3.  HPV is considered as common as the common cold virus by most practicing physicians in the US. It is that common and that innocuous.  There are more than 100 strains of HPV  60 cause regular non-genital skin warts  40 cause genital warts.  6 million people get infected yearly with this virus that we know of  70% of those infected are clear of any sign of the infection within a 1 year  90% have no sign of infection by 2 years.  HPV viruses that are associated with a high incidence of cancer (by the way, no one really knows the true statistics of infected healthy people without immune system problems) include HPV 16, 18, 31, 35, 45, 51, 52, 58 and others.  You cannot distinguish the type of HPV causing a particular infection with normal blood testing  The HPV vaccine was approved by the FDA in 2006 with no track record of safety or long term side-effect evaluation  8 million of our daughters were immunized before safety and efficacy data were even obtained ( completion of first studies was due September 2009)

4.  In February last year I wrote: "Gardasil is an act of aggression against our daughters who are becoming victims of pharmaceutical greed”.  Vaccine has only been tested for five years on possibly as low as 100,000 ten year old girls in Africa.  No one knows what will happen to those girls or our girls in the five, 10 or 20 years after the vaccine has been administered.  The only science here is the real live testing about to be done on our daughters, who are technically, like the African ten year olds, the guinea pigs.  Remember Lyme vaccine? What happened to that cure-all?  It killed a few people and was quickly taken off the market.

5.  About 11,070 women will find out they have invasive cervical cancer this year.  This year, about 3,870 women will die from cervical cancer.  Hispanic women and African-American women are more likely to get cervical cancer than non-Hispanic white women.  Half of the women who get cervical cancer are between 30 and 55 years of age.  All women with cervical cancer have had a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection at some time in their life.  However, most women with an HPV infection will never get any disease related to that infection. Also, most HPV infections will clear on their own.  Over the last 50 years, routine Pap test screening for cervical cancer has reduced deaths from cervical cancer by 74%. How do these numbers justify immunizing millions of young women?

6.  Reproduction studies in female RATS at doses equivalent to the recommended human dose have revealed no evidence of impaired female fertility or harm to the fetus due to GARDASIL  No adequate and well controlled studies have been conducted on pregnant WOMEN  It isn’t known if Gardasil is excreted in human milk. …caution should be exercised when it is administered to nursing mothers  CASES OF MISCARRIAGES AND DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED – 32 DEATHS AS OF AUGUST 2009

7.  Vaccine can be given to lactating females  Should NOT be given to pregnant women  The vaccine will not treat existing disease or conditions caused by HPV  There is no clinical test currently to determine whether a female has had any or all the four HPV types targeted by the vaccine  Ideally vaccination should occur before onset of sexual activity  Routinely recommended for 11-12 year old girls. Series can be started at 9 years of age. Catch-up vaccination is recommended for 13-26 year-old females who have not received or completed series  Data do not indicate that the vaccine will have any therapeutic effect on existing HPV infections or genital warts

8.  November 2007- Merck announced findings of a trial that shows Gardasil is also effective in women as old as 45  November 2009- Merck presented to FDA data from three clinical trials claiming to support broadening the distribution of Gardasil to include males. 5,400 males were immunized in 23 countries.  Merck recommends three dose Gardasil to males 9 and above following the same guidelines as for females  There is no test to detect the virus in men  Cervarix, the Glaxo-Smith –Kline version has been approved in Europe

9.  In 2008- 37,313 people died in car crashes in the US.  More than 30,000 people die of the common flu in the US yearly in spite of flu immunization  There are approximately 15,000 murders in the US every year.  On the average 90 people die of lightening every year  Remember Anthrax? In 2001 we were all scared to death by it and 5 people actually died from the disease. I wonder how many died with heart attacks and strokes caused by the fear of Anthrax?

10.  Why do we need the vaccine? Drug companies can make money off our fears The government can say they are doing their duty of protecting the public good even if the public good doesn’t need to be vaccinated We don’t need the vaccine.

11.  It takes 6 months to develop the vaccine – swine flu vaccine was developed before there were any trials conducted on its safety and efficacy  NIAD which is part of the NIH is supposed to conduct five trials before bringing the vaccine to market  By July 28, 2009 only 2 of the trials were started with less than 1000 participants. Results would not come in till end of October 2009, when already the vaccine had been developed.

12.  1976 outbreak of swine flu  46 million doses of vaccine distributed  3 months later vaccine was taken off the market  26 deaths caused by side-effect of vaccine- Guillan-Barre syndrome which causes paralysis and inability to breathe  Taking swine flu and seasonal flu vaccine is a dangerous and not studied proposition
