496 women given gardasil through a government sponsored program have experienced side effects of nausea, hallucinations, dizziness and paralysis.
" The National Vaccine Information Center yesterday warned state officials to investigate the safety of a breakthrough cancer vaccine as Texas became the first state to make the vaccine mandatory for school-age girls. Negative side effects of GARDASIL, a new Merck vaccine to prevent the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, are being reported in the District of Columbia and 20 states, including Virginia. The reactions range from loss of consciousness to seizures. “Young girls are experiencing severe headaches, dizziness, temporary loss of vision and some girls have lost consciousness during what appear to be seizures,” said Vicky Debold, health policy analyst for the National Vaccine Information Center, a nonprofit watchdog organization that was created in the early 1980s to prevent vaccine injuries." - Gregory Lopes, The Washington Times, Feb. 3, 2007
“Of the more than 25,000 patients who participated in clinical trials of Gardasil, only 1,184 were preteen girls. “That’s a thin base of testing upon which to make a vaccine mandatory,” says Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center, an advocacy group that lobbies for safer vaccines…Merck acknowledges that it doesn’t know yet whether an initial vaccination will offer lifetime protection or whether patients will need booster shots. So far, the company has shown only that the vaccine lasts five years…As part of its lobbying campaign, Merck has been funding Women in Government, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group made up of female state lawmakers…Merck declined to say how much money it has funneled into its lobbying campaign, or contributed to Women in Government. “Parents should be concerned that the only company that makes this vaccine is pushing behind the scenes for mandatory laws,” says Maryann Napoli, associate director for the Center for Medical Consumers, a consumer group based in New York…Mandatory vaccination across the U.S. would make Gardasil an automatic blockbuster for Merck at a time when the patents on some of its bestselling drugs are expiring and it’s desperate to replace their revenue streams. Gardasil’s sales in 2006 were $235 million.” - John Carreyrou, Wall Street Journal, Feb. 7
The FDA allowed Merck to use a potentially reactive aluminum containing placebo as a control for most trial participants, rather than a non-reactive saline solution placebo.[1] A reactive placebo can artificially increase the appearance of safety of an experimental drug or vaccine in a clinical trial. Gardasil contains 225 mcg of aluminum and, although aluminum adjuvants have been used in vaccines for decades, they were never tested for safety in clinical trials. Merck and the FDA did not disclose how much aluminum was in the placebo.[2]
Animal and human studies have shown that aluminum can cause nerve cell death [3] and that vaccine aluminum adjuvants can allow aluminum to enter the brain, [4 5] as well as cause inflammation at the injection site leading to chronic joint and muscle pain and fatigue. [6 7] Nearly 90 percent of Gardasil recipients and 85 percent of aluminum placebo recipients followed-up for safety reported one or more adverse events within 15 days of vaccination, particularly at the injection site.[8] Pain and swelling at injection site occurred in approximately 83 percent of Gardasil and 73 percent of aluminum placebo recipients. About 60 percent of those who got Gardasil or the aluminum placebo had systemic adverse events including headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, myalgia. [9 10] Gardasil recipients had more serious adverse events such as headache, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, asthma, bronchospasm and arthritis.

As to my own personal history, I gave some of it in the forums earlier. You are welcome to re-read my posts if you have forgotten them. I have used birth control once. It caused severe depression and weight gain, and infertility as well. I have spoken with women who developed cancers, leg clots that nearly killed them, infertility, PCOS, and other diseases from having used birth control. I have seen the pain of abortion not merely from one woman, but from my two sisters-in-law and my mother. Each regrets their decision. It tore my husband’s family completely apart. Four of my siblings were killed by abortions. Four lives completely snuffed out and they were innocent victims. They had done no wrong. Those abortions nearly tore our family apart. God is healing it, but it is slow in coming.
I’m not pigeon-holing you. I made an observation based upon statements you made. You say you don’t hate men but you spew it frequently. Perhaps you aren’t aware of it. You seem angry and bitter. I’m not hiding anything, I’m not judging you, and I’m not angry. I am speaking out because I care and because I think that if I can save even one woman from having to hurt this way, I’ll gladly be honest and open with the world about where I’ve been and what I’ve done. I threw away my gift of fertility with both hands because I didn’t see it as a gift. I abused my gift of sexuality and ended up feeling so broken, so used up, and so empty. I wish with all my heart that I hadn’t done those things, but I can’t change my past. All I can do is walk boldly into my future and tell every woman I meet who is considering doing those things about what lies on that path. Even if they don’t seem to listen, maybe I can plant a seed that God will water and help to grow.
