Gardasil: We Thought It Was The Right Choice
JULY
23, 2015 By Gayle Dickson,
Auckland, New Zealand
We thought Gardasil was the right choice.
Essentially, our lives rocked along
with the usual family squabbles, snotty noses, heat rashes and teenage pimples
… nothing really major to concern ourselves over. Until the youngest, our
daughter, started at College! Then all hell broke loose! In her final primary
year (Year 8), we’d received notices regarding Gardasil. I was about to toss
them in the bin, when the words “cervical cancer” caught my attention. My
skin prickled and my eyes widened – we have a great deal of female cancer
history on both my side and hubby’s maternal side … breast, ovarian, cervical
… so I read on! I then did some very basic research, going onto Merck’s site,
discussing it with friends etc.
Some friends cautioned outright
against it; others were 50/50 and still others were, like: Why wouldn’t you
if it can prevent cancer? Given that I couldn’t find anything specifically
negative in my searches at that time, we came to the conclusion that we
should go ahead.
There was no immediate reaction to
the vax … even after the third shot …. Apart from the odd sore arm, short
term headache and a slight feeling of not being quite right, but we ignored
that as normal for vaccinations. She left primary and went off to college …
vibrant, healthy, getting good grades, participating in all manner of sports
and, often to our mind, taking on too much!
About six months later, things
began to crumble … she complained most nights about being extremely fatigued
to the point where she was in bed by 7.30 every night. Okay, she was always
an early-to-bed-early-to-rise girl… But this was beyond even her capacity for
sleep!
We then noticed that she was
starting to wake tired, too. It wasn’t long after that when the nagging
nausea started. Then she started slipping with her grades and we succumbed to
extra tutoring. She kept complaining of “not being able to pay attention or
keep up” and saying things like “I’m just so stupid, mum!” Initially,
we told her that she was now in college and needed to buck up her ideas, work
harder, etc.
Visits to the GP were fruitless….
endless blood tests, urine and stool samples etc … all proved nothing. They
just kept stone walling us with more and more scripts that achieved nothing
and, in my opinion, exacerbated the issues! Most times, they merely concluded
that it was all in her head!
By now, the joint pains had
started, too. We wrote these off to her demanding regime competing nationally
and internationally at cheerleading, and berated her for not being fit enough
and not working on her core strength enough.
Eventually, about 3 years ago, we
went off to see an iridologist who’d worked wonders for a friend with gut
issues. He took one look at my daughter’s ridiculously blue eyes and said her
acid levels were off the scale.
He immediately commenced a detox program and
had her off dairy, gluten and sugar in a flash. We plodded through this
regime for 3 months, slowly noticing an improvement in her attitude, behavior
and energy. Phew, we thought, things were back to normal. Even when we were
able to resume a normal diet, we did however, stick to the gluten-free aspect
as that seemed to set her off again when re-introduced to her diet… but sugar
and dairy came back in with no adverse reactions.
Sadly, the peace and quiet didn’t
last. It wasn’t long before the nausea and fatigue crept back again, only
this time it was accompanied by anxiety and depressive bouts, too. The GP had
prescribed about four different anti-nausea tablets, none of which really
helped and three of which make her so tired she couldn’t take them at school
for fear of falling asleep at her desk!
He then put her on The Pill –
according to him, this might help regulate hormonal imbalances! He gave her
Losec and other antacids.
In fear that we were facing cancer
or something just as evil, we requested a gastro scope only to be told the
wait list was six months. A ranting mother in a doctor’s waiting room can
work wonders – we were in within weeks instead! However, that showed clear –
no lumps, blockages that we need concern ourselves over – the stomach and
duodenum appeared normal.
Biopsies were taken with a cold
forceps for Helicobacter pylori testing so that they could do an evaluation
for coeliac – bearing in mind she’d lost about 10kg over about a year through
not wanting to eat most of the time. Those results are now in, and she’s
clear of Coeliac.
Frustrated beyond all belief, I
went to see a holistic GP – not a cheap exercise, but we were at wits end.
Within minutes of our consult with him, he asked if she’d had the Gardasil
vax … OMG, light bulbs exploded in my head, my heart raced and my hands went
clammy! Really, was it that simple?
Haha – simple? I really kidded
myself with that one, didn’t I?
He did some further questioning and
honestly seems to believe her symptoms are all related … and the timing
certainly is impeccable. She wasn’t his first, it seemed – there had been
quite a few … and his alarm bells were geared to look out for the symptoms.
The hair analysis he ordered showed
a sensitivity to dairy. The bloods he ordered showed that her iron levels
were “depleted” – not even a number alongside – they’ve just recently gone up
from 6 to 13 – the first time an iron supplement has actually absorbed within
her since this whole mess started thanks to having them injected rather than
taking oral supplements!
For the last few months, he’s been
working with us to boost her immune system, clean out toxins and generally
fix what didn’t actually need to be broken in the first place. He has been
fantastic in terms of providing me with information on Gardasil as well as
other vaccinations.
We are intravenously injecting
Vitamin C (which can at times make her feel awful as her blood pressure is
horrendously low post-Gardasil). We’re are also taking SA (Sodium
Ascorbate powder) in high doses, as well as Lypospheric Vitamin C.
I inject her with B12 every couple
of weeks. She’s on the following supplements: Vit D, iron, magnesium, St
Mary’s Thistle, NAC and Ashwaganda.
She’s also started on Sacromyces
Boulactis, aloe concentrate and Kombucha, and a host of others I can’t recall
right now – suffice to say, I thank heavens for iHerb.com!.
We have managed to secure some very generous donations through a Give A
Little page set up by a friend (https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/tawnidickson)
without which we may not have been able to continue with some of her
expensive treatments.
We are attempting reflexology and
acupressure points to ease the constant nausea, as well as seeing Anthony and
Fay at Stillpoint for a variety of osteophathy sessions – one to help relax
and the other to detox the aluminium deposits. She’s also seen a wonderful
kinesiologist who is helping with the pain and tension in her backs and
shoulders.
We have also been dealing with
outbreaks of boils (which have now appeared to stop thanks to upping her B12
levels). At one stage her breasts started leaking quite heavily (worse than
mine did through both pregnancies!) – we discovered this was a direct result
of one of the anti nausea pills … yet again, a known side affect of a medication
that was never pointed out to us … we had to research it ourselves!
We have good days, bad days, and
really bad days. It’s not often a day goes by without at least some
queasiness, pain or anxiety creeping in. We are all trying to remain
positive, but the tears very often flow – from her and us!
Most days during school term, she
attempted to go to school chipper; within hours we usually either heard her
car in the driveway or we’d get a call from the school nurse that she is so
ill she couldn’t drive herself home ….on those days, I thanked God I don’t
work for a boss and am self-employed!
Her school attendance got so bad,
sometimes not attending for up to two weeks, that we have now, in conjunction
with her teachers and with their full support, decided to home school in
order to complete her final year in College. At this stage, we aren’t sure
what she’s going to do about University studies that she was so intent upon,
as there is no way she could cope. She is currently looking at correspondence
courses to achieve even a Diploma level.
I’m at the point where I’m
collating data madly. I am now living 18-20 hour days, fitting in work
somewhere amongst the medical appointments and then frantically reading,
researching, messaging and chatting to all and sundry. Running ragged, but
determined to do something to get my nearly 18 year old back to her former
self.
We’ve recently met and chatted with
so many other mothers, fathers and daughters going through the same or even
worse symptoms, and it’s made me realise how important it is for these girls
to know they’re not alone … and for us mothers and fathers to feel that we
have an outlet. Thank God for social media and the support groups.
Over and over the Facebook posts in
groups such as this, I’m very keen to set up a regular get-together over
coffee (or wine!) and nibbles so that we can all vent, share solutions and
start to regain our lives again. If anyone is in the Auckland region and
keen, do message me on E: gayledd@me.com. Parents or girls are welcome
to ring me, too: C: +64-21-2817699.
I refuse to allow this vaccine to
continue harming our girls and am doing everything in my power to bring it to
the attention of the media and authorities. I’ve had two interviews done …
one has already been ”shelved” as they maintain that I can’t provide
scientific proof that the vaccine is to blame! Go figure!
But I won’t give up …. Another
interview should hopefully see the light of day soon, and I’ve had talks with
a member of the Waitemata (Auckland) District Health Board, and am trying to
get to see our Minister of Health. I’m also pushing local MP’s to sit up and
take notice!

Gardasil: We Thought It Was The Right Choice

Gardasil Firestorm In Denmark and HPV Vaccines: Updates From Central And South America
Gardasil Firestorm In Denmark and HPV Vaccines: Updates From Central And
South America
JUNE
21, 2015 By Norma
Erickson
In March 2015, a Danish national
television station (TV2) aired a documentary focusing on girls who suspected they had
been injured by the HPV vaccine Gardasil. Immediately after the
airing of the show, girls with similar experiences started coming out of the
woodwork. Virtually all of the girls had the same story to tell.
They began to have serious new
medical conditions shortly after using Gardasil so they would go to the
doctor. According to Luise Juellund, the vast majority of doctors would tell
them the HPV vaccine has no serious side effects and offer psychological
problems as an alternative reason for the new symptoms.
Luise should know, her daughter
is one of the seriously injured and cannot be left home alone because of
daily seizures and hour-long periods of unconsciousness. After disclosing the
new symptoms she was experiencing after Gardasil, she was referred for
psychological evaluation. Psychiatrists cleared her and she has now been
diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) a suspected
side effect of HPV vaccines.
According to Peter la Cour, Head
of the Center for Functional Disorders in Copenhagen, the practice of
refusing girls the opportunity for medical examination and treatment on the
grounds that psychological problems can cause similar symptoms is terrible.
He states:
The
handful of girls I’ve seen has not been mentally ill, but very physically
sick and disabled. We simply cannot have sick people rejected under the
assumption that they are mentally ill. None of us know anything about why
they are so sick. Alleged knowledge of psychological reasons is scandalous
character assassination of the young women.
Serious Adverse Reactions Reach One In
500
Denmark is divided into five
healthcare regions. On June 1, the government established a single point of
entrance in each one of these regions to accept and examine anyone suspected
of having a negative reaction to Gardasil. The response was overwhelming.
The influx of girls seeking care
was 60% higher than expected, suggesting the harmful effects was greater than
Danish health authorities had foreseen. By June 9th, the waiting list to be
evaluated was at least six to nine months long. (See map below.) Two of the
five centers did not know how long the girls would have to wait.
Jesper Mehlsen from
Synkopecenteret at Frederiksberg Hospital is one of the specialists who takes care of
the girls. He stated:
We
thought it (the serious adverse event rate) was about one in 10,000 people
who had side effects. Now it turns out that there are at least two per 10
000. Suddenly it was doubled.
Unfortunately, the avalanche of
girls seeking medical diagnoses and treatment after their HPV vaccinations
continued to increase.
Only two days later, on June
11th, Dr. Jesper Mehlsen had to revise his estimate of the number of injured
girls stating:
A realistic estimate is that one in 500 girls – or 1,000 of
the 500,000 vaccinated experience serious side effects.
Dr. Mehlsen helped to research
the HPV vaccine and personally vaccinated 3,000 girls. Now, he operates the
regional intake center in Frederiksberg and will be in charge of coordinating
work across the country. He noted that as of June 11th, 360 girls had been
referred for study.
Dr. Stig Gerdes fears this is
only the tip of the iceberg. He stated:
It
will not it surprise me if we end up reaching several thousand who have been
sick. I even stopped administering Gardasil a few years ago, after
vaccinating about 100 patients.
More
than a handful of them became ill after the vaccine. Several of them
very, very seriously and completely devastated.
Is HPV Vaccine Safety Based On
Mere Guesswork?
Danish Health Minister, Nick
Haekkerup, and the National Board of Health continue to defend the use of the
HPV vaccine Gardasil despite the more than 600 young girls suspected of
becoming seriously ill from the vaccine.
Both still claim the vaccine is
safe and the benefits outweigh the risks.
Experts who are working with the
injured girls disagree. Coordinator of the Danish Society of
Obstetrics and Gynecology’s national guidelines for HPV vaccination,
Gynecologist Jeppe Schroll states:
We
can simply not say because we do not know. There is so much uncertainty in
the studies that were made on the vaccine – so it is a pure guess. It may
well be that they (the health authorities) are right, but it could just as
well be the opposite.
His opinion is reinforced by Dr.
Diane Harper, who helped develop Gardasil for Merck and stated:
There
is no data to substantiate that the benefits outweigh the risks. The truth is
that we know very little about the side effects of the HPV vaccine.
Dr. Schroll suggests that
Merck’s own analysis of possible serious side effects is based on a
questionnaire which clinical trial participants completed two weeks after the
vaccine was given.
In the years since, women are
asked whether they have received ’new medical conditions.’
According to Dr. Schroll, this
provides a high degree of uncertainty. Some may get sick during the first 14
days, but women who become ill later may not connect it to the vaccine.
Dr. Schroll stated another
source of error is that in the last major Danish/Swedish study among a
million girls only looked at those with a diagnosis; not necessarily those
with a list of symptoms such as debilitating paralysis of the arms and legs,
pain, chronic fatigue, sudden daily fainting, daily migraines and dizziness –
like the more than 600 Danish girls currently referred for evaluation.
According to Dr. Jeppe Schroll:
I
think the reason why they have not found the side effects in the studies is
that they have not been looking for them.
Experts Weigh In On HPV Vaccination
Policy
Danish GP’s believe one should
examine the many sick girls who are suspected to have had adverse reactions
to Gardasil before even considering implementing Gardasil 9.
Deputy Chairman of the
PLO and member of the Board of Health’s vaccination committee, Niels Urich Holm agrees, stating:
We
know too little about the side effects. We fear first, that it (Gardasil 9)
might have more side effects than the current one (Gardasil), which has
greater side effects than other vaccines. And secondly, we believe that it
would be prudent to await the investigations currently going on in all
regions to find out about the disease and symptoms we have seen in a number
of girls, maybe caused by the vaccine. Therefore, one should wait to
introduce the new HPV vaccine, which is being approved for use in Denmark
until the five new regional HPV centers have studied the sick girls who
received the current vaccine properly.
SF (Socialist People’s
Party) spokesperson Ozlem Cekic also backed up the GP’s request that the
cautionary principle be applied when she stated:
I
do not understand why the National Board of Health is so eager to launch a
new HPV vaccine. I think overall that the Agency has behaved foolishly in
this case, where they have been too slow to react. We can see that many girls
may have become ill by severe side effects. It shall be fully investigated.
She also stated that the
Socialist People’s Party will take HPV vaccine issues up politically after
the election and shall require deeper insight into the documentation
underlying the vaccine.
Health Rapporteur
Liselott Blixt of the
Danish People’s Party was one
of the people who led the effort to get the HPV vaccine Gardasil introduced
in Denmark in 2008. She now wants it abolished. She states:
The
fact that we have so many, perhaps up to 5,000 young women who suddenly
become so sick must have the consequence that we simply stop the vaccine. I
was the first who said a big ‘yes’ to it, but now I will also be the first to
abolish it, because we politicians must take responsibility for ensuring that
we have adopted it. Not least in light of the fact that we do not actually
have any treatment options to offer the most sick.
Let’s hope the authorities in
Denmark follow expert advice and make sure that young women’s health is no
longer sacrificed for the promise of a benefit fifteen to twenty years from
now.
No healthy young woman
should have to sacrifice her health to see if a cancer prevention experiment
will work!

Are HPV vaccines the number one
cause of coincidence around the globe?
Are we facing one of the worst
epidemics of mass hysteria the world has ever seen? Apparently, health
authorities around the world would like us to believe one of these two
scenarios.
Almost without exception,
survivors of new medical conditions after the administration of Gardasil or
Cervarix are told their problems are coincidental, psychosomatic, mass
hysteria, conversion disorder, and so on…ad nauseam. The health authorities
in one country (Colombia) even went so far as to attribute new medical
conditions after Gardasil to the overuse of Ouija boards.
If all of the above fail, the
next step is to try and blame the new symptoms on the parents with phrases
like Munchausen by proxy, factitious disorder, fabricated or induced illness,
attention seeking, simply out for money, and so on.
The first problem with all of
these theories is they are usually put forth after little or no medical
investigation. This leaves parents who believed their health authorities and
had their daughters injected with the newest miracle vaccine feeling
confused, abandoned and betrayed by the very people they trusted to protect
their children’s health and well-being.
The second problem with all of
these theories is they delay potentially life-saving treatments which could
be provided if investigations took place, accurate diagnoses made and
treatment protocols designed and implemented.
Read the
following updates and ask yourself – What is wrong with this picture?
Colombia: First Reported Fatality After Gardasil
On May 22, 2015 16-year old
Karen Durán-Cantor died after complications related to new onset autoimmune
disorders believed to have been triggered by two injections of Gardasil, the
human papillomavirus vaccine currently being given to school age girls
throughout the country.
Karen received her first
Gardasil shot at the end of 2013 and the second one a few months later in
early 2014. According to her mother, Karen’s hands got swollen almost immediately.
She began to experience joint
and finger pain that was diagnosed as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Despite
receiving medical therapy, her disease progressed forcing Karen to stop
attending school due to the constant severe pain. Consequently, she was not
able to graduate from high school with her classmates.
Karen and her family sought a
second opinion in Bogotá’s Clinica Colsubsidio where she was also diagnosed
with pleural effusion requiring drainage to help her breathe. By this time,
Karen had lost the ability to walk. She could not go to the bathroom or take
a shower by herself. She had nearly constant pain on the right side of her
body (the side where the Gardasil injection was administered). Karen
frequently complained she was short of breath and it was difficult for her to
breathe.
Just prior to her death, Karen
experienced difficulty breathing and required oxygen. She was referred to La
Samaritana Hospital in Bogotá where she was admitted to the Intensive Care
Unit where she developed fatal respiratory failure.
These are photos of Karen before and after her Gardasil injections.
Please note this dramatic change occured between the end of 2013 and the
middle of 2015 – approximately a year-and-a-half.
Despite her personal pain, Karen produced a video to warn others about the possible consequences of
using Gardasil shortly
before her death.
This is the first documented death after the development
of autoimmune disorders following the administration of Gardasil in Colombia.
In addition to the pain and grief this family has
already had to endure, they have a long journey ahead of them as they attempt
to locate a forensic expert to determine the exact cause of their daughter’s
death.
Karen’s family is not alone in Colombia. Hundreds of
girls have developed new medical conditions that may have been triggered by
Colombia’s recent mandatory HPV vaccination program. The Colombian National
Institute of Health did carry out an investigation. The lead investigator was
Dr. Fernando De La Hoz, a prominent epidemiologist, who resigned after
concluding that the adverse events developed by the girls was a result of
mass psychogenic disease.
What is wrong with this picture?
Mexico: Several schools cancel HPV vaccinations
Gardasil was introduced in Mexico in 2008,
but only to 125 targeted municipalities with the ”lowest human development
index” which were estimated to have the highest incidence of cervical cancer.
The quadrivalent HPV vaccine was delivered to these communities via mobile
health clinics to girls who were 12-16 years of age using the currently
recommended dosing schedule of 0, 2, and 6-months.
In 2009, the program was expanded to include 182
municipalities, still with the ”lowest human development index,” but this
time with the first two doses being delivered at 0 and 6 months and the third
dose 60 months later (5 years) and the targeted girls being ages 9-12.
Considering the current Supreme Court Case in India,
one has to wonder… Were these parents informed of the fact their daughters
were participants in a clinical trial to determine appropriate dosing
regimens?
Why did both programs target girls in so many locations
with the lowest human development index? What was the rate of adverse events
among the participants?
In 2011, Mexico’s National Immunization Council approved
a nationwide expansion of its HPV vaccination program to include school-based
HPV vaccination for all 9-year-old girls.
Two months before leaving office in 2012, Mexican
President Felipe Calderon made HPV vaccination mandatory for all 11-12 year
old girls.
According to Chapter 4 of the Comprehensive
Cervical Cancer Control: A guide to essential practice, published on February 11,
2013 by the World Health organization, Mexico is currently using alternative
dosing schedule, which is not approved or recommended by WHO at this time.
(verify on page 6)
May 2015, after only 500 doses of Gardasil were
administered under this program, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS)
had to cancel the HPV immunization program at some schools because parents
were refusing to allow their 9-year-old girls to receive the injections.
What Is Wrong With This Picture?
Brazil: Uptake Of HPV Vaccine Drops From 83% To 40%
In 2012, Gardasil sales in Japan generated $140 million.
In 2013, the Japanese Health Ministry rescinded its recommendation for the
use of HPV vaccines causing Merck to look for replacement markets.
By August of the same year, Brazil had agreed to set
aside almost $160 million for the purchase of HPV vaccines for use in 2014.
But, 2014 would not be Brazilian girl’s first exposure
to Gardasil. According to an article published in Elselvier’s Trials in Vaccinology in 2013, clinical trials using Gardasil were
being conducted in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil during 2010, 2011 and 2012.
According to the abstract, the objectives of these
trials were:
Assess
vaccination coverage in that municipality after adopting several strategies
for active search and missed opportunities for vaccination against HPV.
Evaluate acceptance for the vaccine and reasons for refusal the HPV vaccine.
Evaluate the frequency and occurrence of adverse events to that vaccine. A
survey of reduction of genital warts was also conducted.
The paper goes on to state that between September 2010
and December 2012, approximately 90,000 doses of Gardasil were used. This number
of doses should have covered 30,000 recipients.
However, the ’evaluation of the frequency and occurrence
of adverse events’ consisted of conducting a survey of 1,000 randomly
selected teenagers to be followed up on 96 hours after vaccine administration
to evaluate safety and tolerability.
The authors stated the results of this survey as
follows:
There
were observed a total of 430 local and systemic events in 360 subjects (36%
of 1000 girls), stratified by each dose received. No serious adverse events
or any hospitalization were reported;
96 hours; only four days? Are these people serious? How
can the safety and tolerability of any vaccine be accurately assessed only 4
days after administration?
Nevertheless, the authors’ conclusion confidently
stated:
According
to our results, it seems evident that the good coverage achieved by
vaccination against HPV in Campos dos Goytacazes, coupled with no serious
adverse events to the vaccine reported throughout the study, point to the
feasibility of this vaccination strategy, which can also be used in other
municipalities. Taking into account not only the benefits but also the
results with regard to the reduction of genital warts, amply demonstrated by
international studies [18] and [19], we then seek to suggest
the inclusion of HPV vaccination in the Brazilian calendar.
By the end of the same year this study was published,
Brazilian health authorities had committed nearly $160 million precious
healthcare dollars to the purchase of Gardasil for their 2014 national immunization
program.
Between March and May of 2014, 83% of the targeted girls
(ages 11-13) in Brazil had received their Gardasil injections. By the end of
the year 100% of the targeted 4.9 million girls had been vaccinated.
During the same period (March through May) this year
another 4.9 million girls (ages 9-11) were targeted, but only 40.2% of them
took the vaccine. Could it be because of stories like these?

GARDASIL: R.E.G.R.E.T. Support Group and Korey’s Gardasil Story – If I Could Turn Back Time
 Gardasil Survivors in Ireland Launch Support Group
JUNE
4, 2015
The R.E.G.R.E.T. Support Group was
launched recently in Ireland by parents of chronically ill teenage
girls. These parents blame an injection the girls received at school as
the cause of their daughters’ illness. The drug in question is called
Gardasil and is being marketed as an anti-cancer vaccine. R.E.G.R.E.T. is
an acronym for“Reactions and Effects of Gardasil Resulting in Extreme
Trauma”.
Members of ten families from all
over the country came together to share experiences and express their
exasperation at the inability of health authorities to recognize the pattern
of serious adverse reactions being suffered by children who, up until
receiving the Gardasil injection, enjoyed an active healthy lifestyle. One of
the main complaints raised at the meeting was that the information provided
by the HSE (as part of the ‘informed consent’ process) is extremely
misleading, particularly with regard to how safe the vaccine is.
High incidences of serious
reactions have been reported in the U.S ever
since Gardasil was released there in 2006. Even the drug manufacturer’s
own clinical trials reveal a 1 in 40 (2.5%) incidence of a
serious adverse reaction*, yet Irish parents are still told by the
HSE that Gardasil is ‘very safe’.
Although its cancer-preventing
properties have never been proven, the HSE insists that the benefits of
Gardasil outweigh the risks and even claim that it has been ‘fully tested’.
This is despite the limited safety testing that took place as a result of
this “life-saving vaccine” being fast-tracked through the regulatory approval process. HSE did
not inform parents that Gardasil contains genetically engineered non-human
recombinant DNA, the effects of which are unknown and
unpredictable when injected into a human host.
The types of long term
debilitating health conditions reported by Irish parents have in many cases
meant that the girls are unable to continue their education in school.
Because of the nature of the chronic illnesses, Irish doctors and consultants
are unable to offer any effective treatment. With 1 or 2 rare exceptions,
medical professionals dismiss these serious reactions as unrelated to
Gardasil and merely coincidental. When tests come back negative, parents are
often told that their girls simply have psychological/psychosomatic problems.
The group also launched the
website www.Regret.ie, where
parents can read first-hand accounts from Irish victims and their families.
The site is a focal point for raising awareness among other parents whose
daughters have yet to receive the injection, with the schools vaccination
program set to resume in September.
The group can be contacted at Support@Regret.ie
According to Catherine
Weitbrecht, spokesperson for R.E.G.R.E.T.,
Since
the group was formed, 4 new parents with daughters injured by Gardasil have
come forward via the website to join our group. 2 of these stories are
particularly horrendous. One is so depressed she has to be watched 24/7;
the other has a bleeding disorder so bad that she could literally bleed
to death if she has a small accident. The third girl had POTS and the fourth
has seizures.
It seems Gardasil and other HPV
vaccines are causing the greatest epidemic of ’conversion disorder’ the world
has ever seen.
*According to the FDA a serious
adverse event must fit one of the following criteria: death,
life-threatening, hospitalization, disability or permanent damage, congenital
abnormality/birth defect, or the requirement to intervene to prevent
permanent impairment.
