Dear all
The Citizens of Japan suffering from convulsions, seizures,
severe headaches, partial paralysis and a host of other adverse events after
submitting to HPV vaccinations have petitioned their government health
officials to permanently suspend the use of 'cervical cancer' vaccines.
According to testimony presented
to the National Health Ministry by Dr. Sotaro Sato, who has examined many of
the injured girls:
"...the convulsions, inability to walk, and involuntary
movements of hands and toes were caused by encephalomyelitis, or inflammation
of the brain and spinal cord. Cervical cancer vaccines, which are chemically
bound to special types of adjuvants, often trigger encephalomyelitis. Since
the vaccines cause auto-antibodies against the brain's neuronal fibers to be
produced in many cases, they have triggered demyelinating disorders. They
have also induced many cases of cerebral vasculitis."
The SaneVax Team would like to
personally thank Ms. Toshie Ikeda, Hino City Assembly Legislator and
Secretary General, Secretariat of the Nationwide Liaison Association of
Cervical Cancer Vaccine Victims and Parents for providing us with the
following newspaper account of their presentation of five petitions to Health
Minister Norihisa Tamura.
The official newspaper account from
Japan is attached. The article is posted here - http://sanevax.org/breaking-news-japan-and-hpv-vaccines/ -
Please circulate this to everyone
you know. It should serve to encourage those in other countries who are
fighting to obtain the same things these brave people are fighting for.
Perhaps more governments can be convinced to act responsibly.
With best wishes,
Mrs. Freda Birrell

KYODO AUG 24, 2013 ARTICLE HISTORY
Teenagers
injured or disabled by cervical cancer vaccines are stepping up efforts to
permanently end the government’s subsidy program for injections of Cervarix
and Gardasil.
On Friday, eight teens, accompanied by their parents, called
out health minister Norihisa Tamura over the issue. The schoolgirls, aged
from 14 to 18 — including four in wheelchairs — and their parents are members
of the Nationwide Liaison Association of Cervical Cancer Vaccine Victims and
Parents.
Tamura was handed five petitions in a meeting with the group
at the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry, association chief Mika Matsufuji
said afterward. The request to abolish the vaccination program topped the list.
The other petitions included one asking for stronger
government efforts to identify the cause of the side effects and to find
therapeutic remedies. The side effects range from convulsions and seizures to
severe headaches and even partial paralysis.
In April, the Diet revised the Preventive Vaccination Law so
that girls aged 14 to 18 could get the cervical vaccine shots for free.
But an advisory panel to the health ministry later urged that
the government stop recommending vaccinations for cervical cancer after
concluding the reported symptoms were likely being caused by the vaccines.
The ministry reportedly complied on June 15 by telling local
governments to stop recommending that girls 12 to 16 get vaccinated with
Cervarix or Gardasil in light of reports about chronically adverse reactions.
The local governments, acting on behalf of the central government, had been
telling teens to get the shots.
At Friday’s meeting with Tamura, the schoolgirls, parents and
the association asked the government to revise the vaccination law again to
officially remove cervical cancer vaccines from the list of those subsidized
by the central government.
“There is not a single moment when I am not suffering pain,
and I want the government to find a remedy,” said a 17-year-old high school
senior from Yokohama.
“I do not want the government to resume recommending this
vaccine.”
The girl said she started getting severe pains throughout her
body, including her head, after receiving her third Cervarix injection in
April 2011. The process requires three injections in six months.
A 16-year-old in a wheelchair whose hands and legs were
convulsing during the meeting with Tamura and at the news conference, said
she can’t possibly be alone.
“There must be numerous girls who are suffering symptoms
similar to mine without knowing their conditions stem from the vaccines.
“I took this action (going to the press) because I want those
girls to become aware of the link” between the vaccines and their disorders,
she said.
Toshie Ikeda, a member of the Hino Municipal Assembly who has
been secretary-general of the association and attended Friday’s meeting with
Tamura, quoted him as saying: “I am aware of the necessity to create a team
to study this problem and gather information on the actual state of damage
that has been inflicted nationwide.”
Matsufuji, whose daughter is among the four in wheelchairs,
quoted the minister as telling the petitioners that the decision will be made
after the government completes its investigation.
According to Dr. Sotaro Sato, who has examined many cervical
vaccine victims, the convulsions, inability to walk, and involuntary hand and
toe movements are being caused by encephalomyelitis, or the inflammation of
the brain and spinal cord.
“Cervical cancer vaccines, which are chemically bound to
special types of adjuvants, often trigger encephalomyelitis,” he said.
“Since the vaccines cause autoantibodies against the brain’s
neuronal fibers to be produced in many cases, they have triggered
demyelinating disorders,” he said, adding they have also induced many cases
of cerebral vasculitis.
Cerebral vasculitis causes the body’s immune system to attack
blood vessels in the brain, often leading to hemorrhaging, said Sato, who
runs a hospital in Osaki, Miyagi Prefecture.
The marketing of Cervarix, made by GlaxoSmithKlein PLC of
Britain, was approved in 2009. This was followed by Gardasil, made by Merck
Sharp & Dohme (better known as Merck & Co. in the U.S.), in 2011.
The ministry says that it has received a total of 1,968
reports of adverse reactions and that 3.28 million girls had been vaccinated
as of March 31. The association says that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Ikeda said doctors often reject pleas from their patients’
parents to file reports about adverse reactions, which are needed to obtain
compensation from the government.
This is either because they are afraid of being held
responsible for the shots or because they are ignorant the vaccines can
produce side effects, he said.
