“It looks as if an unproven vaccine with dangerous side effects is being pushed as a miracle drug,” says Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a public interest group responsible for investigating and prosecuting government corruption. The organization released significant documents today, obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
The documents detailed 1,637 reports of negative reactions to Gardasil, a vaccination for human papillomavirus (HPV). Three deaths related to the vaccine were reported. One patient receiving the vaccine died of a blood clot only three hours later, and two other patients, girls ages 12 and 19, died of heart problems and/or blood clotting.
Of the 1637 negative reactions contained in the May 11th report, 371 were serious reactions. According to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), out of 42 women who received the vaccine while pregnant, 18 of them – a shocking 42% - experienced serious side effects such as spontaneous abortion and fetal abnormalities.
Patients are warned of side effects such as pain, fever, nausea, dizziness and itching by the drug manufacturer, Merck & Co. These typical side effects account for 77% of the 1637 adverse reactions to Gardasil. But more serious side effects including paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, seizures, and blood clots are not mentioned, and account for the remaining instances of negative reactions to the drug.
Merk & Co is currently campaigning to make the HPV vaccine mandatory for young girls. Fitton warns state and local governments to take a look at these reports, which “reads like a catalog of horrors”.
Judicial Watch filed an information request on May 9, 2007 and received the VAERS report on May 15, 2007. They are posted on the Judicial Watch website at: http://www.JudicialWatch.org
