Gardasil Continues to Maim and Kill

Shannon Nelson, 18, a Chicago area athlete, musician and artist entering college reported to The National Vaccine Information Center that she received the HPV vaccine (Gardasil), the meningitis vaccine (Menactra) and the chicken pox vaccine (Varivax) simultaneously on June 21. Symptoms of tingling, numbness and muscle weakness began within a week and progressively got worse. By July 5, she was paralyzed with Guillian-Barre Syndrome (GBS) and spent the next 22 days in the hospital.

"Before the shots, I ran six miles a day," said Nelson. "The doctors told me I might have been put on a respirator if I hadn't been in such good shape. My mom and I wish we had known about HPV vaccine risks, especially what could happen if I got other vaccines at the same time."

A total of 1,930 adverse events involved administration of Gardasil alone have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS); 135 adverse events involved co-administration of Gardasil with Menactra.

Seven deaths have been attributed to Gardasil alone.

COMMENT: All this carnage was done in the name of "protection." Fortunately, medical bills from her hospitalization may be covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program but it will take years to receive the money, if any is awarded. More importantly, I hope she will completely recover from this episode of severe vaccine injury.

Unfortunately, the physician who administered this poisonous cocktail has no liability for the act. I suspect the doctor said something like, "Gee.....wow....eh, sorry.....gosh, this is really rare.....it must have been a coincidence, certainly not the vaccines." Rather like the coincidence that happens when your toe turns blue after you drop a frozen turkey on it.

Physicians are responsible for acts of omission and acts of commission. We need to hold physicians accountable for their ignorance about vaccines. The physician who administered three vaccines to Shannon Nelson needed to look no farther than the Physician's Desk Reference, referred to as the PDR. Information was readily available that could have alerted him or her to the risk of concurrently injecting these shots. GBS is listed as a potential side effect for both Gardacil and Menactra; giving them together would no doubt increase the risk. In addition, Gardacil has only been tested for simultaneous administration with the hepatitis b vaccine. Combining the HPV vaccine with Menactra and Varivax effectively used this young woman as a guinea pig.

Your doctor may be the nicest person in the world, but I believe that when their children are maimed by vaccines, parents need to start filing lawsuits against physicians (and nurses) for negligence. Ignorance is no defense, especially when every medical office has multiple copies of the PDR readily available and the Internet gives them easy access to all the CDC documents about vaccines. You probably won't win your suit-- healthcare workers are protected from liability by the government when they give vaccines. BUT when a doctor recieves a notice about a potential lawsuit, it is called a "30-day Letter." That letter must be reported every year to the doctor's malpractice carrier for the rest of his career. If the doctor gets several notices, the cost of the doctor’s malpractice insurance (which is already $18-24,000 per year, or more) could increase substantially. This avenue needs to be explored as a way to hold them accountable and force them to learn about the problems associated with vaccines.
