Avoid Gardasil
2008-03-04 03:31:00 Here is an article that I thought was very interesting. Ever since Gardasil came out and has been heavily promoted on TV stating you should protect your daughters and get this vaccine I was weary. They just do not know enough about this vaccine to convine me to get the vaccine let alone our ... This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more!
To Gardasil, or not to Gardasil?
2008-02-14 00:00:00 So I realise that the HPV debate has been raging in Canada for quite some time, but I feel like I've only just come to some of my own realizations and conclusions. I think I have been reading up diligently on the news updates that are released about Gardasil, the new HPV vaccine that has ...
Gardasil
2008-02-10 06:18:00 The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has received reports of deaths in women who hadpreviously received Gardasil, including two reports concerning the sudden and unexpected deaths of two young women in the European Union (EU). Gardasil is a vaccine approved in the EU for the prevention of cervical cancer and other diseases caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16 and 18. It is estimated that about 1.5 million patients have been vaccinated with this HPV vaccine in Europe.The two European cases were reported as part of the continuous monitoring of the safety of medicines. One of the cases occurred in Austria and the other in Germany. In both cases, the cause of death could not be identified. No causal relationship has been established between the deaths of the young women and the administration of Gardasil.On the basis of the currently available evidence, the EMEA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) is of the opinion that the benefits of Gardasil cont...

2008-01-27 02:02:00 Cut and pasted from the news.... As the Mom of two girls who are in this age group and was hounded by their doctors to start them on it last year I stand by my stance that I will not, ever, get this shot for my daughters. I urge parents to read, read, read, read before subjecting your daughter to this shot series. (Not because of this article... but because if you read up on this series of
Gardasil - Why Get Vaccinated
2007-11-28 05:02:00 Women around the world cross their legs and cringe at the thought of getting a pap smear, and it’s just as bad waiting nervously for two weeks to find out if everything is normal or not. For those that don’t know, Gardasil is a vaccine against some of the causes of cervical cancer and genital warts. At the moment it’s free in Australia to women under the age of 26, and is included in the school vaccination program for girls. Wait, you might think, a vaccine for a STD being given to schoolgirls? Many parents and members of the community expressed their outrage. And what’s in it? Virus like particles that cannot replicate. I have heard mutterings of genetic modification, and yes, it is produced by genetically modifying yeast. I hear people exclaim their disapproval and and refuse to be injected with something that has undergone genetic engineering. It’s sad, and I often despair at the ignorance of the world, so in this case I have decided to take a bre...

Thank You and Info For The Gals
2007-07-17 02:57:00 Thank you to everyone who commented and emailed with well wishes. I was finally able to get new painkillers to dull the pain. Currently I am working with a company that makes elephant tranquilizers and they should be getting back to me with shipment costs VERY soon. ;) Just kidding but that is how I am feeling. Like it is going to take an elephant tranquilizer to ever give me a pain free day again. This dull ache though I can deal with so I will not complain and will be thankful to finally have something. I have an ultrasound scheduled on Friday for my gallbladder and pancreas as well as bloodwork on my liver enzymes. This should be a fun ride. Weeeeeee. Can't you tell how flipping happy I am?? Yeah, that was sarcasm. Ya'll are learning aren't you? *snort*Anyway- A few emails I've received recently have asked me if I could help spread the word on a few things of which I am more than happy to do. Most of you will remember the whole HPV Vaccine Fuck Off deal in June. For those who...

Choices now will impact a lifetime: The Gardasil Debate
2007-05-26 13:26:00 So here is the deal: GARDASIL is the new vaccine, which is creating a lot of buzz these days and for all the wrong reasons. So let’s recap some facts first: ∑ For it to be effective you must not have contracted certain strains of HPV ∑ GARDASIL is for girls and women ages 9 to 26. ∑ Cervical Cancer kills 10 women a day in the US ∑ One in four women ages 14 to 59 is infected with HPV ∑ GARDASIL protects against the strains of HPV that cause 70% of cervical cancers ∑ GARDASIL was approved by the FDA in 2006 ∑ The three dose treatment cost $360 Now, many members of the conservative right in this country are lobbying States hard to not appropriate funds for vaccinating girls or arguing that States should not make vaccination mandatory. This is a vaccine, which can prevent cancer. Let me say that again, this is a vaccine that can prevent cancer, a cancer that kills 10 women in the US a day. Now the agreement is that if this vaccine, which prevents a cancer that is caused ...

Texas Legislature To Consider Requiring Gardasil For Sixth Grade Girls, New
2007-04-16 16:10:00 The Texas Legislature in the new session that begins on Tuesday will consider two bills (SB 110, HB 215) that would require girls entering the sixth grade to receive Merck's human papillomavirus vaccine Gardasil, KENS 5 Eyewitness News/San Antonio Express-News reports (Rigby, KENS 5 Eyewitness News/San Antonio Express-News, 1/4).

FDA in July 2006 approved the vaccine for sale and marketing to girls and women ages nine to 26, and CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices later that month voted unanimously to recommend that girls ages 11 and 12 receive the vaccine (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 1/5). The measure would allow parents to apply for an exemption if they do not want their daughters to receive Gardasil. State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte (D) plans to sponsor the Senate version of the...

Hmmmm: this report about mandatory gardasil vaccin?
2007-02-05 12:36:01 Hmmmm: This report about mandatory Gardasil vaccines in Texas was playing on the news in the doctor’s lounge this morning, and one of the other physicians in the room shouted out, “Ask the governor if he has stock in Merck!” Well, the governor does have some connections to Merck:Perry has several ties to Merck and Women in Government. One of the drug company’s three lobbyists in Texas is Mike Toomey, Perry’s former chief of staff. His current chief of staff’s mother-in-law, Texas Republican state Rep. Dianne White Delisi, is a state director for Women in Government.Perry also received $6,000 from Merck’s political action committee during his re-election campaign.Meanwhile, Grunt Doc notes that doctors nationwide can’t afford to stock it. That includes this doctor, who continues to offer to order it for patients, but who has yet to have anyone accept the offer. (Source: medpundit) More: continued here
