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.
