Mom Says HPV Vaccine Caused Paralysis in 12-Year-Old

Brittany is a twelve-year-old who doesn't like to sit still.

The Florida girl played softball. She ran cross country. The plan was to

stay on the team and get a college scholarship, but those dreams drastically

changed.

" She was walking through my house and collapsed. She told me she couldn't

feel her leg. We went right to the hospital, " says Bell, Brittany

s mom.

Bell says there were no answers at first, but then she started to put the

pieces of the puzzle together. Two weeks before her daughter's collapse,

Brittany received her first injection of a vaccine called Gardasil.

" The doctor recommended we get the Gardasil shot and I'd been thinking about

it because I've seen it on TV all the time, " says Bell.

The vaccine, produced by Merck, is to help prevent contracting the Human

Papillomavirus or HPV. The virus causes 70 percent of cervical cancer.

Over the last year, the vaccine has been the center of moral controversy,

but little has been mentioned about the number of vaccine reactions reported

to the FDA. Recent news reports link an association with paralysis and death

with the vaccine.

" The reason I'm skeptical with this is this isn't a virus, " says Dr. Guy

Benrubi, an OB/GYN with Shands.

Dr. Benrubi says the HPV vaccine is one of the safest and he recommended it

to his own child.

" The immediate risks are minimal. The FDA looked at those. We have not seen

any major catastrophes, " says Dr. Benrubi.

Benrubi says the majority of complaints are patients fainting during or

after the shot. So far, more than four million vaccinations have been done

and nearly 4,000 adverse reactions have been reported.

" Even the worst case scenario, if you have four thousand in four million

that is a one to one thousand potential adverse effect, " says Dr. Benrubi.

The list of complaints range from temporary blindness, blurry vision,

convulsions, seizures and numbness in arms and legs that won't go away.

" If you know something is happening why do you let it continue? " asks Bob

Giuliano, Brittany's grandfather.

Giuliano and his daughter want answers as to how they didn't know paralysis

could be a possibility for Brittany.

" I am very angry, " says Brittany's mom. After months of physical therapy,

Brittany still has no feeling in her left leg.

Getting around is difficult. It's hard for Brittany to walk and balance and

she often needs a little help.

" She's mad. I can tell she's mad, " says Brittany's mom. A little shy,

Brittany did not want to talk to us, but she did want her story told so

parents and young girls know how her life has changed.

Now she is learning to cope with braces, crutches and a walker. " It's

changed everything for us, " says Bell.

Brittany's doctors have diagnosed her with Acute Demyelinating

Encephalomyelitis or ADEM. It is an inflammation of the brain that has been

associated with a vaccination.

" I think there is a little cart before the horse going on here. I'm not

saying this is not a good vaccine, but anyone who is going to have their

daughter or child have this shot, they need to be fully informed of risks or

potential risks associated with it, " says Cronin, Brittany's attorney.

Cronin says he can't go after Merck with a lawsuit because Gardasil is now

part of a federal fund which pays out to those injured from vaccines.

First Coast News has learned, Gardasil was added to the National Vaccine

Injury Compensation Fund just months after it hit the market. " The Federal

government would not put it on the list without medical scientific

justification, " says Cronin.

Brittany's family is filing an injury claim with the government. They are

also on a mission to spread the news of what they say can happen with the

vaccine.

The family also holds out hope that one day, old Brittany will be back

walking and running like she did once before.

" I do wish the doctor would have known and would have said there is a chance

that this could happen. If he would have said, I would have never done it, "

says Bell.

The FDA told First Coast News the adverse reaction reports are not a good

indicator of a direct cause or relation with an incident. The FDA also says

they have investigated several deaths but did not find any association with

the vaccine.

Merck told First Coast News it is unaware of Brittany's case. Merck also

says it actively monitors the adverse reaction reports and other databases

throughout the world.

As for the vaccine being added to the government vaccine fund, Merck says it

is their understanding that all new vaccines are added to the fund.

The Pharmaceutical giant says the latest numbers show that ten million HPV

vaccines have been given in the United States.

I have been studying my butt off, and demyelination is associated with many of

the vaccines.? This has been shown in scientific studies.? Don't be fooled by

the advertisements?about this?or any other vaccine.? The whole thing that this

vaccine prevents cancer is illegal to make such a false claim.?? There are many

who say that vaccines increase the risk of all cancers.?? This vaccine only

protects from a small amount of wart strains, when there are many more out there

that people are getting.? Also, this vaccine only protects for 5 to 10 years, as

do all vaccines.?? Thus, why give a 9 year old something that only works 10

years at best, and only protects against a few strains of?wart species?? We are

being fooled.??I knew?this?vaccine would?cause so much strife?because of all

the?complaints and strife the other vaccines are causing. ?I am hoping that this

vaccine will be the turning point in vaccine policy.? The vaccine manufacturers

have been blaming Autism, ADHD, SID's, etc. on genes and whatever else, and

because the babies are so young, it leaves room for doubt on all theories.??

But, with this vaccine being given to 9 year olds, it is more clear that the

vaccine is the cause of their demyelination, causing them to be crippled, die,

etc.

How the heck does the mandate to stop cancer justify this horrible
