1. What a bunch of lies. I know about 10 people personally who have had reactions to this vaccine. Yeah, 1 in 5000 women..what a lie. I was happy with my life, healthy, going to the gym everyday. Isn’t it all fun and games for you that I’m 21 years old and I can’t "prove" that the vaccine caused me to barely be able to walk anymore, even though it happened 8 hours after I got the shot. So I’m suffering, along with thousands of other girls, and no one cares.

3. The HPV vaccine killed my father and raped my mother.

   But I am HPV-free! Though I didn’t actually get the vaccine.

4. My 13 year old daughter was injured by Gardasil and completely disabled for the past year. Merck got it right when they used the slogan "One Less" for Gardasil. Because of Gardasil, my daughter was "One Less". She was "One Less Student", "One Less Active Child", "One Less in every aspect of her life". Take it from a mother who has spent the past year sitting by my child’s bedside wondering if she would die in her sleep. INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE. DO NOT trust your doctor to make this decision. If you want to understand Merck’s role in the medical community, investigate some of their former wonderdrugs such as VIOXX and then marvel at how many people died from it before it was pulled off the market. The CDC AND FDA need to do their job and get this off the market before more children are harmed. The public is not aware of VAERS and the #’s are grossly understated. I have had to tell my child’s doctors about VAERS and make them file reports or she would not be one of the current statistics in VAERS. Even then, her information has not been entered correctly so I know that VAERS is not what it should be. Please do not let this happen to your child. There is NO WAY that I will get my son this vaccine.

5. Don’t buy into the lies of the greedy, money hungry tyrants in the Pharmaceutical companies. Merck had Gardasil rushed through to hurry up and regain the billions of dollars that they had lost with the Vioxx law suits! You remember Vioxx? It killed thousands and ruined the lives of even more! Did they care? Only that it cost them! The truth is that during the "studies" (only two years) of Gardasil, they added aluminum to the placebo so that the differences in the reactions to the drugs would look the same as those that did not receive it!! The FDA allowed this. It has 1200 times more aluminum in it than any other vaccine. The smaller amounts have been linked to the autism of children, so how this is acceptable to the FDA, CDC and our Government, I still shake my head!
   My daughter is living proof, just like thousands of other girls!! We live with the regret of getting that One of three shots EVERY DAY!!
   She IS "one less"...one less cheer leader, one less soccer player, one less track star, one less straight A student, one less...Happy Go Lucky,Fun Loving Teen!
   Don’t believe me, research! You will be glad you did! Tell everyone that you know!!! You could save their lives!
   This vaccine is NOT safe! This vaccine is NOT safe! Once more...THIS VACCINE IS NOT SAFE!
   And it hasn’t even been proven to stop HPV. As a matter of fact...girls that received it in 2006 and early 2007 are already experiencing bad paps...abnormal cells, genital warts and leisons! Their stories are on the web!! Find them!

6. My daughter was also effected by the Gardasil vaccination. She was a freshman in college, straight A’s in high school and captain of her volleyball team. She had to drop out of school for a semester after getting the Gardasil vaccination, was in a wheelchair and two years later is still suffering.. I’m not against vaccinations, but I’d think twice before getting this one.

7. Jessie was a month from her 18th birthday when she died. Jessie was a very active, healthy young lady. She was a member of the varsity cheerleading squad and was working on her softball pitch getting ready to start the season with her high school softball team. She was the life of the party and always had her friends in stitches. Jessie was never sick.

   Her first Gardasil shot was in July, 2007. The second shot was two months later in September, 2007. After the second shot, she started to have very bad headaches, joint pain and was always tired. Lisa, (my daughter) took Jessie to the doctor that gave Jessie the shots to find out what was causing the fatigue, headaches and joint pain. He said it was stress as Jessie was in her senior year of school and was very involved with sports and cheer leading, thus the joint pain. Gardasil was never mentioned, in fact it was never thought of. Jessie continued to have the headaches along with the fatigue. On February 20, 2008 Jessie went with her mom to get the third shot of Gardasil. The next evening February 21, 2008 she told her mom that she had another bad headache, took and aspirin and went to bed. She was still asleep in the morning at 5:00 AM when her mom left for work. Upon arriving home at 3:30 PM my daughter found Jessie dead on the bathroom floor. She had been dead for several hours. The medical examiner could find no cause from the autopsy.

   After Jessie’s funeral we all started to put two and two together. What was the only thing that was different. What had happened just before her death. The Gardasil shot was all that was different. Lisa’s good friend went to the computer and typed in Gardasil. We could not believe what we saw. There were other deaths and horrible side effects that were happening to girls and young women following the Gardasil shot. We wrote letters and spoke to all that would listen. I became so frustrated because I didn’t think the media was listening. I happened to write on a blog as I was doing research, just how I felt. The next thing I was asked to do a radio show. Because of that I have been in contact with several other mothers that have also lost their daughters to the vaccine that was to protect their daughters from The HPV which could cause cervical cancer. We have been speaking out, writing our government officials and doing all we can to make other families aware that Gardasil can also kill. If we had only known, Jessie would not have received any of the shots of Gardasil. The doctor had nothing but praise for the vaccine. Nothing in the information that was given by the doctor mentioned bad reactions. Merck, the CDC and FDA continue to say "They find no connection between the deaths and Gardasil" but the families that have lost a loved one and all the families that have paid thousands of dollars trying to find a cure after their child has had an adverse reaction to Gardasil and doctors can find nothing wrong with the girls. We continue to do what we can and pray that this nightmare will stop.

   Please do the research before you or your daughter has the Gardasil shot. We wish we had. From a grandmother who knows.

8. My daughter age 15 too was harmed by the Gardasil vaccination. I thought I was doing the right thing by getting her the vaccination - - also the Dr. pushed me to get it for her -- I wish I never had. My girl was healthy and active in sports, horseriding and now is a mess. She has horrible migraine headaches nearly every day, muscle pain, neurological problems and more. SHE WAS NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE THAT SHOT. The drs. don’t listen they don’t care. I have mounting medical bills, been to a top neurologist in a top childrens hospital and nobody wants to believe it was from the shot. I am so depressed and sad that I made her take the shot I want to cry everyday -- I hurt my precious girl. Don’t get this shot for your girls it is poison. and nobody will help. If you let them talk you into this shot that is poison- -you will be just like me.

9. My daughter was harmed by the Gardasil vaccine. Two plus years later I figured it out. After she lost hair, had severe pneumonia, dehydration, migraines, menopausal issues. This is a BAD vaccine! Women will continue to die and be maimed by this vaccine if it is not taken off the market. My daughter is trying to recover but it is a slow battle. She’s on vitamin therapy - B12 (sublingual), D (4-5000iu/day), C, B6 and B complex. This will be a long battle and I pray for her recovery. Actually, I pray for a miracle because I’m afraid that may be the only thing that will safe her life. So many others have died - but these are not being reported by our media. Why? Because there are billions of dollars involved. May God bless each of the girls that had this vaccine.

10. Hey everyone, my daughter also took the Gardasil vaccine and is now suffering. Three years ago, we both decided it was best for her to get the vaccine. Then, just yesterday, her boyfriend beat her with a baseball bat and she’s in ICU. I’m praying for a miracle. The media won’t tell my story either.

12. Did you know it’s required for immigrant women ages 18-26 to get the vaccine? And that is considering its cost! When it’s not even clear how long it is effective for?
    "Therefore, it is imperative to vaccinate young women and girls prior to the onset of sexual activity."-how many women do you know that are virgins by the age of 20???

13. Considering the fact that there is growing proof in the dermatological community that these strains of HPV are also very much related to other types of cancer that are NOT screened for as routinely, such as anal cancer (which killed Farrah Fawcett recently, among others) and oral cancer, and considering the vast numbers of people (both men and women) that will contract HPV over the course of their lives, I think it’s stupid to try to argue that people should not be encouraged to get this vaccine.

    It’s not like the government is telling you that you HAVE to do this, so if y’all loonies want to keep your kids from getting vaccinated, that’s fine, but don’t try to get it pulled off the market for the rest of us that actually have a brain we can use to make logical decisions for ourselves and our families. There have been some tragic stories that have been (inconclusively, i might add) linked to the Gardasil vaccine, but they are a drop of water compared to the bucket that is the number of people whose lives are being improved by it.

    Thousands of people got sick and many even died as a result of the mass polio vaccinations that went on in the middle of the last century... Are you people saying that we would have been better off suing the crap out of the people that manufactured it and allowing that terrible disease to continue on in our country? Because that’s lunacy.

14. HIV is not something people can nor should they go through alone. I have found my love on the largest HIV support and dating site Datewithstd.com . To all of us who positive stay strong and need people to win this fight, whether it’s family, friends or a support group, people are the key. Datewithstd.com is such a free site...
