"The Scottish Government has been challenged to explain why it introduced the cervical cancer vaccination programme in a series of questions by MSPs. Conservative health spokesman Mary Scanlon has submitted four parliamentary questions to Health Minister Shona Robison after meeting with a Scottish representative from the International Coalition of Advocates for the People (ICAP). Freda Birell, of ICAP, raised concerns about inadequate research, incorrect data presented to parents, and serious illnesses being reported from girls who have received Cervarix. Earlier this month, The Scotsman revealed more than 150 girls in Scotland have suffered adverse reactions after receiving the vaccine, introduced last autumn. "

"Gardasil safety continues to raise concerns"
"Since the introduction of Gardasil HPV vaccine, the FDA has reported forty seven deaths. Gardasil was approved in 2007. Cervical cancer is caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) and is easily spread. Adverse events from Gardasil in 2008 totaled 6,273, and 147 were reported at “life threatening”."

"Not Convinced"
"Rosie Roger has decided not to have the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil. "I didn't really know much about it," says the year 12 student, "then my friend came to school and said someone her mum knows got sick from it. So I researched it and apparently it hasn't been fully approved. We're kind of like the guinea pigs for it, and I heard it sometimes risks your chance of getting pregnant.""

"28 Deaths Tied To Gardasil, Watchdog Says"
"Twenty-eight girls and women died in 2008 soon after taking Gardasil, a vaccine meant to prevent human papillomavirus infections and fight cervical cancer, according to a group that analyzed FDA records. Judicial Watch, which said it investigates and prosecutes government corruption, said in a news release there have been 47 deaths associated with Gardasil since it was approved in 1996. The results were taken from the FDA's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system, which also noted more than 6,700 adverse events in 2008."

"New FDA Records Obtained by Judicial Watch Indicate 28 Deaths Related to Gardasil in 2008"
"Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained records from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) documenting 28 deaths in 2008 associated with Gardasil, the vaccination for human papillomavirus (HPV), up from the 19 deaths in 2007.

"Thirteen hundred and twenty two families have won vaccine damage cases since 1988."
"This weekend a news story broke about another win for a family with a three year old little girl, who became brain damaged after the MMR. Julia a USA citizen from Colorado won a substantial financial award in a US Federal Court after her family proved her brain damage was caused after she had the MMR vaccine. Julie suffered from ENCEPHALITIS after the MMR vaccine and as she had not been formerly diagnosed with any 'Autism' this word could not used in her case. Another case Bailey Banks also did not have the word Autism mentioned in his case and also won compensation."

"Merck admits the vaccine Gardasil, can cause faints and seizures."
"The addition of syncope to the Warnings and Precautions section emphasizes that healthcare providers and consumers should be alert that fainting may occur following vaccination with Gardasil, sometimes resulting in falling and injuries. To prevent falls and injuries all vaccine recipients should remain seated or lying down and be closely observed for 15 minutes following vaccination." This minor change has taken the drug giants three whole years to put into place, although fainting was included in the small print in 2007. Merck have stated that these seizures are not epileptic in nature, however, even they have to admit that a faint followed by tonic-clonic movement and seizure like activity, which ever way they dress it up, is really saying in the broad sense, a child could have a 'Grand Mal Seizure' after having a Gardasil vaccination. Many girls have gone on to be diagnosed as epileptic after having Gardasil vaccines. Girls like Katherine Kimzey, a 14-year-old girl who experienced headaches, fainting, and stiff joints after receiving the second shot of her three-dose Gardasil vaccine battery. A few weeks later, Katherine had a seizure and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. Katherine is one girl of many who has encourntered a serious adverse reaction after receiving Gardasil. "

"Injury to Older Girls Spurs Vaccine Safety Questions"
"It seems that Gardasil and its competitor in the HPV vaccine category Cervarix are recieving far more scrutiny for the injuries they may be causing than routine vaccinations given to infants. This is likely because the target group, teen girls, can express their adverse effects far more so than babies, whose cries go ignored by most doctors following vaccine injury."

"Neutralising the toxicity of vaccines"
"There is no scientific study to determine whether vaccines have really prevented diseases. Rather disease graphs show vaccines have been introduced at the fag end of epidemics when the disease was already in its last stages. In case of Small Pox the vaccine actually caused a great spurt in the incidence of disease before public outcry led to its withdrawal. goThere are no long-term studies on vaccine safety. Very short-term tests are carried out where the vaccinated subjects are checked against another group who are given another vaccine. Technically the tests should be carried out against a non-vaccinated group. No one really knows what protocols are followed at such industry-sponsored trials."

"Watch Out for Flying Syringes, GMO Food Vaccines, and Forced Vaccinations"
"A Japanese Research team is working on genetically engineering mosquitoes to deliver vaccines. These are the flying vaccines of the future. Far fetched? Bill Gates doesn't think so. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2008 allotted a $100,000 grant to this research team for just that project. This is from the Association of Fund Raising Professionals, Washington Chapter website. GMO's Enable Trojan Horse Vaccinations: Edible vaccines, as GMO foods, are in the future as well. Meat and Poultry, a business journal for meat and poultry processors, reports in a May 5, 2009 article , by Bryan Salvage, that researchers at Iowa State University are working on creating a method to install vaccines into corn crops.

"Soldiers encounter dangerous side effects of bioterrorism vaccine"
"First came the stomachaches and low fevers. Then Lance Cpl. Cory Belken broke out in a rash. His temperature shot up to 104.6 degrees. The young man became delirious, telling his mother, Barbara Skaggs, that he wanted to go to the smoking section even though he had never smoked. His blood pressure dropped. Belken, a 20-year-old Marine, had been dealing with two potentially life-threatening conditions – a recent onset of acute leukemia and a spreading infection from a smallpox vaccination. He was that unlucky one-in-a-million case, his doctors said, but one they hoped would end well."

"Newsweek’s Newspeak: Pharma’s Weapon Against Oprah"
"What matters is if Newsweek’s articles fit its agenda. In a magazine filled with pharma ads, accused in 2001 by five consumer groups of breaching journalism ethics by working with the lobby group PhRMA, having a special advertising relationship with pharmaceutical corporations and allowing its publication to be used by pharma lobbyists for public relations purposes, Newsweek’s agenda is no secret. One consumer advocate described Newsweek as “an infomercial masquerading as medical news” and “an example of corruption in journalism. Newsweek has surrendered its professional credentials by shamelessly engaging in disease mongering aimed at increasing profits for the mental health industry.” "

"Ukrainian Teenager's Death Blamed on Illegal Vaccine"
"Ukrainian prosecutors have ordered a senior health official detained on suspicion of illegally importing millions of doses of a vaccine that they charge caused a teenager's death, officials said Wednesday. United Nations agencies have concluded that the 17-year-old boy's death in May 2008 was caused by a bacterial infection unrelated to the U.N.-certified vaccine for measles and rubella he had just received.

"Gardasil. The vaccine that almost killed me, and maybe you."
"Back in September I was told I should get this Vaccine at my gyno. Me being the naive girl I was thought a shot that can prevent cervical cancer..that's genius sign me up. I agreed to taking this without doing any research. Within weeks of getting the first one I had no energy, no appetite, or motivation. I blamed it on working to much or not eating right. I got the second shot a few months later and within a few weeks I got down to 85 lbs. I could not eat or drink or walk to the bathroom on my own because I was too weak. I was so dizzy everything was always moving, my vision started to go out, I could not talk in complete sentences, my lungs weren't working correctly and My skin had turned a greenish grey. I was always shaking and my blood pressure was so high I was worried I was going to have a heart attack. Basically in every shape and form my body was shutting off. I needed people to help care for me 24/7 for weeks. I could not be alone because I couldn't do anything for myself. "

"Fears over reactions to cervical cancer jab"
"Campaigners are calling for the vaccination programme to be suspended, claiming there are unanswered questions about the long-term effectiveness and safety of Cervarix. They are concerned that official information refers to mild side-effects, when some girls have reported serious reactions to the jab. The families of six girls in England are suing GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the maker of Cervarix, after the girls suffered severe reactions resulting in partial paralysis, seizures and chronic fatigue. "

"Evidence Of Harm Has Been Linked To Various Vaccines Challenging Prevailing Public Recommendations"
""They found that children who had received the flu vaccine had three times the risk of hospitalization, as compared to children who had not received the vaccine. In asthmatic children, there was a significantly higher risk of hospitalization in subjects who received the TIV, as compared to those who did not (p= 0.006)." So, will these disturbing findings--namely, ineffectiveness of the TIV vaccine coupled with evidence of harm--lead the Center for Disease Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to rescind their recommendation for annual influenza vaccination for all children aged six months to 18 years? Or will our public health policy continue to be guided by the entrenched pharmaceutical industry? Or will our public health policy continue to be guided by the entrenched pharmaceutical industry? ... When evidence suggests that current vaccine recommendations are harming children it is unethical to delay issuing a cautionary advisory by invoking "more studies are needed" to delay action. Public health policy should be guided by the precautionary principle--"Above all, do no harm"--not by business interests. "

"Vaccine used in children causing brain damage?"
"Boca Raton father, Ben Zeller, says his son, Ben, Jr., was a normal 11-month-old when he received the Measles, Mump and Rubella shot in November of 2004. Within days, he had a complete febral seizure. "This was a reaction to the MMR shot, there is no doubt in my mind," Zeller said. Zeller was one of the first to prove his case in the Federal Vaccine Court. Last July, the court ruled his son would not have experienced the seizure if it weren't for the MMR vaccine. We have thousands of cases and we can show all vaccines are causing the exact same problem," said Dr. Andrew Moulden, a Canadian physician gathering evidence to support a class action lawsuit. Moulden is spending the next week in South Florida interviewing families like the Zeller's. "To stop this from going on, we have to go to the courts," Moulden said. "They won't stop doing this until we hold them fiscally responsible.""

"1300 Girls Harmed by HPV Vaccines in UK; Bizarre Side Effects Like Paralysis and Epilepsy"
"More than 1,300 girls in the United Kingdom have experienced negative reactions to the government-mandated Cervarix vaccine for the human papillomavirus (HPV), according to adverse events reports collected from doctors by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). "When they introduced this new vaccine, we had major concerns about its safety," said Jackie Fletcher of Jabs, a support group for those negatively affected by vaccines. "The current statistics detailing adverse reactions -- including cases of epilepsy and convulsions -- bears out that we were right to be concerned." "

"Flu shot not effective in preventing flu-related hospitalizations in asthmatic children"
"The inactivated flu vaccine does not appear to be effective in preventing influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthma. In fact, children who get the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than their peers who do not get the vaccine, according to new research that will be presented on Tuesday, May 19, at the 105th International Conference of the American Thoracic Society in San Diego.
