UK: Monday, 16th June
2014: A meeting was held
with the Shadow Minister for Public Health, Luciana Berger MP and with other
politicians to give families of girls injured by HPV vaccines the opportunity
to share their experiences and for their voices to be heard. We appreciate
the time given to us by the Minister and the Press Release on behalf of the
families is a record of what was presented on the day.
All these families ask
for is to be respected, to be listened to and, most importantly, to be
believed. There are only so many times you can say that this is a
coincidence.
Monday, 16 June 2014: We would like to thank Luciana Berger, MP Shadow Minister
for Public Health, her Parliamentary Assistant Kat Thompson, The Countess of
Mar from the House of Lords, Pat McFadden, MP, Joe Benton, MP, Mary Creagh,
MP and Tom Fieldhouse, researcher in the office of Oliver Letwin, MP for
taking the time to meet the parents and girls who had an adverse reaction to
the HPV vaccines.
From the presentations given we
would like to highlight a few very disturbing points which we hope Ms Berger
will take on board and ask relevant questions. The points made are not unique
to this group of families from the United Kingdom. They are the same for many
families around the world.
§ Serious loss of education and the opportunity to interact with
their peers socially;
§ Young girls’ mental health being questioned without
justification; psychiatric care being promoted time and time again;
§ Threatening behaviour towards families by health care
officials;
§ Families being accused of fabricating their daughters’
illnesses;
§ Inadequate duty of care from health care officials;
§ Lack of knowledge by medical doctors and consultants on how to
recognize and treat the vaccine injured;
§ Medical doctors who believe illnesses were caused by the HPV
vaccines but are too afraid to speak out.
This sadly is how it is in the UK
at the present time. A very important point was made below, ‘these are real
people in real situations and it does not matter whether it is a Conservative
or Labour government, as politicians you are elected to speak on our behalf
and work on our behalf at all times.’
All these families ask for is to be respected, to be
listened to and, most importantly, to be believed.
The undernoted presentations were given by girls who
were injured by an HPV vaccine and parents speaking on behalf of their
daughters.
Julie Jones, Mother Of Stacey Jones, Bilston, Midlands:
My daughter Stacey had her first Cervarix vaccine on 15th November 2008, aged 17, and we
noticed that her mood changed following this vaccination. After the second
jab in January her aggressive behaviour was more noticeable and then after
her third vaccination in May 2009 she became very disorientated which
increased in intensity, couldn’t sleep and that was followed by partial
seizures which then developed into full blown seizures.
There were many serious faults here with the NHS, not
treating our daughter correctly, sending her to a psychiatric hospital which
could not help her but thankfully they recognised her illness was a medical
illness and she was sent home.
New Cross Hospital at that time let us down badly and
that was when I made contact with my MP, Pat McFadden. Pat gave my family a
lot of support for which we are very grateful. Over a period of time
Stacey was allocated a place at the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust –
Stacey spent 12 weeks there relearning simple tasks and she was also assigned
a neurologist from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
Stacey was officially diagnosed with Anti-NMDA receptor
encephalitis – an autoimmune form of encephalitis – NOT VIRAL ENCEPHALITIS.
According to NHS Choices, in ‘rare’ cases this condition has followed
vaccination. It is strange then that at the same time a young girl
called Paige Brennan also from the Midlands was vaccinated with Cervarix and
was also diagnosed with the same autoimmune condition as Stacey – not so rare
after all.
Now after five years of great improvement in Stacey’s
health and being able to go to University, we are devastated that she has had
a re-occurrence of this autoimmune form of encephalitis – Stacey was admitted
to hospital where she received the best of treatment which was so much better
than the last time – I can report she has just been allowed to go home with
further rehabilitation to take place. What does the future hold for our
daughter – according to the MHRA there are no serious adverse reactions to
the Cervarix vaccine – well that is not the case.
Ashleigh Cave, Liverpool:
My name is Ashleigh Cave and I received the HPV Cervarix
injection in October 2008 when I was twelve years old. Within an hour of
having the injection I had extremely bad headaches. I was going for a routine
doctor’s appointment and the doctor said I was suffering from possible side
effects of the vaccine and that I should start to feel better in the next
forty eight hours. Only I never and over the course of the next week I
suffered from severe flu like symptoms and I had no energy to stay awake.
My legs became so weak that I was admitted to hospital
as I couldn’t walk or move my legs. I suffered with excruciating pain and was
put on a concoction of eight different painkillers. I had tests, scans and
x-rays yet they all came back inconclusive. At this point, the doctors didn’t
know what was wrong and came to the conclusion that my health issues were
psychosomatic. I had to have a full psychiatric assessment which came back in
my favour that my health problems were not in my head. So their next move
then was to try and blame my mum. They got social services involved and we
were threatened that I would be taken into care if my mum did not stop
speaking to the press. All in all I was in Alder Hey Children’s hospital for
twelve months where I had intensive Physio and Hydrotherapy sessions daily.
I can now walk, however I am limited as I have never
fully regained the strength back in my legs. I had health problems before I
had the injection, such as Noonan syndrome, pulmonary stenosis,
bronchomalacia, bladder problems and chronic asthma. Since I had the
injection, everything I previously suffered with was intensified. I have had
three surgical procedures to try and help my bladder so I do not have to rely
on self-catheterising and administering treatment weekly and I am constantly
picking up every cold that is going meaning I am quite frequently in hospital
as it affects my chest.
Every girl who has had a reaction has had different
health backgrounds, some having previous medical problems and some having a
clean bill of health. Some girls have been affected in different ways ranging
from paralysis, to having seizures daily but the one thing we all have in
common is the fact we have all received this injection. The past five and a
half years have been horrendous for me and my mum but what makes it worse is
the fact that girls are still having this injection and are still being
damaged.
How many more girls have to go through this before
someone will take notice and listen? How many more families have to be
blamed before being offered support and finally how many more lives have to
be turned upside down before we get the recognition and medical help we need
for what we are going through?
Emily Ryalls, Ossett, W. Yorkshire:
Hello, my name is Emily. I’m 16 years old and have just
completed my GCSE year in high school.
I’d like to thank you for this opportunity to
share my experience of the HPV vaccination as well as being able to speak on
behalf of other girls. I’m incredibly nervous, as you can probably tell, but
so grateful for you taking the time to listen to me today.
I had the HPV vaccination 3½ years ago. I became ill
after the first jab, the 2nd jab
worsened my condition and after the third jab the visits to A&E started.
At first I had complete faith in doctors. Then I was labelled with ME/CFS and
I realized this meant that doctors didn’t know what to do with me.
I was so ill, I was missing lots of school, missing my
friends and the only treatment given was to see a psychologist. My pediatrician
wanted me under the care of a psychiatrist. Every doctor I saw refused to
consider vaccine damage and none of them reported it.
After 2 years and a lot of research, we found a
specialist who confirmed I had POTS – Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia
Syndrome, which is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Everything
that the body should do automatically doesn’t work properly for me,
especially when I’m sitting or standing up. It affects every part of my body
– eyesight, heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, digestion and especially
cognitive problems, which I hate the most because I often feel humiliated in
school and it’s affected my education so much.
I’m finally under a neurologist who is trying to help me
and who has confirmed my POTS is a result of vaccination.
The only thing that has got me through the last 3 years
has been the support of my mum and family and having such a great group of
friends. I can’t begin to imagine how hard it is for the girls who don’t have
this support.
Although as a group, we all have different stories; we
all share the HPV vaccination as the trigger. The question is how many more
girls have to go through this before something is done?
Thank you.
Brianna Price, Newport Pagnell:
I’m Brianna, and I’m 15 years old. I had my first and
only dose of Cervarix in September 2011, when I was 12 years old. I then
experienced my first symptoms 3 weeks after in October, when I’d just turned
13. I went to my GP and had a wide range of tests done but they all came back
negative. 6 months later I was diagnosed with CFS/ME by a Great Ormond Street
consultant.
Before the jab I’d represented my school in athletics
and won them medals, been dancing since I was 2 – I’ve now had to stop this,
performed at the Royal Albert Hall and even done some TV work in a BBC drama
series.
In the beginning of being ill I was bullied at school. I
had people laughing at me, saying I was faking, and even hurtful comments
like ‘why aren’t you dead yet?’ I’ve lost all of my friends but one
friend because I wasn’t in school and I couldn’t go out with them so now I’m
just not invited anymore. It has taken 2 ½ years to get me from 0% attendance
to 30% in school, with me doing 12 hours a week maximum.
I have 6 monthly pediatrics and Great Ormond Street
check-ups and monthly psychology and physiotherapy sessions. (I got
discharged from CAMHS because it wasn’t helping). I have to take tablets to
sleep. If I don’t take the tablets I don’t sleep at all that night. I also
have chronic back pain which I’m on medication for and when it’s at its worst
I can’t breathe properly because of it.
Since then I have also been diagnosed with Raynaud’s, hyper
mobility and postural hypertension.
My mum thought it was the best idea to allow me to get
the vaccine, but if we knew then what we know now about it, I would never
have had it.
When we first saw the Great Ormond Street consultant we
asked him did he think the vaccine had caused my illness. He replied, “All I can say is I’m treating
a lot more girls following the vaccine.”
Presentation With Reference To The Autoimmune Condition Alopecia:
(For the sake of her daughter, mum is not sharing her name – but she
presented in full to the Shadow Minister)
My daughter is 13- the youngest of our 3 children. She
has 2 older brothers aged 18 and 21. We are a very close knit, fun loving,
happy family and all 3 children are extremely close.
Sport and particularly swimming is in the family, the
lads have won medals at national level and my daughter has club
records. She also has a gold medal for gymnastics and trampolining. She
used to play water polo for fun.
She had her 3 Gardasil HPV immunizations, for genital
warts, in October 2012 then January and April 2013. On each occasion she had
a significant reaction and with hindsight we wouldn’t have let her have
number 2 and 3 but we can’t turn back the clock now! She was lethargic, had
muscle fatigue, lost her appetite, stopped her beloved sport and had time off
school (unheard of) and her periods stopped. In April 2013 following her 3rd jab her hair started falling out in
clumps, she lost her eyebrows, lashes and by the summer of 2013 she was
totally bald.
I want to share with you the medical professions
reaction as I believe this helps mask the bigger HPV picture…
One Dr said and I quote, “These things happen and Jemma
needs to move on…”
Another, “This is
quite common around the 12/13 year age group”…not surprising
in my mind since this is when the immunisation is given.
When confronted with the possible link, the doctor was
extremely dismissive and didn’t offer the opportunity of yellow carding the
vaccination (which I believed was meant to be a procedure carried out post
thalidomide). I did this under my own steam and told him
retrospectively what I had done. I was not popular for taking this course of
action.
This may be why the recorded numbers of side effects are
quite low…..you have to be proactive….
Friends who are GPs have said off the record that
Gardasil was and is the cause of her ill health; but for fear of the backlash
are not prepared to put their heads above the parapet.
In summary, she no longer does any sport, her school
attendance is poor due to total lack of energy, and she sleeps 14+ hours a
day and her periods have still not started. Her lack of hair has turned her
from a fun loving outgoing and positive person into a self-conscious and
reclusive child.
We have explored every avenue for antidotes and
suggested courses of action but this has been done with no backing from the
very people who should be there to support us.
Clare Ramagge, Reigate, Surrey:
In 2009, Dr Jawad pediatrics consultant, demanded why I
had allowed my daughter to have the third Cervarix vaccination? We were
advised that he had previously highlighted the link between the vaccination
and side effects of arthralgia and he verified this concern to Crispin Blunt
MP for Reigate. Mr Blunt successfully secured a debate in Parliament to
highlight the fact that formally fit healthy young girls were experiencing a
number of severe adverse reactions. He highlighted the fact that there
was a lack of a robust compensation scheme or mandatory warning system to
report such adverse reactions and he questioned the suitability of school as
an environment in which to vaccinate children.
In Rebecca’s case, when standard treatment did not cure
her, concerned pediatricians brought in multi-disciplinary teams. As
described by Dr Leonard Jason, social psychologist, “As a
group otherwise caring professionals can commit acts of cruelty that they
would not be capable of as individuals.”
We were threatened with legal action if we did not agree
to her being sent to a lock up psychiatric unit for eating disorders even
though she did not have an eating disorder. They tried to put different
labels on her but never diagnosed a psychiatric problem and tried to Section
her. After 16 months, a new social worker to Rebecca’s case, with the advice
of Dr Nigel Speight, Lady Mar and a solicitor secured Rebecca’s discharge from
the unit. Rebecca is still very poorly but being cared for at home by her
family, GP, Nurses, nutritionist and a consultant lead. This consultant, an
immunologist who also specializes in ME/CFS, explained to the GP that it is
likely that it was the Aluminum in the vaccine that triggered Rebecca’s very severe ME.
On all of Rebecca’s notes there is reference to her
deterioration starting straight after the first vaccination. 2 consultants
have made reference to the vaccine, one to query why she had been allowed to
follow through with it and the other to point out the link with Aluminum
being the trigger. Rebecca will never get back the 6 years she has lost as a
consequence of having this vaccine and we as a family will never recover from
the treatment we have received from some of the so called professionals
involved in this case. Rebecca remains positive and hopeful of a recovery but
like all the other girls affected, she deserves to have recognition as to the
vaccine being the cause, she deserves better treatment and better support.
Points Raised By Steve Hinks, Carol Green And John Ramagge:
Steve Hinks:
Before the meeting with Luciana Berger, MP, Shadow
Minister for Health we held a pre-meeting with other political
representatives. During the discussions we were advised that our
daughters are what are known widely as ‘vaccine collateral damage’ i.e. unintended
casualties. We were grateful for this open and honest comment which is
certainly not typical of the Department of Health and National Health Service
because most of the families have been told many times, and in writing, that
this vaccine is safe and the many side-effects reported are not attributable
to the vaccine.
In fact many families are blamed for causing the
unexpected and inexplicable illnesses and investigated for Fabricated or
Induced Illness (FII, previously known as Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy).
Not content with turning the blame on parents many NHS health professionals
have told blatant lies to FII investigators which can be proven by their own
material evidence obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
We were also advised to sum up our expectations in a
maximum of just two points for maximum effect, rather than a long list.
§ Point 1: The DoH and NHS must share
the truth and facts related to the HPV vaccine and investigate the unexplained
illnesses rather than blame the parents. These investigations should be
coordinated at national level. We have many examples of statements
in writing from Health Directors and Consultants that this vaccine is safe
and not the cause of the adverse reactions, yet the number of Yellow Card reports
to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is 10 – 100
times more than for the other common vaccines. Statistics obtained from the
MHRA under the FOIA were presented to Ms Berger. In 5 years the number of
reported reactions to HPV vaccine is 16,726 of which 2,661 are considered
serious, including four deaths. Parents also highlighted that they had
been discouraged from raising Yellow Cards.
§ Point 2: Collateral damage arises in
different quantities – it can be small or large and those agencies involved
in collateral damage usually at least take preventive action to reduce and minimize
it. Given the data reported to the MHRA it is evident that the quantity of reactions
reported by Yellow Card are significantly more than for any other vaccine and
therefore the use of this vaccine must be stopped until it can be proven to
be ‘reasonably’ safe. It
must be remembered that this vaccine is expected to reduce incidence of
cervical cancer but so far there is no evidence that it will and, since it is
accepted that it is not effective against over 15 types of HPV which can
cause cervical cancer, the Smear Test will always have to be in place,
irrespective of immunization. This test is safe, extremely efficient and cost
effective.
Carol Green, Mother Of Injured Young Woman Katie:
For the Minister to consider that a consultation by the
NHS and government should be a top priority in order to review guidelines
when a child presents at hospital or GP surgery with a possible adverse reaction
to a vaccination. If this was to become a reality, rather than being
dismissive, there would be a set of clear procedures for physicians and
doctors to follow to establish whether the vaccine was the likely cause or
not.
Then appropriate treatment and support (both emotional
and financial) can be given to the children and their families so that they
would not have to endure what so many families have gone through since the
HPV vaccination programme was introduced in the UK in 2008.
As the HPV programme had been promoted and underwritten
by the government, they are responsible for ensuring these children receive
adequate recognition and compensation if the vaccine is considered to be the
cause of their injuries.
John Ramagge:
John pointed out to the Minister that his MP, Crispin
Blunt had introduced his daughter’s case to parliament in May 2009 and at
that time Labour was in government. This had followed the Minister’s
claim that as she was not in government at the present time, there was little
that she could do. In 2009, the very questions and points raised by
Crispin were belittled by Dawn Primarolo but John wished to make the Minister
realise that although she is in shadow government at the moment, as a
politician she and her colleagues need to take this matter seriously.
These are real people in real situations and it does not matter whether it is
a Conservative or Labour government, as politicians you are elected to speak
on our behalf and work on our behalf at all times.
All that families ask is to be respected, to be listened
to and, most importantly, to be believed.
As one politician recently said, ‘There are only so many times
you can say that this is a coincidence’. He is right.
We do hope now that similar meetings for families with
injured girls can be arranged with Jane Ellison, Minister for Public
Health. This would give the families the opportunity to share their
experiences also with the Government Health Team. The Shadow Health
Team treated our families with great courtesy and with compassion and it
would be excellent if both Health Teams could discuss this issue amongst
themselves as this is a national issue and one to be taken seriously.
Former
Merck Doctor Predicts Gardasil Will Become 'Greatest Medical Scandal Of All
Time'

(NaturalNews)
A top physician who used to work for drug giant Merck & Co., creator of the
Gardasil vaccine for cervical cancer, has made some groundbreaking public
admissions about the dangers and ineffectiveness of this controversial jab.
During a recent interview with the French magazinePrincipes de Sante,
Dr. Bernard Dalbergue confessed that Gardasil is a worthless vaccine that not
only fails to protect against cervical cancer but also puts individuals at risk
of paralysis, encephalitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and a host of other
debilitating ailments.
Suggesting that Gardasil will eventually become recognized as "the
greatest medical scandal of all time," Dr. Dalbergue railed against its
approval and continued use, claiming that "everyone" involved with it
knows that it's completely worthless. Dr. Dalbergue also brought up another
researcher by the name of Dr. Diane Harper who was involved with both Gardasail
and Cervarix, the two approved vaccines for the human papillomavirus (HPV). As
we we previously reported, Dr. Harper had previously blown the whistle on the
dangers and ineffectiveness of these widely pushed vaccines.
"The full extent of the Gardasil scandal needs to be assessed," reads
an English translation of the interview, which was originally published in
French. "[E]veryone knew when this vaccine was released on the American
market that it would prove to be worthless! ... In addition, decision-makers at
all levels are aware of it!"
Vaccine industry, government know Gardasil is dangerous and
ineffective
According to
Dr. Dalbergue, industry insiders are fully aware of the fact that Gardasil can
cause permanent, life-threatening damage to the central nervous system. They
know that the vaccine can leave patients unable to walk, for instance, or
function normally without extreme fatigue or pain. They also know that Gardasil does nothing to protect people from
cervical cancer, the disease for which it is pushed aggressively on young
people, both male and female.
"I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical
scandal of all times
because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this
vaccine, technical and scientific feat that it may be, has absolutely no effect
on cervical cancer," he stated. "[A]ll the very many adverse effects
which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate
profit for the manufacturers."
America: A Cesspool Of Pharmaceutical And
Vaccine Corruption
Bringing such information to light represents a threat not only to Dr. Dalbergue's personal career, but also the careers of his former colleagues, many of whom are fully aware of all this but are likely fearful of going public with it. And for good reason, as American investigative journalist Katie Couric, who recently aired a segment discussing the adverse events associated with Gardasil, was targeted and essentially threatened into issuing a public apology for it.
Perhaps this is why Dr. Dalbergue chose to speak his mind to the French media
rather than the American media. As you may already know, pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturers have free reign in the
U.S. to sell all the dangerous medicines they want to without repercussions,
thanks to corrupt laws that protect them from being sued.
"U.S. law prevents anyone from suing Merck or any other vaccine manufacturer as
the U.S. Congress gave them total immunity from civil lawsuits in 1986, and
that legal protection which gives them a free pass to put as many vaccines into
the market as they want to, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011,"
explains Health Impact News.
"In addition, the National Institute of Health receives royalties from the
sales of Gardasil. So don't expect objective, true information from the U.S.
mainstream media, or your U.S. doctor."
