“The tragic story of Gardasil vaccine is one that is playing out real time in the homes of trusting parents, who thought they were doing the right thing to try to make their daughters “one less,” and in the 21st century cyberspace forum of public opinion as well as on television.”
Barbara Loe Fisher, President and co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC):
The Gardasil Marketing campaign is one of egregious deception. With its catchy tune and wholesome images, mothers and Doctors who don’t take the time to do their own research are drawn into a misleading, intricately drawn lie. Merck has come up with a billion dollar fix to a non-existent problem. Cervical cancer is no longer a clear and present danger to modern teenagers with access to normal preventative health care and PAP tests. We are putting a generation of young women at risk and ‘playing dice’ with the reproductive future of our nation. The FDA, CDC and a raft of either uncaring, or simply corrupt, political hacks are taking Merck’s money and looking the other way, while an unsafe drug and a flawed medical hypothesis are irreparably harming our girls and bankrupting public health care coffers.
While the FDA and CDC refuse to take action, well-meaning mothers are being deceived into thinking the Gardasil HPV vaccination will protect their daughters from cervical cancer, and some of them are now wondering HOW and WHY their young child died or became suddenly paralyzed.
Another GARDASIL VICTIM’S Story
A month after 13 year old Jenny Tetlock was vaccinated against the HPV virus, she missed the lowest hurdle in gym class. It was the first sign of a degenerative muscle disease that 15 months later left her nearly completely paralyzed.
Her father, Philip Tetlock, a professor at UC-Berkeley, has embarked on an odyssey to find out whether the vaccine, Gardasil, is to blame.
Tetlock is not the only one concerned. The public watchdog group Judicial Watch has been periodically obtaining adverse event reports on Gardasil from the FDA. 10 deaths have been linked to Gardasil since September 2007, and there have been 140 reports so far this year of serious side effects such as miscarriage and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

I have two daughters that have been affected by the Gardasil Shot. One daughter is severe. I am very passionate about stopping this vaccine and spreading the word to others. One thing I feel people are forgetting is that Merck isn’t the only one making lots of $$ off this vaccination – the Clinics, Hospitals and Doctors are too. The Doctors are pushing this vaccine on the front side and then reaping the $$ awards on the back side all while saying they aren’t related. They are related! We need to make Doctors more accountable too. On another note, I cannot believe the Medical Insurance Companies have not complained due to the additional $$ they are paying in medical claims after the vaccination is given (mine didn’t pay for the vaccination, but is paying for the adverse affect after the fact). We need to get this vaccination off the market NOW!

Kathee,
My writing partner, Leslie C. Botha (www.holyhormones.com) and I are currently producing a Garasil report that follows the Merck money trail. Your point is well taken. Doctor’s need to recognize their responsibility in this unfolding tragedy. We are playing dice with the reproductive health of our next generation. Thank you for bring up the insurance coverage angle. I hadn’t researched that yet. As parsimonious as the insurance industry has become, perhaps enlightened self- interest will bestir the insurance executives to action and join the fight to stop Merck’s Marauders.
Leslie and I hold your family in our thoughts and prayers. Moms of the Gardasil Girls are using sites like ours to reach out to one another, compare notes and share information. You are not alone, and other women, who understand your pain and frustration, are here to support you. Each and everyone of us are ready to be very inconvenient women indeed, to Merck, the FDA, CDC and medical establishment.
Best Wishes To You and Yours,
H. Sandra Chevalier-Batik
