VRAN E-BULLETIN - HPV Vaccine Activism

[Guest guest]

Fears about the risks associated with HPV vaccine (Gardasil) continue to

escalate and dominate vaccine news in North America .  Following is one father's

letter demanding answers from health officials who are recklessly foisting this

vaccine on young girls, while ignoring increasing reports of injuries and deaths

associated with the HPV vaccine. We deeply appreciate the efforts made by

individuals who articulate their concerns to health officials and hold them

accountable for this latest mass experimentation being waged on our children.

HPV VACCINE ACTIVISM IN CANADA

   

October 7, 2008

Ms. a . . .

 

It's come to my attention that you will be launching the HPV vaccine into the

community.  As one who has just been marketed to, courtesy of the HPV package

being distributed by schools, I feel it's only appropriate to reciprocate by

sharing some observations and opinions with you.

 

A VCH (Vancouver Coastal Health) newsletter submission by you stated that the

" HPV vaccine is a safe vaccine that is highly effective in preventing infection

from four types of HPV that cause 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital

warts. " [1] May I ask what your sources are?  I can find no double-blinded

studies (by disinterested third parties) in support of your position.  Studies

are ongoing (see below), and, apparently, the jury will be out until, at the

very least, September 30/2009 (again, see below).  It is, therefore, by

definition, an unproven vaccine - an experiment.  On children.  Our children. 

  I'd like to bring your attention to the following quote:

" If vaccines are safe, then why have there been over 5,000 adverse reactions [as

of Sep. /07] reported from the Gardasil vaccine including 18 deaths of young

girls, paralysis, Guillaine Barre Syndrome, etc.? " (Marcia Staggs Abbott, author

of Shocking Discovery . . . What Have We Done to Our Children?)  [2] [3]

(N.B.: As of the 30th of June, 2008, that figure has risen to over 9,700 adverse

reactions.)

  Needless to say you must be aware of the reactions, deaths, paralyses, etc.

caused by the HPV vaccines.  The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA)

vaccine-reporting statistics clearly illustrate it is not a proven vaccine. 

Your decision to partake in this campaign does not speak well for your agency:

Either your organisation chooses to ignore the evidence - and risks being

accused of malfeasance (and the ramifications accompanying such an accusation) -

or, just as questionable, you are unaware of the latest and most up-to-date

information belying the use of the HPV vaccine. [4] 

Merck is one of the manufacturers currently under fire for aggressively and

unethically marketing their product at the expense of the public's health (and

pocket) and intellectual integrity of our health care providers.  No less than

the Wall Street Journal [5], The New York Times [6] and ABC News [7] have

expressed serious doubts about Merck’s intentions.

There are those who would say that Merck’s history has shown a propensity for

malfeasance or incompetence.  Vioxx  (MSNBC) [8], Zetia/Vytorin (The New York

Times) [9] and Rofecoxib (Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA])

[10] are well documented scandals that had either been covered up or had allowed

millions to be endangered.  I would not be inclined to risk my professional

career based on Merck’s " studies " .

Given the dramatic decline in the number of deaths from cervical cancer - in

spite of the promiscuity of the " love generation " - it would behoove your agency

to rethink its rationale supporting the distribution of HPV vaccines.  There

simply is no rationale (other than Merck's) supporting the implementation of an

HPV vaccine. 

" The American Cancer Society estimates that deaths from cervical cancer declined

[my emphasis] 74% between 1955 and 1992, and that the rate continues to decrease

by about 4% each year. Also, most cases occur in women in their forties. "

" The vaccine is still in the testing stages (final report due September 30,

2009), but it is already being administered to thousands of young girls and

women. " [11]

 

According to very recent research published in the New England Journal of

Medicine (NEJM), based on peer-reviewed science, there are serious doubts as to

the efficacy, economic justification, safety, and promotional ethics of the HPV

vaccine and its manufacturers.

“Despite great expectations and promising results of clinical trials, we still

lack sufficient evidence of an effective vaccine against cervical cancer,” Dr.

Charlotte J. Haug, editor of The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association,

wrote in a guest editorial in the NEJM. [12] [13]

 

As pointed out above, the epidemiological evidence simply does not support the

use of the HPV vaccine.  The numbers and target population have little bearing

on the use of this unproven vaccine.  The medical profession can't even rely on

the old standby of the benefits outweighing the risks.

 

The benefits are theoretical, the risks real.

These data contradict your position and, as one who is responsible for public

health, you certainly would not wish to put yourself in the unenviable position

of using corrupted data.  There is simply bad science underpinning unethical

marketing by a corporate giant out of control.

As an organisation that (I'm sure) considers itself at the cutting edge of

science, you no doubt should be aware of your peers' growing resentment of

having your belief systems sculpted by BigPharma:

“Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this

industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand

in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and

the medical profession itself.”  The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They

Deceive Us and What to Do About It, from an article written by former

editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), Dr. Marcia Angell

[14]

“ . . . an investigation in Australia reveals sponsor involvement in the

education of thousands of general practitioners.” British Medical Journal (BMJ)

[15]

“Reclaiming the ethics of medicine by removing conflicts of interest, and

restoring the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship” American Medical

Student Association (AMSA) [16]

 

As one who has been marketed to by yourself, representing your agency, I resent

the fact that those with the power to positively affect society are, instead,

choosing a path that puts not only families (mine included) at risk but allows

medical professionals to be co-opted for the benefit of pharmaceutical

companies.  Considering your CV [17] , you know full-well that the raison d’être

of some of the more unscrupulous medical marketers is to undermine medical

education, integrity and, certainly, your intelligence all in the guise of

" protecting the public " . Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher, Gwen Olsen (YouTube)

[18] [19] , Pharma Not in Business of Health . . ., Gwen Olsen (YouTube) [20]

 

Gardasil, by way of example, contains aluminum (see below), which has proven to

be a potent neurotoxin second only to mercury (Thimerosal).  The company is

being accused of marketing using bad science and the existing evidence

contraindicates the vaccine’s usage.  Dr. Abby Lippman (PhD), an epidemiologist

with McGill University , tells us, in an article published in the Canadian

Medical Association Journal (CMAJ):

 

“There is no epidemic of cervical cancer in Canada to warrant the sense of

urgency for a vaccination program initiated by the federal finance minister’s

announcement.” [21]

 

So, the “sense of urgency” is totally artificial.  Manufactured by Merck, ready

for distribution by health care providers.  Bought by unknowing parents and

politicians.

 

And yet, your agency appears quite willing to support an untenable position that

could endanger millions and ruin families.  The political fallout would be

enormous.

 

As well as the aluminum found in Gardasil, issues regarding the vaccine’s other

side-effects (aside from the deaths, paralyses and spontaneous abortions) have

arisen.  A direct quote from Merck’s May 18, 2006, meeting with the Vaccines and

Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) reveals:

 

“[Gardasil] . . . has not been evaluated for the potential to cause

carcinogenicity [i.e.: cancer] or genotoxicity.”  [22]

 

Outbreaks of warts (after the HPV vaccine) were reported to the Vaccine Adverse

Event Report System (VAERS).  The warts were not limited to the genitalia and

appeared on the face and hands.

 

It is unnerving that the HPV vaccine would also cause outbreaks of warts caused

by other strains of the

papilloma virus, possibly causing cancer.

 

Lest you believe that the “experts-who-teach-the-experts” are the pillars of

society and rational thinking, especially with regard to the scientific method,

may I direct your attention to the following damning quote from neuroscientist

Dr. L. Blaylock’s paper entitled The Truth Behind the Vaccine Cover-up:

 

“If the public knew what was discussed [at the aluminum meeting] no one would

ever get a vaccination using the presently manufactured types of vaccines

again.”

 

It is a critique of a behind-closed-doors meeting (held in 2000) entitled

Scientific Review of Vaccine Safety Datalink Information.  The conclusions were

deliberately kept secret – embargoed, if you will. [23]

 

Tens of thousands of health practitioners such as yourself come by their beliefs

honestly using heavily skewed (i.e.: false) data from “respected” sources.  You,

and our elected politicians, innocently base your personal reputations,

professional careers, and the lives of your own children and those of your

patients on data such as these.  Your agency is one of many upon which our

government relies for accurate and safe medical information.  And yet, you are

about to unwittingly (I hope) put Canadian governments at all levels in the

potentially humiliating position of having to explain to voters, the World

Health Organization (WHO) and other world leaders, how they could have allowed

our children to become guinea pigs.  A made-in-Canada disaster.

 

While you certainly cannot be blamed for believing in what you’ve been taught in

medical school, you and your organisation certainly must be held accountable for

perpetuating the fiction that the HPV vaccines are safe, especially given the

evidence presented here. It is your responsibility to correctly advise our

representatives in government.  They and their families, as well as yourselves

and millions of Canadians, have been misled by corporate interests in an

aggressive attempt to gloss over what may be the next Thalidomide.

 

As I have two daughters within the appropriate age range, I am very concerned

and would like to know what the sources of your information are.  Please direct

me to the publicly funded studies (conducted by   disinterested third parties)

that . . .

 

(a)   prove the safety of the HPV vaccine

(   demonstrate the efficacy of the HPV vaccine

©   present epidemiological evidence in support of your organisation's

position 

(d)   support your agency’s justification for this campaign in advance of peer

reviewed evaluation (ref.: Sep, 2009) – please provide references.

 

Perhaps a review of this material from the National Geographic website [24] will

provide some historical context for what the Communicable Disease Control centre

may be about to unleash upon society.

 

Unlike the insurance and financial industries, full disclosure seems to take on

a different meaning for your organisation.  There appear to be no issues with

violating the principles of rule of law.

 

As is obvious from the promotional package my daughters received, full

disclosure of the vaccine’s hazards is not being permitted.  They have been

asked to be lab rats.

 

" A lot of our patients are collapsing after the shot is given. It happens with

Gardasil more frequently than with any other vaccine we give. "   Gardasil

Vaccine: The Damage Continues, Barbara Loe Fisher, co-author of DPT: A Shot in

the Dark ( National Vaccine Information Center [NVIC]) [25] [26]

 

Your organisation’s poor interpretation of evidence-based medicine may result in

one of the greatest heartaches humanity has ever faced.

 

Before I make any decisions, I'd like to give you the opportunity to both put my

mind at ease and provide the references that indicate you and your organisation

have exercised due diligence.

 

Sincerely,

Rick Fontana
