5.The HPV Hoax

The biggest side effect of the HPV vaccine is the fallacies being perpetrated by Big Pharma. For starters, how can vaccine maker Merck & Co claim that their vaccine Gardasil guards against ‘the Human Papilloma Virus’ (HPV) when this is a group of more than 100 viruses?

Misconceptions breed fear and then mass hysteria in the public. Put a price tag to that and you get a whopping $360 vaccine called Gardasil. Translate that into the millions of Americans alone who have been vaccinated with Gardasil and it’s a staggering windfall for the pharmaceutical giant.

Let’s do some digging for the truth behind the HPV vaccine, touted by the public health authorities as a savior for young women as it ostensibly protects against cervical cancer.

Here is how safe and effective this vaccine really is. As of September 2010, doctors across the US had clocked 65 deaths linked to Gardasil in reports to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). Given the gross underreporting of adverse events to the CDC, this is a statistically significant number for a drug approved by the FDA in June 2006.

Apart from its damaging fallout, there are other problems with Gardasil (other than the fact that it is a vaccine!). It does not vaccinate against all types of carcinogenic HPV strains; its so-called protection lasts only a few years (See Chapter 3: Is There A Conspiracy?); and like all other vaccines, it is not foolproof.

Before we proceed, let us take a closer look at the vaccine and the HPV. Contrary to what public health propaganda leads us to believe, most women are infected with HPV at some point in their lives. Most of these women do not exhibit any symptoms and the infection subsides on its own in due course.

There are four types of HPV that are potentially harmful – the high-risk types 16 and 18, which are associated with 70 percent of cervical cancers; and the low-risk types 6 and 11, which are associated with lesions or warts in the throat and genital tract. These are sometimes considered pre-cancerous.

Gardasil contains bits of all four types of virus, material that has been genetically modified. However, this much-publicized vaccine has kicked up a storm ever since it was approved by the FDA. It first raised eyebrows when the FDA fast-tracked it for clearance. All this fuss over a disease that accounts for only 1 percent of cancer deaths in the US!

But the stakes were high – its price tag – and it was no surprise that the government seemed more concerned than the public that the HPV vaccine should be out on the market at the earliest. But here’s the real coup, a bitter irony. In January 2010, the pharma giant announced that the Director of the CDC from 2002 to 2009, Dr Julie Gerberding, had been appointed President of Merck Vaccines. Finally, all that Gardasil-pushing made perfect sense!
