The sudden, widespread coverage of the HPV vaccine is suspicious, to say the least. Many editorials have emerged over the past few weeks regarding the vaccine, with the likely motive being the June 27th meeting of the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices, and the HPV vaccine needed a good hyping so as to ensure that ACIP members would vote to recommend extending it to more age groups, and to also ensure that the public at large would be sufficiently groomed to accept that decision.

But the editorials trumpeting the HPV vaccine are woefully inadequate; they leave out the extensive criticism, scandals, and widespread injury that have followed it since inception. They really are nothing more than advertisements for Merck and GlaxoSmithKline. The reality is that this vaccine, heralded as a medical miracle, is a false idol, albeit one that is currently enriching those participating in this particular con.

What are some of the inconvenient facts surrounding this miracle vaccine? Here are a few: it hasn’t been proven to prevent cervical cancer, it hasn’t been tested for effects on fertility, it contains borax, it hasn’t been tested for whether it actually causes cancer, and the initial clinical trial has been mired in deception and deceit from the outset. Each of these is worthy of its own separate post, which I will write over the next several days, but it is important to first understand the scope of the deception and danger surrounding this vaccine.

The book, HPV Vaccine on Trial, documents much of this deception. Chapter 2 follows the stories of two young Danish women who participated in the clinical trials, Kesia Lyng and Sesilje. They were told, like all the other participants, that the vaccine had already been safety tested and proven to be safe, yet that was a lie. They were also told that they would be given a series of three injections of either the vaccine or a placebo, and wouldn’t discover which until several years later. But the choice wasn’t between the vaccine and a true saline placebo like they’d been led to believe. The “placebo” was the same aluminum adjuvant also contained in the vaccine. How could they give truly informed consent to the trial if that fact was concealed? Both Kesia and Sesilje experienced the same debilitating, chronic conditions, yet Sesilje discovered she had received the “placebo”, while Kesia had received the vaccine. And both girls’ symptoms were disregarded by the trial staff, refusing to indulge the possibility that their symptoms could be attributable to the injections.

It should be pointed out that Merck, the manufacturer of the HPV vaccine Gardasil, is currently embroiled in a lawsuit brought by the family of 24-year old Jennifer Robi, who was left crippled by the vaccine. The plaintiff alleges that Merck committed fraud during the clinical trials, with one major point being the fact that the “placebo” group received an injection containing twice the amount of aluminum adjuvant as the actual vaccine.

The corporate advertisements, disguised as journalism, are counting on you, the reader, to not look into the subject more closely. They’re hoping the very word “vaccine” will trigger that automatic reverence, thereby gaining a kind of counterfeit prestige among healthcare providers, which will trickle down to the public. It is a tragedy that the culture at large has developed such a blind faith in vaccines in general that bad vaccines like the HPV can slip by long enough for millions to receive it before the truth comes out. Is science truly in the miracle business? Cancer is an emotional subject for many people, and emotions can be easily and effectively manipulated. The benefactors of the HPV vaccine know this.

Justin Raimondo’s articles immediately following the attacks on 9/11 are astounding to read in hindsight. He predicted the loss of liberty, the succession of bloody wars instigated by the United States. I imagine a rather thick book is currently being compiled of Justin’s articles spanning the past two decades, because his work stands as the premier history of the War on Terror madness. I’ll post just two of his pieces here, the first written on 9/11/01, and the second the day after.

9/11: TERROR

9/12: Imperial Paralysis:”The sheer fragility of the American Imperium is what is painfully apparent here. Painful most especially to the US government, whose complete inability to defend the country while claiming the mantle of the world’s only superpower is exposed for all to see. It is the weakness of an entity that has grown too big, too overextended, too blinkered by pride (some would call it hubris) to see the pitfalls of the policies it has pursued, not only in the Middle East but around the world, from the Balkans to the Far East. Our foreign policy of global military and political intervention in the internal affairs of other nations, from Bosnia to Belarus, has produced what policy analyst Chalmers Johnson has referred to as “blowback.” In his book of that title, as if in anticipation of the perplexed “Why?” of the average Americans’reaction to this carnage, Johnson wrote:

“Only when we come to see our country as both profiting from and trapped within the structures of an empire of its own making will it be possible for us to explain a great many elements of the world that otherwise perplex us.””

Very few cool heads prevailed among the general public in those days. The greater portion of the US populace transformed into a rabid lynch mob, impatient for the retaliatory bloodshed. These people, virtually all of them, knew nothing of history, or of their own government’s actions in the Middle East that could’ve inflamed such hatred in someone that they would attack us, and they didn’t care. The vast majority delighted in the bliss of their ignorance, and called for mass murder of entire nations as if it were the most reasonable response imaginable. Our government caught wind of this national sentiment and exploited it, launching wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And the ignorant masses cheered on the destruction, not only of those nations, but of their own liberties as well. Bush/Cheney supporters positively reveled in the vast powers bestowed upon the Executive, laughing at the defenders of civil liberties as cowards, as people who didn’t have the stomach for such Imperial acts. Well, who’s laughing now? No one, that’s who. The consequences of such a heedless policy has created problems far worse than what we began with. We Americans have blindly supported legislation, war, and debt, the consequences of which utterly dwarf anything that “terrorists” could inflict upon us. Wasn’t that what Osama Bin Laden had said was his goal all along? To scare us so badly that we relinquish our liberty and launch endless war, bankrupting us in the process? The threat of terrorism has increased, yes, but the threat of our own government to our own well-being and liberty has increased by orders of magnitude. Justin saw all of this, and warned us, but few listened.

You’ll have to click through the link to watch the documentary, but it is worth it. The Danish girls that were injured following the HPV vaccination were subjected to all sorts of lies and accusations: faking their injuries, seeking attention, attempting to derail a life-saving medical breakthrough, etc. So it is amazing that their story was finally told in this documentary. It’s one that you won’t find on YouTube, however, and it is probably best to watch it now before Vimeo falls to the censorship madness:
