Dear PROVE Members,

[Please read AAPS’s recent summary on Merck’s HPV

vaccine. Forward it to parents of girls so they

can hear from physicians very concerned about the

damage this vaccine is doing. This is posted

Judicial Watch reports on the Gardasil public health experiment

August 25th, 2008

Based on records obtained under a May 2007

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request,

Judicial Watch has summarized the approval

process, side effects, safety concerns, and

marketing practices related to the human

papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil. It calls

these a “large-scale public health experiment.”

One of the most startling findings is 78 cases of

outbreaks of warts following the vaccine in women

already infected without knowing it. Besides

genital warts, some patients experienced massive

outbreaks on the face, hands, or feet, sometimes

caused by strains not included in the vaccine.

Additionally, the vaccine could increase the

incidence of CIN 2/3 (cervical endothelial

neoplasia in moderate stage) in women who had

persistent infection with “vaccine-relevant” HPV

strains at baseline. A chart in a report of the

Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory

Committee (VRBPAC) showed an efficacy rate of

–44.6% (that’s a minus sign) in subjects already

exposed to “relevant HPV types.”

On June 25, 2008, the FDA denied Merck’s

application to expand marketing of Gardasil to

women aged 27 through 45. The FDA refused

Judicial Watch’s request for a copy of the letter

to Merck, stating that it may be available under FOIA.

Merck also failed to win approval to expand the

vaccine to more strains and has reportedly dropped plans to do so.

Most tests with Gardasil were done against an

adjuvant-containing “placebo,” rather than a

nonreactive saline base, possibly making the

vaccine seem safer than it actually is.

In its report to the FDA, Merck noted that “it is

not known whether Gardasil can cause fetal harm

when administered to a pregnant woman.” It

reported that 27% of pregnant women experienced

an adverse reaction upon receiving the vaccine,

and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System

(VAERS) contains 45 cases of spontaneous abortion following Gardasil.

A pre-condition for fast-tracking Gardasil was a

requirement for a safety surveillance study,

which will not be complete until June, 2009.

Nonetheless, intensive marketing continues.

A total of 8,864 VAERS reports have been filed,

including 38 of Guillain-Barre syndrome and 18

deaths, 11 occurring within one week of receiving

the vaccine. Association, of course, does not prove causality.

Mandating HPV vaccine is a matter of the public

good vs. private rights, states andra M.

, J.D., who worked under contract from

Merck with the Washington University

Medical Center to study Medicaid coverage for HPV

vaccine. The intimate mode of transmission is “a

distinction without a meaningful difference”;

therefore, legal precedents justifying mandates

should apply to Gardasil, she writes (N Engl J Med 2007;356:1998-1999).

In an article that appeared in MedScape on July

26, and was quickly taken off the website, Diane

Harper, M.D., a principal chief investigator in

clinical HPV trials, was quoted as saying, “The

side effects that have been reported are real and

they cannot be brushed aside.” She suggested that

physicians not vaccinate patients with personal

or family histories of the more serious

complications, which have included neurologic

disorders, thromboembolism, and autoimmune conditions.

“The cause of recent complications remains a

mystery and it is difficult to know whether they

are linked to vaccines,” the article stated.

Two physicians, a cardiologist and a

rheumatologist, say they regret their decision to

immunize their 17-year-old daughter and will not

encourage his younger daughters to receive the

vaccine. After being vaccinated, their eldest

went from being a healthy athlete to a

chronically ill patient. He worries that other

girls may be struggling with immune damage,

feeling achy and unwell, but going undiagnosed and unreported.

Gynecologist Christiane Northrup, M.D., appearing

on the Oprah Winfrey Show, told viewers that she

wouldn’t advocate vaccinating her daughters, and

that medical dollars were better spent elsewhere.

The FDA and CDC issued a joint statement

reassuring the public and physicians of the vaccine’s safety.

MedScape was accused of “germ theory denialism”

(apparently for suggesting that it might be

fruitful to investigate how most patients

successfully fight off HPV) and “antivaccination

myths.” It was also criticized for having the

“chutzpah” to run a poll on how physicians were

reacting to the reports about adverse events and

the FDA/CDC advisory, and the poll has apparently been pulled also.
