Yup- that vaccine is bad news. And since the product is grossly misrepresented, the minimal benefits in no way balance the risk. The manufacturer claims the drug is 90-100% effective in protecting against two kinds of HPV's that cause 70% of cervical cancers. What they don't tell you is that 90% of these HPV infections clear up on their own! So they can really only claim 0-10% improvement on nature. When you factor in the other 30% of HPV's it doesn't protect against at all, there is almost no benefit whatsoever to receiving this vaccine. It's a complete hoax!
I've read about these adverse reactions almost since Gardisil came out on the market. My daughters won't be receiving it. People would be a bit surprised if they did a little research and saw the route this drug took to get approved. Just a little suspicious...
OK. The study first. The vital number missing from the study is the number of recipients of the compared vaccines. Without that data it is simply impossible to know if the rates of adverse reactions are in any way statistically significant. Furthermore as it is only a reporting of some of the adverse reactions we don't know without consulting the raw data what other complications the study chose to leave out. A truly fair study would have shown all the adverse reactions for both vaccines. In short a seriously flawed study.
Now for taking any information from the National Vaccine Information Center. Take a look at the groups website, nvic.org. This is an anti vaccine website still pushing anti thimerosol hysteria despite overwhelming scientific evidence that thimerosal had no effect on human health through vaccines.
Vaccination is one of the most successful public health efforts of all time. Buy into the hysteria about vaccination and you may have the privilege of watching your child die from polio or scarlet fever or, yes even, cervical cancer.
My daughter's doctor refused to give her this prior to going to college simply because she felt there was insufficient information about long term results and effects.
However that is not the case with polio, mumps, measles, german measles, whooping cough etc. On the older vaccines we have more than sufficient information to know their value and safety. BTW re whooping cough, which is the one people usually refuse to give - I'm old enough to remember friends being quarantined because of this. Siblings and one parent needing to live away from home for two weeks. There is a risk of adverse effects with any vaccine, but not nearly as great as the risk of the disease.
