There are thousands of stories of girls, boys, and families that have been devastated by adverse events related to the vaccine targeting HPV. The pictures above are just a fraction. Many media sources seek to paint the complex adverse event stories after HPV vaccine as a psychosomatic hysteria. Are there honest scientists investigating the potential of harm from this vaccines? Below are many published papers with questions about the Gardasil vaccine causing serious adverse events. I’ve compiled this list – which is not meant to be exhaustive – to demonstrate that there are a lot of questions about this vaccine. Despite real safety concern doctors and media continue to push hard for families to accept this vaccine, and some states are seeking mandates for all school children of this vaccine which targets a sexually transmitted illness. Other states are reducing the age of consent in an effort to get young teens to accept this vaccine without their parents knowledge. Parents are faced with a choice. What do I do? Who do I trust? How do I discuss this with my pre-teen?

Other neurological manifestations may occur owing to unexpected abnormal autoimmune responses such as autonomic dysfunction and pain. It is important to inform patients prior to inoculation and observe the occurrence of abnormal symptoms. Moreover, it is critical to intervene promptly and treat the patient when fatal deterioration is observed. We believe that additional studies are needed to assess the possible causal relationship between the HPV vaccine and neurological complications and to evaluate the safety of the vaccine.”

We retrospectively described a case series including 18 girls (aged 12–24 years) referred to our ‘‘Second Opinion Medical Network’’ for the evaluation of ‘‘neuropathy with autonomic dysfunction’’ after HPV vaccination. All girls complained of long-lasting and invalidating somatoform symptoms (including asthenia, headache, cognitive dysfunctions, myalgia, sinus tachycardia and skin rashes) that have developed 1–5 days (n = 11), 5–15 days (n = 5) and 15–20 days (n = 2) after the vaccination. These cases can be included in the recently described immune dysfunction named autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA).”

The described symptom clusters are remarkably similar and include disabling fatigue, headache, widespread pain, fainting, gastrointestinal dysmotility, limb weakness, memory impairment episodes of altered awareness, and abnormal movements. This constellation of symptoms and signs has been labeled with different diagnoses such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), small fiber neuropathy (SFN), myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), or fibromyalgia. It is known that autoimmunity and autoantibodies are present in a subset of patients with CRPS, POTS, SFN, ME/CFS, and fibromyalgia. This article proposes that vaccine-triggered, immune-mediated autonomic dysfunction could lead to the development of de novo post-HPV vaccination syndrome possibly in genetically susceptible individuals.”

15. “Hidden Toxicity of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Ingredients”. Introduction: “Recent publications originating from Italy, Japan, Australia, Columbia, India, Ireland, Denmark, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Canada, France, the USA, and the United Kingdom have reported post-HPV vaccination phenomena that share overlapping clinical features with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), fibromyalgia (FM), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), small fiber neuropathy (SFN), and autonomic dysfunction (AD) [1,2]. Typical symptoms include (but are not limited to) prolonged generalized fatigue, chronic headaches, widespread generalized pain, tremors, orthostatic fainting, postural tachycardia, alterations in gastrointestinal motility, gait disturbance, anxiety, paresthesia’s, sleep disturbance, learning impairment, difficulty in concentration, and other cognitive phenomena [1–6]. These reported phenomena have created hesitation by some parents to have HPV vaccination administered to their teenage children. The following case history adds to the growing list of adverse HPV vaccine-induced reports and provides insight into disease causation via an in-depth analysis of the complex HPV vaccine ingredients.”
Conclusion: “The controversy surrounding HPV vaccine-induced illness is no longer one of methodology, it is one of terminology. HPV vaccine-induced illness is a genuinely novel and legitimate entity unto itself that shares clinical features with the ever-expanding list of neurologic fatiguing syndromes. This illness is undoubtedly caused by multiple toxic disturbances of the body’s biochemistry induced by emulsifiers, surfactants, and immune-stimulatory complexes. HPV vaccine-induced illness is not a psychogenic reaction fueled by the news media and attorneys, nor is it one of primary autoimmune reactivity. It is no longer appropriate to make the statement “if you don’t have ‘A’ (something in the textbook), then you don’t have ‘B’ (something new), i.e. you have nothing”. In a recent publication by Ikeda and colleagues, new patients with HPV vaccine related ailments have not appeared after the Japanese Ministry of Public Health withdrew its vaccine recommendation more than four years ago [24]. HPV vaccine-induced illness exemplifies the fact that the complexity of nature far transcends man’s ingenuity.”

17. “Vaccine-induced autoimmunity: the role of molecular mimicry and immune crossreaction”. “It is therefore pertinent for the scientific community to seriously address public concern of adverse effects of vaccines to regain public trust in these important medical interventions. Such adverse reactions to vaccines may be viewed as a result of the interaction between susceptibility of the vaccinated subject and various vaccine components. Among the implicated mechanisms for these reactions is molecular mimicry. Molecular mimicry refers to a significant similarity between certain pathogenic elements contained in the vaccine and specific human proteins. This similarity may lead to immune crossreactivity, wherein the reaction of the immune system towards the pathogenic antigens may harm the similar human proteins, essentially causing autoimmune disease. In this review, we address the concept of molecular mimicry and its application in explaining post vaccination autoimmune phenomena. We further review the principal examples of the influenza, hepatitis B, and human papilloma virus vaccines, all suspected to induce autoimmunity via molecular mimicry.”

BOOKS:
Gardasil: Fast Tracked and Flawed, by Helen Lobato, documents the early history of cervical cancer and tracks its progression from a disease of obscurity to one of mainstream prominence. It includes the stories of vaccinated girls and boys who remain ill after receiving a vaccine purported to prevent a disease they were most unlikely to get. It records the voices of dissenters and resisters who call for an inquiry into HPV vaccines approved for use after a relentless propaganda campaign promoting a vaccine against a virus that many had never heard of.
This 140 page book is an in-depth investigation exposes cracks in the pharmaceutical industry and highlights the problems that arise when government regulators and corporate interests are prioritised ahead of patient safety, independent science and common sense.
The HPV Vaccine On Trial: Seeking Justice For A Generation Betrayed by Mary Holland, Kim Mack Rosenberg, and Eileen Iorio. A Groundbreaking Guide to the HPV Vaccine and the science, safety, and business Behind It.
Cancer strikes fear in people’s hearts around globe. So the appearance of a vaccine to prevent cancer–as we are assured the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine will–seemed like a game-changer. Since 2006, over eighty countries have approved the vaccine, with glowing endorsements from the world’s foremost medical authorities. Bringing in over $2.5 billion in annual sales, the HPV vaccine is a pharmaceutical juggernaut. Yet scandal now engulfs it worldwide.
The HPV Vaccine on Trial is a shocking tale, chronicling the global efforts to sell and compel this alleged miracle. The book opens with the vaccine’s invention, winds through its regulatory labyrinths, details the crushing denial and dismissal of reported harms and deaths, and uncovers the enormous profits pharma and inventors have reaped. Authors Holland, Mack Rosenberg, and Iorio drill down into the clinical trial data, government approvals, advertising, and personal accounts of egregious injuries that have followed in countries as far-flung as Japan, Australia, Colombia, India, Ireland, the U.K. and Denmark. The authors have written an unprecedented exposé about this vaunted vaccine.
Written in plain language, the book is for everyone concerned – parents, patients, doctors, nurses, scientists, healthcare organizations, government officials, and schools. Ultimately, this book is not just about the HPV vaccine, but about how industry, government, and medical authorities may be putting the world’s children in harm’s way.
