Gardasil may cause increased risk of cervical cancer

    "Would you consent to giving your child a vaccine that caused an increased risk of cancer? That may be exactly what you are doing when you consent to Gardasil.According to Information the manufacturer of this vaccine presented to the FDA prior to approval, if a person has already been exposed to HPV 16 or 18 prior to injection Gardasil increases the risk of precancerous lesions, or worse, by 44.6%.This documentation was presented on the 18th of May 2006.
    That statement bears repeating, if you have been exposed to HPV 16 or 18 prior to injection and take the vaccine, you increase your risk of precancerous lesions, or worse, by 44.6%".

    This vaccine is being used in Ireland. I wonder if the parents of all those who have received it so far were informed about the possible risks before they signed the consent forms?

    ''precancerous'' doesn't sound like cancer to me.

    If it were, do you think it would have been read?
    Most people will just sign.

    I think the information should be available on the consent form, if people choose to ignore it then they have no one to blame but themselves if something goes wrong.

    something like 1000 kids died in california last year from whooping cough because their parents paid attention to this kind of thing and didnt get them vaccinated. Remember, stupidity kills. Not saying this is the same, could be true but don't take it for granted that it is.

    Ok that 'article' you linked says this:
    Now, Merck's research is indicating that Gardasil may also 'provide cross-protection' against other strains of HPV that are closely related to HPV 16 and 18. (see this article on Medpage Today) This means prior exposure to these additional strains may pose an increased risk for cervical cancer also, if combined with vaccination.

    This is stated without giving any evidence at all. This is entirely speculation. This is an appalling piece of 'journalism'

    Ok that 'article' you linked says this:

    Examiner.com is notoriously sensationalist and under-referenced

    OP has a bit of history in posting medical scare stories too

    I'm not saying they should all be ignored as scare-mongering, some are truly shocking.. like the ties between the WHO and pharma companies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭ElaElaElano


    At first glance I thought it said Gardaí may increase risk of cervical cancer...thought I'd clicked on indymedia instead of boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    I can't find any academic paper that backs up this story.



    People, don't believe any of the healthcare journalists, they are full of bull****.


    OP is a liar.

    How dare you suggest a link ;)

    I suppose you also think that the Center of Disease Control aren't totally independent of Pharama either.

    Why, the CDC had a great Director for years, Dr. Julie Gerberding.

    Amazing woman she was. I really wish she'd have stuck around.

    Her work was amazing and sure she sided with Pharma on many issues but she was always objective and fair.

    Many people accused her of being "tight" with certain pharmaceutical companies, but I never saw any evidence of that.

    Wonder what ever happened to her, we really need someone like her to keep Pharma in check.

    Ok so apparently it increases the risk by 44.6%, but what is the actual risk of getting it though?

    Bit useless giving the amount the risk is increased by without putting it in any sort of context.

    I see now where the article pulls it's baseless assertion from. Have you read the document WildBoots? If you have you must surely see where the 44.6% figure comes from and why it is completely wrong to state that vaccination in those with previous exposure carries a 44.6% increase in the risk of developing lesions.

    To be fair now. Most of the healthcare journalists don't understand the science they are reporting on.

    And also to be fair - calling the Op a liar is petty and insulting. Its safe to assume the OP actually believes what they are posting - which may make him/her misguided, but does not actually make him/her a liar.

    ok - causes long term increase on cancer - can anyone link to studies of safety to counter this argument?

    Never seen a long term study to any vaccine.

    They sound good but like millions of flies eating sh1t I am still relucant to begin eating sh1t on the report of the bravado of millions

    If I had kids I wouldn't vaccinate them - surely the flu scare and the various enquiries into how the WHO was duped (as were the majority of EU countries [bar Poland]) should tell the more intelligent amongst us not subscribed to the religion of medicine and pharmacology something

    Has anyone see the next thing which is to vaccinate boys with gardasil?

    What a pile of sh1te

    unless of course you have shares

    Hope this doesn't turn into another MMR fiasco, It took a lot of pursuading to get my wife to agree to have our kids immunisied with the MMR jab a few years ago because of the scare stories going around (since debunked).

    Orly go ahead - whilst I might not be a medic I am reasonably well educated and able to use my mind and intellect to work through most issues rather than just jumping on a band wagon - can you or anyone else say the same?

    MMR - definitely a flag but given the head of the GMC that reprimanded the wakefield guy is paid by the company producing the vaccines I think he had little room to cry vested interest

    besides there are enough long term observational studies to prove those avoiding vaccines are endowed with better health scores

    but hey gaysus who am I to post my opinion that vaccines aren't everything they are purported to be?

    Okay then, let's look at the what we know. Is there any evidence that HPV vaccines cause cancer? Not that I've seen. If you can show it to me I'll have a look. What we have here is someone making a baseless claim that it causes cancer and now you want long term trials to see if it causes cancer. Why cancer? Why not longterm trials to see if it causes ulcerative collitis or arthritis or blindness or any other randomly generated affliction I can think of. This article is BS, it's scare tactics with no evidence.

    fairly simple answer here orly - there are no long term studies for ANY vaccine although again there are plenty of studies top show those avoiding vaccinations are endowed with better long term health

    The Gardasil injection is meant to be given before girls become sexually active- around age 11-13, they're incredibly unlikely to have contracted the HPV virus at this age.

Since you are so familiar with the papers showing the benefits of avoiding vaccination it's probably best if you can point me exactly in the direction of the ones you have read so I can assess whether I need to re-evaluate what I think I know about vaccination.

    so get looking with that open mind to re-evaluate what you have blindly accepted - I am not your anti vaccine guru - I am just placing my opinion here having read a bit wider than you and K-9 have and questioning is there a wider benefit and where are the long term studies - surely vaccines are long enough available to investigate this - why haven't they given all the doubt and question about them? Surely if this could be proved it would be widely heralded and a massive push onto vaccinate all of us against every germ and virus on the planet year to year as they evolved would come about and provide bags of profit both nationally, profesionally to medics and nurses squeezing them into us (although the vaccine companies are now trying to push past this profit loss) and a benefit to mankind never to be matched

    vaccines have no long term benefit - perhaps time to read wider than medical journals and those paying for press space

    we are poisoning ourselves both immediately and given new viewpoints allowed via epigenetics, for the future too

    Yes, we should definitely avoid those pesky medical journals and medical professionals in favour of ...... geologists:eek:
    Viera Scheibner (1935 – present) (real name Viera Scheibnerová) is a retired micropaleontologist (a branch of geology). From 1958 until 1968 she was assistant professor in the department of geology at Comenius University, Bratislava. Scheibner has been active in the anti-vaccination field researching, writing and giving lectures on the subject matter of vaccines and vaccinations since her retirement from the Department of Mineral Resources, New South Wales, Australia in 1987.
    A great number of Doctors, Scientists, Legal professionals and other critics have questioned her qualifications, research abilities, and honesty

    No of course not but I tend to avoid most GPs unless in serious trouble and then head straight to A&E

    GPs tend not to know much about health and when it comes to sickness be so confused they quickly forward you to the same A&E or a consultant unless antibiotics and painkillers address the immediate problems, and when they don't and you return then you go on the A&E/consultant merry go round
