Update: HPV vaccines and the Supreme Court of India#HPV#Vaccines#Android

 By Norma Erickson

January 2013, the government of India was ordered by their Supreme Court to file an answer to allegations put forth in a petition filed on behalf of Gramya Resource Centre for Women from Andhra Pradesh. This petition challenged the licensing of Gardasil and Cervarix for use in the private sector as well as attempts to introduce HPV vaccines for use in the public sector. The petition implicated the Drugs Controller for having licensed the vaccines without adequate research on safety and efficacy;  the Health Ministry for not carrying out an enquiry into licensing of these vaccines as ordered by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare in April 2010 and not taking any action on the report of the internal enquiry committee despite all alleged irregularities associated with the PATH project being confirmed.

October 2014, India’s Supreme Court Justices issued instructions for all petitioners and respondents in the ongoing case against to either serve the opposition with copies of affidavits filed and/or file any affidavits and rejoinder affidavits pertinent to the case within the next four weeks. The matter was then set for what was supposed to be a final hearing on January 13, 2015.

When the ’final’ hearing date arrived, several respondents had still not complied with these instructions. At least one of them went so far as to hold their two-and-a-half-foot tall affidavit for presentation to the Court on  January 13th. The Honorable Supreme Court Justices did not seem to be amused.

After hearing the evidence presented on January 13th, Justices Dipak Misra and Prafulla C. Pant issued an order reminding all participants of concerns raised in a prior hearing on 12 August 2014. Those concerns are as follows:

  • Did the Drugs Controller of India and the ICMR (Indian Council on Medical Research) follow proper protocol for the introduction of HPV vaccines prior to the use of said vaccines in the demonstration projects in India?
  • What actions were taken after the submission of the Parliamentary Committee’s 72nd report on August 30, 2014?
  • What were the reasons for choosing certain places in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh for the HPV vaccine demonstration projects?
  • What actually caused the deaths and other ailments experienced after HPV vaccine administration in said demonstration projects?
  • What steps were taken to monitor the safety of HPV vaccines by the Union of India and the State Governments who have an equal role in guarding the health of the nation?
  • Was proper consent given by the parents/guardians of all girls who were administered HPV vaccines, as the Justices been apprised?
  • What protocol is required to be observed/followed when this type of vaccination program is conducted?

The Honorable Supreme Court Justices deemed it appropriate to grant permission for the State of Gujarat, State of Andhra Pradesh, and State of Telangana to be added as parties to the current case.

The Justices also agreed to M/S Glaxosmithkline Asia Pvt. Ltd. and MSD Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., the companies responsible for manufacturing HPV vaccines, being served as respondents in the proceedings.

Justices Misra and Pant granted permission for the attorneys representing the petitioners to serve papers on the concerned Ethics Committees of all three States involved in the HPV demonstration projects.

In view of the fact that the above mentioned concerns had still not been adequately addressed, some respondents had failed to appear for prior hearings, and others had ignored requests for information or failed to submit affidavits in a timely manner the Justices included the following statements in the current order:

  • This Court hopes and trust(s) that on the next date of hearing, the Standing Counsel of all the States shall remain present and argue the matter.
  • The Union of India shall direct its competent authority to produce the file by which the Drugs Controller General of India approved HPV vaccines for use along with any other relevant documents to the Court and the Counsellors for the Petitioners in this case.
  • Learned Counsel for the Union of India shall apprise this Court what steps have been taken to comply with the recommendations put forth in the Parliamentary Committee’s Report on HPV vaccine demonstration projects in India.
  • Counsel for the State shall file their counter-affidavits within a period of four weeks.
  • The Union of India shall file their counter-affidavit (case #921/2013) within four weeks. Rejoinder affidavit, if any, within two weeks therefrom.
  • By the same time, rejoinder affidavit to the counter-affidavit filed by PATH International to be filed.
  • The Advocate for ICMR shall produce the file dealing with HPV vaccines by the next date.
  • Regarding the ’concept of consent’ and the resultant deaths: it has been submitted that though innovative explanations have been given stating that some girls in the States of Gujarat and Telangana expired due to snake bite and fever, in actuality, it is due to the administration of vaccinations.
  • It was noted that though HPV vaccines were administered for the purpose of experimentation, there is no data with regard to the adverse effects faced by the young girls.
  • Counsel for the Union of India, the State of Gujarat, and the State of Telangana shall state by way of affidavit what the procedure and protocols are to be followed while obtaining informed consent. The stand taken by the Union of India and the States shall be clear and in consonance with law, for the affidavit is not expected to be filed in contravention of that has been envisaged in law.
  • The present public interest litigation has to be perceived from the point of view of rectification and caution for the future.
  • The ’caution’ would convey what steps have to be taken in the future so that this kind of grievances do not arise.

In conclusion, the Supreme Court order states:

Learned counsel appearing for the Union of India and the States of Gujarat and Telangana shall file their respective affidavits keeping in view the directions given herein-above. To elucidate, the affidavit filed by the Union of India shall contain explicitly (i) what steps they intend to take on the basis of the report given by the Parliamentary Standing Committee, (ii) what is the procedure to be followed for the purposes of consent and what steps are required to be taken to find out the sufferings, if any, by the persons who were vaccinated, and (iii) the liability of compensation, if any, to be paid and whose liability it would be.

Justices set the next hearing date for April 21, 2015.

Judges demand answers after children die in controversial cancer vaccine trial in India#cdcwhistleblower#HearThisWell#Vaccines

jv Leave a comment

There have been over 37,000. adverse events and 214 deaths from the Gardasil/Cervarix vaccines with no evidence of any benefit from the vaccine.  These figures are off of the November 2014 VAERS report and estimated to be only 1-10% of actual cases.  

By GETHIN CHAMBERLAIN IN INDORE, INDIA,

  •  Tribal girls were given shots of cervical cancer vaccines during trial
  • Children given Merck’s Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines
  • Petitioners also asked judges to investigate trials of new drug Gardasil 9
  • Drug has allegedly caused side-effects in children as young as nine
  • Investigation claims children were used as unwitting human guinea pigs
  • Supreme Court has given the government one month to provide answers

Judges in India’s Supreme Court have demanded answers after children died during a controversial cervical cancer vaccine trial.

Young tribal girls received shots of pharmaceutical company Merck’s Gardasil vaccine and Cervarix, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.

The vaccines are given to girls as young as nine in many countries – including the UK and the US – to protect against the human papilloma virus, one of the major causes of cervical cancer.

But the Indian court yesterday heard a challenge by campaigners who claim the study – funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – failed to obtain the informed consent of the children or their parents.

They say that a ‘study’ carried out for the foundation by a US organisation was in fact an illegal drugs trial.

This is Why You Should Not Blindly Follow Your Doctor’s Advice to Vaccinate#Pregnancy#Baby#Family

jv Leave a comment

by Michelle Goldstien

 The subject of vaccines is extremely controversial. Most individuals have been taught from an early age that vaccines are safe and prevent disease. I wish that both of these statements were true, but I am now convinced, after extensive research and experience, that vaccines do not prevent disease and that they are far from safe.

Tremendous pressure is wielded by physicians, hospitals, public schools, family and friends to vaccinate. You must come to your own conclusions and stand firm, should you decided not to vaccinate. It is imperative to take time to do some independent research on this medical procedure. The health consequences of vaccinations, which include death, cannot be easily reversed, if at all…

The HPV vaccine: injuries and treatment#Vaccines#HPV#iBelieve

jv Leave a comment

By Stig Gerdes, Guest Author

The HPV vaccine Gardasil was introduced into the childhood vaccination program in Denmark in 2009. The decision was made already in 2006 by the former Minister of Health Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

In the spring of 2013 there came reports in the Danish press and on Facebook that young girls/women had developed some symptoms characterized by damage to the skin, nervous system, immune system, etc. These symptoms were associated to the Gardasil vaccine.

It was claimed that the vaccination was stopped in Denmark and that the injured were diagnosed and treated for all the many serious damages which were described. The problem is that many did not know and still do not know, the strange symptoms they experienced after Gardasil injections are vaccine injuries.

The health authorities responded by promoting the vaccine and saying the serious injuries of the HPV vaccine was Functional disorders, caused by psychological reasons. The Danish Health and Medicines Authority however would increase surveillance of the HPV vaccine, but nothing was communicated about this, and the doctors did not get any information about the strong suspicion, and they were not informed about the contraindications for the HPV vaccine, it was quite obvious that The Danish Health and Medicines Authority, SSI and The Danish Cancer Society had a financial interest in promoting the vaccine.

At one point, however it was admitted that the HPV vaccine can injure the youngsters. The Minister of Health Nick Hækkerup therefore answers:

“The Danish Health and Medicines Authority consider it important to ensure that patients receive a comprehensive diagnose and treatment, and there is a particular challenge for The Regions to ensure that for patients with severe and unexplained symptoms  this requires collaboration across specialties.”

Subsequently, it was asked for an expert committee to assist The Regions in diagnosing and treating the injured. The Regions thought this was a good idea, but The Danish Health and Medicines Authority refused.

It is important to keep in mind that new HPV injured patients will continue to emerge, because we continue to vaccinate!

Since then, the focus has raised on the HPV vaccine safety outside Denmark, due to healthcare professionals and people around the world linking the severe injuries and possible deaths to the HPV vaccine.

India has cancelled the HPV vaccine trials after 7 deaths and multiple adverse events after vaccine administration.

Japan has pulled the government recommendation for HPV vaccines and replaced their top three government health officials after discovering the high incidence of adverse reactions after HPV vaccine administration.

Spain has scheduled trials.

France discusses the pros and cons.

England’s vaccination victims have been speaking in The Parliament.

Columbia is in turmoil due to deaths and severe injuries ……

The association of HPV Update has held two meetings convened by The Ministry of Health. The Regions and the Danish Health and Medicines Authority were also invited to discuss the frequency and severity of injuries caused by the HPV vaccine.

A worldwide non-profit organization was founded in 2010, SaneVax (Safe affordable, necessary and effective vaccines) in response to the HPV vaccine controversy. This is the link www.sanevax.org

In Denmark, the pressure on the Health Authorities has been so strong that the Minister of Health, Nick Hækkerup, has put diagnosing and treatment in the hands of the Regions.

To make sure that ordinary people and professionals can recognize the HPV vaccine damages, I have summarized these as they are mentioned in the manufacturer Merck’s “leaflet.” The Danish Authorities have not translated adequately, and therefore many of the adverse events are not on the Danish translation. It is a big mistake!

The adverse events are listed below. It must be remembered that the individual injured can have many symptoms at the same time. Most HPV vaccine injured have over 15 symptoms simultaneously.

  • Anaphylactic reaction
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Inflammation of the pancreas
  • Inflammation of the stomach / intestines
  • Inflammation in other tissues, such as muscles and tendons
  • Inflammation of the sinuses
  • Inflammation of the bladder
  • Inflammation of the lungs
  • Inflammation of the brain
  • Inflammation of the kidney / pelvic
  • Chest pain, they are as violent as by a blood clot in the heart or lungs.
  • Fainting
  • Cell changes in the cervix (if at the time of vaccination, the HP virus in the blood).
  • Death
  • Diarrhoea
  • Fever
  • Guillain-Barre syndrome
  • Headache
  • Cough
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Hypersensitivity
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Weakness
  • Chills (fever)
  • Jaw Pain
  • Nausea
  • Paralysis
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle pain
  • Hives
  • Vomiting
  • POTS (high heart rate, low blood pressure)
  • Insomnia
  • Spasms in the lungs bronchi
  • Dizziness
  • Toothache
  • Fatigue

If you have many of these symptoms, consult your doctor. Bring this article with you, so he can diagnose HPV vaccine injury, and invalidate the diagnosis Functional suffering – and therefore refer you to one of The Region’s hospitals or orthomolecular doctors who can provide you proper treatment paid by The Region.

The characteristic of the HPV injured is that they largely tell the same history of severe tiredness, general aches and pain throughout the body, headache, fainting, seizures, etc.., so that they spend most of their time in bed, and are unable to carry out their schooling, work or household responsibilities. In short term, their functional and work are reduced from 100% to below 30%.

It is encouraging that there is now a symptomatic and perhaps curative treatment!

The reason for the HPV vaccine injuries is finding mitochondria (the cellular powerhouses) at the cellular level destroyed by metals such as lead, mercury, aluminium and artificial HPV DNA.

The treatment is well known in the form of intravenous vitamin C and Glutathione, as well as supplement of vitamins and salts, and to avoid foods that contain metals and allergens.

Several young women have been treated successfully. How long the treatment should continue, is yet unknown, but it seems that intravenous therapy improves symptoms rapidly (i.e. after 6-12 treatments) and may be discontinued after a period, so the injured can continue taking antioxidants, vitamins and salts by mouth.

It should be strongly emphasized that the treated relapse if treatment is stopped and the good effect returns when treatment is resumed.

The good thing about the treatment is that it has been used for many years for other disorders – with good effect, although not recognized by The Health Authorities in Denmark.

One big advantage is this treatment has great effect and no adverse events; unlike HPV vaccines which have plenty of adverse events and has no effect!

The intravenous treatment may be performed by the patient’s GP, but when The Minister of Health has handed over the responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment to The Regions, it must be the hospitals around The Regions that are responsible for treating the HPV vaccine injured when the diagnosis is made. The diagnosis is currently clinically, but safe laboratory tests are under development.

Treatment Protocol:

The intravenous treatment consists of vitamin C administered 2 times a week and Glutathione 1 time per week. Start example is: IV. Vitamin C  25 grams in 250-500 ml of Ringer’s Lactate administered over 3-4 hours, for example, Monday and Friday. Iv. Glutathione Wednesdays, 200-1.200 mg administered in 100-250 ml of saline over 1-1 ½ hours. Vitamin C is gradually increased to 50 grams after 4 infusions. Glutathione increased from 200-1.200 mg after some infusions.

It’s worth knowing:

By IV. Vitamin C the patient are recommended to drink at least 1 ½ litres of water.

The rest of the day the patient are recommended to continue to drink much water.

In order to strengthen the intravenous treatment it is recommended to make a vitamin and mineral plan for supplements. A significant and effective action is seen by the following vitamin and mineral combinations by mouth:

Vitamin C in large doses, Vitamin E, Selenium, Q10, Omega 3, Magnesium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), Lime, Zinc, Alpha Lipoic acid and N-Acetyl Cysteine.

The dosage and selection of the above should be performed by a specialist in the area. Intravenous treatments should be performed by physicians with adequate experience in the field. The patients’ safety comes first.

Insomnia is a known adverse event after the HPV vaccine. In order to improve sleep it is recommended to take Melatonin which is released over 6 hours.

Avoid food and drinks containing sugar, avoid light products too.

E-numbers and aluminium are found everywhere – try to avoid it. E171, E173 and E621 and aluminium should be avoided completely. There are aluminium (E173) and titanium dioxin (171) everywhere. Baking soda, white flour, white sugar, toothpaste, deodorants, cosmetics, candy, seasoning and often in pills…

The HPV vaccine provides food intolerance frequently. Pay attention to the quality of food. Until the immune system is in place and the nervous system damages are restored, all food is recommended to be organic. This also applies to dietary supplements.

With C-vitamin/Glutathione treatment protocol

By Anika Hjorth, Denmark

Gardasil changed our lives

This is the sequel to Gardasil changed my whole life.

I have been in treatment for six weeks now. The first three weeks I only got IV C-vitamin, starting at half dose (25.000 mg). Glutathione was also given IV in half dose to begin with (See protocol here).

September 11th – after 42 days of treatment – 11 IV C-vitamin and 3 IV glutathione

I have listed my symptoms before and after treatment. The treatment continues.

  • Extremely low blood pressure (down to 70/43). Only a few days in the beginning of the treatment, none since that time
  • Nausea. Stopped after 8 treatments with C-vitamin
  • Fluctuating heart rate. A few days in the beginning
  • Burning pain in the body. Still some pain in the legs – but getting better
  • Heartburn. Disappeared after 8 treatments with C-vitamins
  • Pressure in the chest, difficulties breathing – often in the evening/during the night. Had a severe event as the body could not take the high dose of C-vitamin. Then the dose was lowered and the symptom disappeared
  • Short of breath even when doing light exercise. Still a symptom – Is really getting better
  • Disturbance in short-time memory. No problems any longer
  • Pain in the stomach. No problems any longer
  • Lots of pain the legs and the soles of the foot. Still lots of pain
  • Loss of strength in the muscles
  • Heavy pain during menstruation and strong bleeding. Still very painful but reduction of bleeding

After startup of treatment I have a better appetite and a stronger desire to live. The bubble I have been living in for 1½ years has disappeared – I have a huge surplus of energy….

Sequel to: Gardasil Changed My Whole Life

Tomorrow’s post goes into detail on Anika’s healing protocol. 

Thank you Anika, for sharing these details, and God Bless!!

Questions Surrounding Review of Challenged Vaccine-Autism Study#Vaccines#iBelieve#A.S.D.

Did the medical journal Pediatrics stand by a questioned vaccine-autism study without interviewing the coauthor who confessed to and exposed alleged scientific misconduct?

If so, that would deviate from what should be standard procedure in such an investigation, according to internationally recognized medical ethicist Dr. Michael Carome.“If the evidence seems substantial, the journal should contact all co-authors, present them with the allegations and supporting evidence, and ask them to respond,” says Carome, a research ethics expert who heads the Health Research Group at the watchdog group Public Citizen.Last month, William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stepped forward to say that he and his CDC coauthors omitted key data showing a link between MMR vaccine and autism in African American children. The study was published in 2004 in the journalPediatrics.“I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information,” said Thompson…

How to determine the value of a vaccine#IBelieve#Family#Vaccines

jv Leave a comment

By Sandy Lunoe

International health authorities use enormous resources to promote every new vaccine developed as providing nothing but benefits for the average medical consumer and society as a whole.  Efforts are focused on increasing uptake of various vaccines. However, there are serious considerations which should be adequately addressed prior to the issue of vaccine uptake.

Just imagine what would happen to a family’s budget if they bought a new car and ignored the fact that it got half the gas mileage of their current vehicle. If the family finances were already pushed to the limit, this could be disastrous.

Despite the fact healthcare budgets around the world are strained to the breaking point, a recent study, “Valuing vaccination,” edited by Novartis vaccines decidedly promotes vaccines and even more extensive vaccination.

This paper basically outlines how to improve the PR campaign for universal vaccination programs. Positive cost/benefit issues are presented without reservation.

However, there are numerous details omitted from this paper which must be taken into account in order to determine the true cost/benefit ratio for any vaccine prior to including it in a national vaccination program.

SaneVax Inc. maintains four common sense criteria must be met prior to the introduction of any vaccine: The vaccine should be proven Safe, Affordable, Necessary and Effective.

Following are some issues which must be closely examined in order to accurately determine any vaccine’s value to any given country. They are at least as important as vaccine uptake, if not more so.

SAFE

  • What serious adverse reactions are anticipated with the vaccine? What subset of the population is most susceptible?
  • Long term adverse reactions include autoimmune conditions of which there are more than a hundred. What subset of the population is most susceptible to autoimmune disorders with the vaccine?
  • How many fatalities are expected per 100,000 injections of this vaccine?
  • What are the potential consequences of interactions between ingredients in this vaccine and ingredients of other vaccines that may be administered at the same time?
  • What are the potential consequences of synergistic toxicity due to administration of several substances and/or several doses of the same substances?
  • Are there any ingredients in the vaccine that increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier with potentially detrimental consequences including brain damage?
  • Is this vaccine vial stopper made of latex/rubber? If so, what percentage of the population is susceptible to allergic reactions because of the packaging?
  • What percentage of our population is likely to be susceptible to allergic reactions to this vaccine’s ingredients?
  • Does this vaccine contain any ingredients that are known to impair fertility? Suspected of impairing fertility?
  • Has this vaccine been tested for the potential to cause genetic mutations?
  • Does this vaccine contain any foreign DNA? If so, what are the potential consequences of injecting this material?
  • Are there any genetically engineered components in this vaccine? If so, what are the potential detrimental health consequences including cancers regarding injection of these recombinant ingredients?
  • Has this vaccine been tested for the potential to cause cancer?
  • Has this vaccine been tested for safety in pregnant women?
  • What are the odds of the bacteria or virus targeted in this vaccine being replaced by another more virulent strain?

Affordable

  • What is the current cost of treating those who contract the disease targeted by this vaccine versus the cost of vaccinating the population susceptible to contracting it?
  • What is the anticipated cost to the vaccine injured for loss of social network, activities, education and prospects of employment?
  • What is the anticipated cost to parents and caregivers for anticipated vaccine injuries?
  • What is the anticipated cost of medications and treatments for the vaccine injured?
  • What is the anticipated cost to society for loss of paid work, mental and physical burdens, loss of productivity, etc… due to either injuries or family members caring for the injured?
  • What is the cost to the community and tax payers for treatment and care of the injured?
  • Would the money spent on this vaccine be more wisely used by investing in other areas of healthcare?

Necessary

  • How prevalent is the disease targeted by this vaccine?
  • Does the risk of contracting this disease justify a mass vaccination program?
  • What other preventive measures are available for this disease?
  • What treatments are currently available for this disease?
  • What risks are involved with using the currently available treatments?
  • What are the long and short term health consequences of contracting the targeted disease?
  • What percentage of those who contract this disease will face long term health consequences?

Effective

  • How many people need to use this vaccine in order to avoid each case of the targeted disease?
  • Out of each 100 people vaccinated, how many will be protected from contracting the disease?
  • How long will this protection last? Is the need for boosters anticipated?
  • Does this vaccine target the genotype of bacteria/virus prevalent in our country?
  • What is the possibility of the vaccine targeted bacteria/virus mutating in response to being suppressed?
  • What are the chances of the bacteria/virus targeted by this vaccine being replaced by a more virulent type as a result of suppressing the original one?
  • What storage and transportation requirements exist to maintain the original efficacy of this vaccine?

As you can clearly see, there are many questions which must be answered in order to determine whether or not any particular vaccine has enough value to be added to a national immunization program.

Only after the answers are provided, should vaccine uptake become an issue.

“If people let Government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.” (Thomas Jefferson)

AAVP asks Spanish Health Ministry to Ban HPV Vaccines#HPV#Vaccines#CDCchat

jv Leave a comment
 By Alicia Capilla, AAVP

AAVP letterheadAAVP meets Spanish Health Ministry representatives to ask for the withdrawal of HPV vaccines from the Official vaccination schedule of Spain and informs there are three cases of suspected death and numerous cases of suspected serious adverse reactions in our country and around the world.

Last Tuesday the 26th of August, Spanish Health Ministry representatives and Alicia Capilla, President of AAVP (Association of people affected by HPV vaccine) together with Francisco Almódovar (attorney from the firm Almódovar&Jara) held an important meeting  with three representatives of the team of  Mrs. Mercedes Vinuesa, General Director  of Public Health in the quarters of the Spanish Health Ministry.

AAV President, Alicia Capilla

Alicia Capilla stated that Spanish Health Authorities have not been responsible because families did not receive information prior to vaccination about the risks their daughters have suffered after receiving the HPV vaccine, thus the right we have as citizens to have therapeutic informed consent has been violated.

Besides, the health care for the victims of papillomavirus vaccine damage has been inadequate since 2009 when the first serious reactions began to occur.

Mrs. Capilla stated that Spanish Health Authorities have not recognized the adverse reactions – most of them serious- that affected girls suffered after receiving the HPV vaccine, even though the reactions they suffered are registered in the product leaflet and in numerous similar reports to the Spanish and European databases. That is incomprehensible and a big contradiction.

Why don´t Health Authorities want to recognize these events when they are reported in the product information leaflet and corroborated by thousands of reports around the world?

In Spain, there are 737 reports of suspected adverse reactions (until January 2012) and three suspected cases of death. We have asked Health Authorities to give us an update on the number of adverse reactions reported since 2012 and they have not given us this information.

Why don´t they want to give us this information if that is a matter of transparency of Public Health and they support the idea that the vaccine is safe?

In Europe the number of reports of suspected adverse reactions is also huge. In a survey done by AAVP there are more than 150 reports that ended in death and 11,814 serious reports.

According to the French Committee of Pharmacovigilance, since its marketing in 2006, there are 2092 cases (representing 5850 adverse reactions) including 503 serious cases. The report of the French Committee presents also International data, with 160,538 adverse reactions, 26,675 are serious. In VAERS (American System of reports of side effects after vaccination) the data is also alarming, there are 35,270 reports altogether, more than 150 reports of suspected deaths and 4920 serious events, taking into account that less than 10% of adverse reactions are reported in the U.S., this figure must be much higher.

It is very important to note that most adverse reactions reported after HPV vaccinations around the world are neurological disorders. Taking into account all this data, we have requested the Health Ministry to investigate seriously the efficacy of this vaccine.

Alicia Capilla stated that so much nonsense cannot be justified by ignorance as our daughters have not been the unique girls, not even the first ones who have suffered side effects after the vaccination. We believe it is an insult to human intelligence to state they are all coincidental or psychological problems because most of these reactions are already listed in the leaflet of the vaccines.

It is obvious: when different people, in different parts of the world, at different times react to a drug/vaccine in the same way, as is the case with HPV vaccines – something has to be wrong with the product in question – particularly when the Ministry has recognized this vaccine, like any medicine, causes adverse effects.

AAVP believes that Health Authorities should change their strategy. Not acknowledging the existence of adverse reactions makes investigation impossible. For that reason, we believe the number of reactions will be higher and higher and the problem will be bigger and bigger. This is not acceptable.

For that reason we have asked the Spanish Health Ministry to follow a Protocol in which they:

  • Recognize the adverse reactions (most of which are already registered in the leaflet of the product, the databases of European  Countries, EEUU and scientific literature) and the status of victims of the HPV vaccine.
  • Give adequate health care to affected people, who trusted in Public Health when they decided to vaccinate.
  • Create a Compensation Fund for damage from vaccines as it exists in other countries like USA and France.
  • Scientifically investigate all deaths and RAMs after HPV vaccine administration.
  • Sponsor scientific debates in Spain similar to those in other countries such as France and Japan.
  • Conduct an accurate and updated study of the reports of suspected adverse reactions in our country in which the most common RAMs should be studied and the incidence of suffering an adverse reaction estimated.
  • Re-evaluate the benefit-risk of HPV vaccines and stop the inclusion of, and funding for, this vaccine in the National Health System of our country, since it seems –according to international and national scientific bibliography that:
    • HPV vaccines are not safe – taking into account the huge numbers of suspected deaths and serious reports and the fact that the vaccines contain  viral DNA which can be harmful for human beings-
    • They are not effective – they only target two or four serotypes (depending if it is Gardasil® or Cervarix® the two vaccines in the market). We need at least 20 or 25 years to check if women who were vaccinated developed more or less cases of cervical cancer in relation to non- vaccinated women.
    • HPV vaccines are not necessary – there are other harmless methods of prevention such as cytology that does not cause harm to women, and must be done even if they have been vaccinated because HPV vaccines do not target all carcinogenic serotypes.

Furthermore in this re-evaluation Health Authorities should take into account that:

  • This vaccine is given to healthy young women.
  • Spain is a country with a low incidence and mortality from cervical cancer.
  • The vaccine is not effective against all carcinogenic serotypes.
  • Nobody knows the duration of immunity of HPV vaccines or whether young women will need more boosters in the future.
  • There is no justification for exposing healthy young women to unnecessary risks of serious health problems when there are other preventive methods available, such as the cytology, that do not cause any harm.

Officials who participated in the meeting, led by the Director General of Public Health, Mercedes Vinuesa recognize that they must strengthen information provided to citizens and health professionals about the benefits and risks of the HPV and improve the informed consent prior to administration of HPV vaccines.

If anything has become clear during this meeting, it is that in the case of HPV vaccinations the Spanish healthcare system failed to provide adequate information prior to HPV vaccinations and failed to provide adequate health care for those adversely affected by those vaccinations.

Therefore, the Health Ministry has agreed to study the cases of young affected girls, follow their paths, and hold another meeting with AAVP in two weeks’ time to provide answers to AAVP´s requests.
