Is Cervarix going to be the Gardasil for the UK?

By Cynthia A. Janak

As many of you know I have been writing about the side-effects of Gardasil for over a year and a half. The emails that I have been receiving have been mainly from the US with a few from Australia until now.

I am starting to get emails from the UK now. Their vaccination program for HPV just started in August of 2008. The difference and now the only difference is that the UK is using Cervarix and not Gardasil. Here is an excerpt from an email that I received just today.

Just half hour after my 12 yr old daughter had her 1st hpv injection (15/10/08) she suffered severe headaches, over the next 48 hours she collapsed 5 times with dizziness, headaches and weakness, she hasn't stood or walked since. All tests are coming back negative and despite 4 weeks of intense physio and hydro we have seen no improvement whatsoever. Her pain is extreme and unrelentless. I don't know what to do. The vaccination programme was only started in the UK 2 weeks before ********** had her injection, I am desperately trying to raise awareness in the UK after reading some of the horror stories I have discovered. Please, please can you help......

With love from me a mother who is truly desperate.

Here their program has just started and I am getting emails. This makes me wonder how many young girls are suffering just like this 12 year old and do not have a clue that it is vaccine related. It also makes me wonder how many are going to have a reaction but it might take a month or two for their bodies to start breaking down with rheumatoid arthritis, vomiting, seizures, etc. like the girls are suffering here in the US. At least there is one saving grace for the UK. They can stop the program now and save thousands from being harmed and disabled.

Right now in the US the reports to VAERS as of September of 2008 are 14015 in 27 months. That means there are 519 girls affected a month. I do not believe that a sensible government would want this to happen to their young girls. The costs for treatment would break the bank of England, so to speak.

Let's check out their ad campaign.

Here are a couple video ads that are airing on the television. The first one is a quicktime video. http://www.immunisation.nhs.uk/files/HPV-vaccine-TV-ad.mpg

Here is another advert for the television. Sounds like a news report. You know what the funny thing is, it sounds just like the reports that we received from Merck in regards to Gardasil. http://www.immunisation.nhs.uk/files/VNR_3rd_edit_22_08_08.wmv

This last video states that the girls and parents will be given a leaflet about the vaccine. I looked at the leaflet and it does not state that there are any side effects to this vaccine. http://www.immunisation.nhs.uk/publications/288938_HPV_leaflet2.pdf So these families are getting their children vaccinated without being properly informed that there is a chance that their daughters may have a reaction. That is just plain wrong.

Let us first look at the ingredients of the new wonder vaccine that is causing harm on unsuspecting young girls of England, Cervarix.

Ingredients CERVARIX contains the active ingredients HPV-16 L1 protein and HPV-18 L1 protein.

CERVARIX also contains 3-Odesacyl-4'- monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), aluminium hydroxide, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate-monobasic and water for injections.

MPL — DESCRIPTION ***************** monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) is a derivative of lipid A from Salmonella minnesota R595 lipopolysaccharide (LPS or endotoxin). While LPS is a complex heterogeneous molecule, its lipid A portion is relatively similar across a wide variety of pathogenic strains of bacteria. MPL, used extensively as a vaccine adjuvant, has been shown to activate TLR41, 2.

Salmonellosis is an infection with a bacteria called Salmonella, Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of animals, including birds. Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces.

I guess they learned how to tame Salmonella to make it safe to use in a vaccine. It looks like they took lipid A out of it. Sounds nasty to me.

Aluminium Hydroxide —

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms of an aluminum overdose include weight loss, decreased appetite, general feeling of sickness, muscle weakness, kidney failure, and softening of the bones.

Aluminum hydroxide side effects

Stop taking aluminum hydroxide and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives).

Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take aluminum and talk to your doctor if you experience constipation. Increased fluid intake may lessen constipation.

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Sodium chloride, also known as common salt, table salt, or halite, is a chemical compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the main ingredient in edible salt, it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. In one gram of sodium chloride, there are approximately 0.3933 grams of sodium, and 0.6067 g of chlorine.

Potential Health Effects

Inhalation:

May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath.

Ingestion:

Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when ingested, and seldom result in systemic effects. Such effects, however, have occurred. Symptoms may include vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, blood chemistry effects, heart disturbances and central nervous system effects. The toxicity of phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium.

Skin Contact:

Irritant due to its acidic nature. May cause inflammation and pain on prolonged contact, especially with moist skin.

Eye Contact:

May cause irritation, redness and pain.

Chronic Exposure:

May sequester calcium and cause calcium phosphate deposits in the kidneys.

Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:

No information found.

Wow, this one is interesting. First we have a lipid that is created from Salmonella. Then you have Aluminium Hydroxide with all kinds of warnings from weight loss to difficulty breathing. To top off that laundry list you have Sodium phosphate monobasic that can cause heart disturbances and central nervous system effects. Ummm I wonder what those effects might be.

Now let us look at what the manufacturers insert says.

Like other medicines, CERVARIX can cause some side-effects. If they occur, they are most likely to be minor and temporary. However, some may be serious and need medical attention.

You may feel:

♦ pain or discomfort at the injection site or you may see some:

♦ redness or swelling at the injection site.

However, these effects usually clear up within a few days.

Other side effects that occurred during clinical trials with CERVARIX were as follows:

♦ Very common (side effects which may occur in more than 1 per 10 doses of vaccine):

• headache

• aching muscles, muscle tenderness or weakness, not caused by exercise

• fatigue

♦ Common (side effects which may occur in less than 1 per 10 but more than 1 per 100 doses of vaccine):

• gastrointestinal including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain

• itching, red skin rash, hives

• joint pain

• fever (≥37.5°C — ≤38°C)

♦ Uncommon (side effects which may occur in less than 1 per 100 but more than 1 per 1,000 doses of vaccine):

• upper respiratory tract infection

• dizziness

• other injection site reactions including hard lump, loss of feeling, especially pain, during a medical procedure, itching

• flu-like symptoms, such as high temperature, sore throat, runny nose, cough and chills

♦ Rare (side effects which may occur in less than 1 per 1,000 but more than 1 per 10,000 doses of vaccine):

• spinning sensation

• muscular weakness

• generally feeling unwell

If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not be alarmed by this list of possible side-effects. You may not experience any of them.

Hey I must say one thing about this package insert. At least they were more truthful, kind of.

At least you know what to expect because they tell you what the common side effects are and you have a greater that 1 in 100 chance of getting at least one of them. You know what? I do not like those odds.

Common (side effects which may occur in less than 1 per 10 but more than 1 per 100 doses of vaccine): gastrointestinal including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, itching, red skin rash, hives and joint pain.

So if this is true and we use this equation 1 per 100 with Gardasil that means we have the real possibility of 58,043 girls have been affected in the United States alone. I came to that number because of a past news article that stated 15% of the girls received one shot and I used the 2000 census records on population statistics.

You know all I can do is shake my head in wonder at what these companies are thinking when they say a vaccine is safe. I wish someone would explain that to me because this does not sound safe to me.

This is an appeal to the government and citizens of England and every other country administering this vaccine to the young girls of their country.

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
