since June 2008, 235 cases have involved permanent disability. Say No to Gardasil.
