Written By: Jeffrey Jaxen

Piece by piece the foundation and historical legacy of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine is fast approaching the reality anticipated by former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturers Merck when he stated in 2014, “I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times…” 

In Europe, the ‘safe and effective’ HPV misinformation appears to have run its course. Receiving no coverage by mainstream media sources, the Nordic Cochrane Centre has filed its second complaint in five months – this time to the European ombudsman – over maladministration at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in relation to the safety of the HPV vaccines.

According to the Nordic Cochrane Centre, its first complaint to the EMA filed on May 26, 2016 was met with replies that did not fully address their concerns. The Centre writes in its new complaint that…

Norway: Force-vaccinated with Gardasil#android#iPad#retweet

By mother Stine-Marie Buer Hasvold. Skien Norway

I didn't consent to Gardasil

I didn’t consent to Gardasil

Caroline was born in 2000 and is now 15 years old. My daughter was very sociable, full of energy and always together with her many friends – running, cycling and playing football. She always had a good appetite.

The only information we were given when the Gardasil vaccine was offered was that it may cause influenza like symptoms which were temporary, just like other vaccines for children.

Even though I had written in the notice book and given information that if she did not want the vaccine, then she MUST NOT be given it – Caroline was held by one nurse whilst another nurse administered the vaccine!

A few days later, half of Caroline’s face became paralyzed. She was admitted to the local hospital where tests were done but they found NOTHING wrong.  I told them I was sure Gardasil was the cause, but they did not listen.

This was the only examination Caroline has had since Gardasil administration. We have not had any follow up because the hospital and doctor say that the problems are mentally caused. They maintain that the symptoms occurred six months after Caroline’s grandmother died; therefore, the sorrow of her death triggered it all!

Needless to say, Caroline only had the first injection of the three that are recommended.

No doctor will listen. They say that Caroline needs mental therapy for her sorrow after my mother’s death. She has had no more tests or treatment because no one believes us. Now she feels pain in her whole body and just wants to sleep. She feels ill all the time. She hardly manages to do anything, has poor memory, heart palpitations, stabbing pain in her chest, and sometimes has breathing difficulties. She often has headaches and now has a poor appetite. She gets tired just by going to the toilet. She can’t walk or cycle any particular distance – her legs go weak and lose feeling. She is bedridden most of the
time.

There has not been any medical help and no support or understanding from Caroline’s new school.
She now goes to school as long as she can but on the days when her legs are too weak I drive her there. She has had eight days and 24 hours absence this spring. She has only attained 2 as her final grade. She was absent from school 15 days in the autumn. Her school work takes a long time, she finds
it difficult to concentrate because of pain and she feels very tired both mentally and physically. Her sight in one eye has become weaker.

Hanging onto hope!

Hanging onto hope!

Caroline has been told by her teachers that she is lazy, which adds to her suffering and is heartbreaking for us as we know how much pain she has and how hard she is struggling. If only the teachers would believe that Caroline is ill and would try to understand.

Some parents say that we should not tell others about the risks from Gardasil because they believe that the vaccine prevents cervical cancer, but we have heard that  proof that the vaccine prevents cervical cancer will not be available for many years.

The nurse who administered Gardasil against my daughter’s will came to our home and contacted us several times. She told us they were extremely afraid that we could scare other children about taking the vaccine and that we MUST NOT mention the vaccine in connection with our daughter being ill.

We hardly hear about other girls in Norway who are suffering after Gardasil, but there are reports of thousands in other countries across the world and many of them are ill with the same symptoms as Caroline.

We are very grateful that Caroline’s story is being published so that it will reach out to many others to warn about the possible dangers of the vaccine.

I am beginning to lose hope for Caroline’s future as she is gradually becoming more and more ill. Maybe HPV infections do take some people’s lives; maybe they don’t. All I know is I would rather have watched my daughter enjoy her teenage years instead of spending those years worrying about her future.

Please DON’T let your children be test subjects for a vaccine which has ruined the lives of so many.

UK AHVID responds to EMA conclusion that HPV vaccines do not cause POTS or CRPS#android#iPad#retweet

AHVID loco

By Steve Hinks email steve@hinksfamily.co.uk)

The European Medicines Agency has today released the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee’s conclusion of their review of HPV vaccines in relation to two serious neurological conditions, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Complex Region Pain Syndrome (CRPS).  The PRAC assessment concluded that the available evidence does not support that CRPS and POTS are caused by HPV vaccines.

The UK Association of HPV Vaccine Injured Daughters (AHVID) is extremely disappointed by the committee’s findings and concerned by the lack of transparency and opportunity to scrutinize the evidence considered by the PRAC before the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopts the committee’s findings.

Freda Birrell, Chair of AHVID said:

“Groups across Europe representing families of girls suffering new health conditions following HPV vaccination will naturally be very disappointed with this investigation and we are particularly concerned that the evidence considered by the PRAC will not be made available for scrutiny until after CHMP has reviewed the PRAC Assessment and adopted the decision. We have even been denied a request to know which experts submitted evidence. This shroud of secrecy is very concerning – something is leaving these girls seriously ill! We are however, very encouraged by the recent award of research funding from the Danish health authorities to a Danish team of doctors, to research adverse reactions to the HPV vaccination, and we await the results of that research with anticipation, particularly in light of recent reports from Denmark estimating 1 in 400 girls are suffering serious adverse reactions to the HPV vaccination.”

AHVID recently conducted a survey of members for information to submit to the EMA review.  The findings from nearly 100 members highlighted massive under-reporting of adverse reactions by health professionals, a failure of health professionals to recognize and acknowledge adverse reactions and the difficulties experienced getting a POTS diagnosis, with most girls waiting for more than two years.  Shockingly, the survey also found over 90% of respondents were initially told by their doctors that their symptoms were psychological.

The PRAC appear to have based their decision on their statement that the available estimates suggest natural rates of both POTS and CRPS to be around 150 girls per million in the age range of 10 to 19.  AHVID are unable to comment on this statement because the request for copies of evidence and reports considered by the Committee have been refused until the Review is finalized, but the group remain convinced the HPV vaccination is resulting in girls developing serious autoimmune and neurological conditions, including POTS and CRPS.

The PRAC makes reference to an overlap of CRPS and POTS symptoms with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and the ‘large published study that showed no link between HPV vaccine and CFS’, which the Committee considered particularly relevant. The study ‘Bivalent HPV vaccine and the risk of fatigue syndromes in girls in the UK’ was undertaken and authored by MHRA scientists, it was looking only at the Cervarix vaccine, used data from the CRPD database which is collected for clinical management, not research, was open to confounding and selection bias and was at the mercy of the accuracy of GPs inputting accurate diagnostic codes. The study would also have been unlikely to have picked out cases of POTS or CRPS and would certainly have missed the many girls with POTS who were initially misdiagnosed with anxiety or psychological conditions.

AHVID will continue to support families with girls suffering new health conditions following HPV vaccination and will continue to fight for better treatment for the affected girls, more transparency and full information about the risks of this vaccination to be made available to parents prior to consent. Their aim is also to ensure the MHRA are held to account and made to follow up all reports of serious adverse reactions, which currently does not happen.

Notes:

  1. AHVID recently conducted a member questionnaire and, so far, has received almost 100 responses. Information for the first 94 responses had been already shared with the EMA. Many of the questionnaire responses leave no doubt whatsoever in our opinion that these vaccines have at least contributed to the girls’ side effects.

AHVID has found that in the first 94 questionnaire submissions:

  • Yellow Cards have only been submitted by 13 doctors whilst the girls had been seen by a total of approximately 858 doctors. There were also 7 doctors who refused to raise Yellow Cards.
  • 15 of these had reactions after the 1st and/or 2nd dose. They continued to have the 2nd and 3rd doses because the serious side effects were not perceived to be adverse reactions to the vaccine.  They had all been told that the vaccine is safe and side-effects are only mild and short term.
  • 27 girls had reactions on the same day as the vaccine, some of them within minutes. A further 22 had reactions within 7 days of vaccination and a further 16 within 30 days. This cannot be a coincidence.
  • 66 girls with previously regular periods developed severe problems, many of them serious. 20 girls with irregular periods developed new problems, many of them serious. At least 4 girls have been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries.
  • 53 girls were found to have vitamin and mineral deficiencies with 33 of these being for vitamin D.
  • 24 have confirmed POTS diagnosis, some took 6 and a half years from vaccination to be diagnosed
  • 37 have not been diagnosed with POTS but have an average of 16 typical POTS symptoms. Some had 33 typical POTS symptoms. 19 were refused POTS assessments.
  • 8 have confirmed diagnosis of CRPS.
  • 76 have not been diagnosed with CRPS but have an average of 5 typical CRPS symptoms. 14 were refused CRPS assessments.

HPV Vaccines: Freda Birrell Addresses Scottish Petitions Committee#android#iPad#retweet

jlvranes Leave a comment

Freda Birrell

I would like to thank the Committee for allowing me to provide additional information relating to my request for ‘A round table discussion to be held at Edinburgh between scientists and medical professionals from both sides of the HPV vaccine safety debate.’  I speak today on behalf of not only the UK Association for HPV Vaccine Injured Daughters who have had their lives turned upside down after HPV vaccine administration, but each of the 2019 people from 55 countries who signed because they are having similar experiences and support open scientific discussions.

Our association was organized at the beginning of this year when it became apparent that we needed to co-ordinate everyone’s individual efforts as a group. Our association represents families from Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland operating under the banner of HPV Vaccine Injured Daughters (AHVID).  As a group, we were able to receive greater publicity. The increased awareness caused our membership to grow by leaps and bounds. Our initial group of 60 members has expanded to 208 and rising. Despite the fact that Scotland only accounts for 8% of the UK population; 15% of the association’s members come from Scotland. We don’t know how many others are out there, but for now there appears to be no end in sight.

A senior politician within the Irish Government, Pashal Mooney, gave an impassioned plea to Irish Government officials regarding the Irish HPV vaccination program, lack of informed consent and the devastating effects on young girls around the country. He specifically mentions Irish girls being admitted to psychiatric hospitals following HPV vaccinations.

Japan has rescinded the government recommendation for HPV vaccines and initiated studies to determine whether there is a causal relationship between HPV vaccines and adverse outcomes as well as a 21 year study to determine whether HPV vaccines have an impact on cervical cancer diagnosis rates.

  • In Denmark, the National Association of HPV Adverse Sufferers is hosting an HPV Vaccine Information Symposium to bring families together with medical professionals, health authorities and legal professionals to explore treatment options and potential legal remedies on October 31st. Denmark has just recently made the decision to change from Gardasil to Cervarix as the HPV vaccine of choice. 24 Oct 2015, at the urging of Liselott Blixt, Danish politician with a Gardasil injured daughter the Danish government has set aside 7 million kroner to conduct an independent investigation into the HPV vaccine and its side effects.

Our association is in the process of compiling information to submit to the EMA for consideration during their safety assessment of HPV vaccines. Of the 88 family reports analysed to date: 68% reported their daughters experienced health problems serious enough to interfere with their education; 24% reported symptoms so severe their daughter could no longer participate in educational activities; 70% required help with daily care; and a full 91% reported being told their daughters’ medical conditions were psychological in origin.

Psychological in origin? Interesting to note that national health authorities in Denmark, Norway, Japan, France, Spain, Colombia, Ireland, and many other countries have led doctors and other vaccine administrators to believe that any new medical conditions experienced after HPV vaccine administration are most likely psychosomatic. Consequently, when the average medical health professional is faced with a patient exhibiting symptoms they have never seen before; symptoms which do not fit neatly into any current diagnostic criteria, the natural assumption is psychological problems as have been experienced by many UK families.

So, I put forth these facts for your consideration:

  • According to Merck’s Gardasil 9 package insert, 3.3% of participants who were given Gardasil during the most recent clinical trials “experienced new medical conditions potentially indicative of autoimmune disorders.” (3,300/100,000 recipients)
  • According to a press release from Sanofi-Pasteur MSD dated June 17, 2015, 183 million doses of Gardasil have been distributed worldwide.
  • Using Merck’s own clinical trial percentage, this means there could be as many as 6,039,000 girls around the world suffering autoimmune conditions which could very well influence their health for the rest of their lives.
  • According to the World Cancer Research Foundation, there were 528,000 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed worldwide in 2012.

Is this worth the risk? I am very much aware HPV vaccines are a controversial issue and that this information puts Scotland at a cross-roads with a difficult decision to make.

Do we accept what the manufacturer and their list of experts are saying and assume HPV vaccines are safe and effective and there just happens to be an epidemic of psychosomatic disorders spreading round the world affecting certain young people who have one thing in common, they were injected with HPV vaccines?

Or, do we listen to experts from both sides, try to discover exactly what the situation is and make every effort we can to get the problem solved?

Do we sweep all of these families under the proverbial ‘psychological disorder’ carpet and ignore their misery; or do we treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve by using every means at our disposal to identify those at risk of serious adverse reactions and develop successful treatment protocols for those already suffering?

Please, demonstrate to the world that Scotland is still a country that does not ignore the suffering of innocents.

Show the world Scotland is not afraid to hold open, honest scientific discussions no matter how controversial the subject might be.

Court told of ‘horrendous adverse effects’ of HPV vaccine#android#iPad#retweet

jlvranes Leave a comment

by Mary Carolan

A mother who claims her daughter suffered “horrendous adverse effects” after receiving the HPV vaccine against cervical cancer has brought legal proceedings.

Fiona Kirby, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, is a member of a parents support group, REGRET (Reaction and Effects of Gardasil Resulting in Extreme Trauma), for those who claim their teenage girls became ill after getting the vaccine.

Ms Kirby, a nurse, is seeking a High Court order for the withdrawal of the license given for the Gardasil HPV vaccine, currently being offered to the parents of 11-16 year old girls as a possible cervical cancer preventative.

An order restraining the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA), which monitors health products in Ireland, proceeding with use of Gardasil in any vaccine programme is also sought.

The vaccine has been offered to teenage girls in Ireland since May 2010 as part of the schools vaccination programme and is recommended by the World Health Organsiation.

After Gardasil: I simply want my healthy daughter back

jlvranes Leave a comment

By Anja Brix Larsen, Ringsted, Denmark

Natasja

Natasja

Prior to Natasja being vaccinated with Gardasil, she led a very active and healthy lifestyle.  Now please see what has happened to her since the Gardasil vaccine was injected into her body.

My daughter Natasja had the three shots of Gardasil in May, August and December of 2011.

After her second shot she started having severe headaches, tunnel vision and short term loss of her peripheral vision.   I went to the doctor as I was concerned.  Natasja developed a sore throat after her third vaccination. She could not eat and was in a lot of pain throughout her body.  My daughter was very ill for 14 days.

Natasja’s pains did not diminish throughout 2012 and the level of her pain increased.  This continued and there did not appear to be any respite. As we continued into the early part of 2013 her health deteriorated. The pain was constant and she had sensory disturbances on the right side of her face and down her right arm along with blurred vision and severe headaches.    Natasja was hospitalized and after a lumbar puncture was diagnosed with a neurological disorder and Borrelia, otherwise known as Lyme disease.

That was the very first diagnosis we had received.  The situation did not improve throughout 2013. Things just became more frustrating as her symptoms seemed to increase all the time.  Her headaches became more painful, she was nauseous, vomiting a lot of the time, having heart palpitations and finding it very difficult to concentrate.  There was hardly a part of Natasja’s body that was not painful. 

We were of course attending the doctor or being admitted again into hospital.  She was also starting to get some physiotherapy.  Her second diagnosis in March of 2013 was severe pain and benign intracranial increased pressure.

Joint Swelling

Joint Swelling

The year did not get any better. Natasja’s pains became more severe. Her knee joints would swell up (see picture) and at times she could hardly manage to get upstairs.  Her stomach cramps increased and she was having serious diarrhoea.  During this time we were consulting a Rheumatologist and also a hormone specialist who was concerned about Natasja’s size and height.

In August 2013, Natasja was hospitalized again as she was still having serious headaches and continued to be nauseous.  This time she was diagnosed with Cephalalgia which is described as a pain in her head caused by dilation of cerebral arteries or muscle contractions or a reaction to drugs.

The headaches and feeling sick continued and was truly disrupting her life.  She was still losing feeling in her left leg but as always the doctor had no idea why this was happening.  This doctor wanted to try and keep a watchful eye on how she was progressing and I did mention to him about the HPV vaccine.  Natasja was put on to another drug, amitriptyline 10 mg which was to be increased until she was on seven tablets a day. 

She was still going to school, or trying to, but it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to do so.  The school was very good in that they provided a bed for her to have a rest if she needed to.  Eventually they allowed our daughter to go for a few hours per day and to attend in classes that would not be too difficult for her.

Then in October 2013, Natasja had to be admitted again to Frederiksberg Hospital and this time she was diagnosed as having POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). This condition is an abnormality of the functioning of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system.  Some of the medications she is on do not appear to be helping and they will be reviewing these and making changes as and when they think it is right to do so. 

Natasja has lost of a lot of weight and her body is bloated as if there is a lot of fluid retention.  Her legs are particularly vulnerable to this swelling.

Things do not improve as we go into 2014.  To allow our daughter to sleep we had to call the emergency medical service who gave her a morphine tablet.  In January, she was re-admitted to hospital, yet again. 

This is a list of the symptoms she has experienced since being vaccinated. 

Unexplained Rash

Unexplained Rash

List of Symptoms:

  • Severe headache, high pressure in her head;
  • Visual disturbances;
  • Dizziness and confusion, difficulty concentrating;
  • Sleeplessness;
  • Unexplained rashes;
  • Cannot cope with questions;   difficulty in making decisions;
  • Sweating and freezing at the same time;   cold fingers and legs; trembling hands;
  • Chest pains and palpitations; feeling pressure in her chest; heartburn;
  • Nauseous almost all of the time; frequent v omitting;
  • Muscular, stomach, leg pains;
  • Bloated body and swollen legs, difficulty in walking;
  • Tension and pain in neck and back;
  • Swollen tonsils, swollen lymph nodes;
  • Mouth ulcers, dry mouth;
  • Fatigue, feeling faint;
  • High pulse; heart throbbing.

A link is also provided here to the diary I kept of all the events which have taken place since Natasja was vaccinated way back in 2011:   Read the diary of symptoms and medical visits kept by Anja, mother of Natasja

Update since Natasja was released from hospital

Natasja is now home. They could not find the reason for her symptoms. They have only tried psychiatric treatment and she’s been promised a ski trip with the hospital on the 5th April 2014 to France so she can mix socially with others and try physical exercise.

She has her ups and downs, with pain worst in her knees, stomach and head. She has started home schooling run by the school. She also started handicap riding but had so much pain after two days that she had to stay in bed for a further two days afterwards. She has had a conversation with a psychiatrist at the hospital and they think it would be good for her to continue with this so we shall see what comes out of it. They say that the reason for her headaches and pain is psychiatric.

Gardasil: I want my daughter back.

Gardasil: I want my healthy daughter back.

I feel that the medicine she gets for her POTS has started to work well, she is not so often dizzy any more, just a little sometimes when everything goes black and she has to immediately lie down on the floor.

How can someone who once was so healthy suddenly develop all these illnesses and symptoms?  My greatest wish is that someone out there would help my daughter to recover, to be free of pain and to become the once healthy, happy and very active young woman she once was.

All I want is for my daughter to recover and become her old self again. That surely is not too much to ask.

Anja and Natasja, I am so sorry you have had to endure such a painful and grievous trial.  You are no doubt stronger and wiser for it but I hope and pray events turn for the better for you.

I would use caution with the psychiatric care at this point.  If the doctor doesn’t believe the symptoms are real than his care could prove detrimental.

I have recently become aware of girls and at times their mothers as well being committed rather than healed from physical symptoms.  A cowardly, and lazy alternative to healing victims of the Gardasil reactions.

Unfortunately, some will cling violently to the belief that vaccines cause little to no harm and to think that there is any doubt remaining on the effects of the Gardasil/Cervarix vaccine is hard to believe.  A situation we just have to deal with but there is good news.

Our Heavenly Father has heard the pleas and prayers and there are wonderful practitioners who have stepped up to the plate.  Men and woman of great compassion and skill.  I wouldn’t waste any time with practitioners who do not understand your plight.  Every day is so precious and Natasja can have healing begin right away.

Distance is not a consideration.  You can phone/skype and start recovery today.  You are woman of strength and this weighty trial can begin to be lifted. What a beautiful family you are and I have chosen a favorite artist to soothe some of the heaviness of the day in the clip below.

Sanevax Inc has names of doctors with a proven track record and I as well have a Featured Doctors link on my site. I wish you all the best and have you in my prayers.

Anja og Natasja , jeg er så ked af, at du har måttet udholde sådan en smertefuld og alvorlig retssag. Du er uden tvivl stærkere og klogere for det, men jeg håber og beder begivenheder vende til det bedre for dig.

Jeg ville bruge forsigtighed med psykiatrisk behandling på dette punkt. Hvis lægen ikke mener, symptomerne er reelle end hans omsorg kan være skadelig .

Jeg har for nylig blevet opmærksom på pigers og til tider deres mødre samt bliver begået snarere end helbredt fra fysiske symptomer. En fej og doven alternativ til helbredelse ofre for Gardasil reaktioner.

Desværre vil nogle klynger sig voldsomt til at tro, at vacciner forårsager lidt at ingen skade, og at tro, at der er nogen tvivl tilbage om virkningerne af Gardasil / Cervarix vaccine er svært at tro. En situation, vi bare nødt til at beskæftige sig med , men der er gode nyheder.

Vor himmelske Fader har hørt de anbringender og bønner, og der er vidunderlige praktiserende læger, der har optrappet til pladen. Mænd og kvinde af stor medfølelse og dygtighed . Jeg ville ikke spilde tiden med praktiserende læger , der ikke forstår din situation . Hver dag er så dyrebar og Natasja kan have helbredende begynde med det samme .

Afstanden er ikke en overvejelse. Du kan ringe / skype og starte recovery dag. Du er kvinde af styrke og denne tungtvejende retssag kan begynde at blive løftet . Sikke en smuk familie du er, og jeg har valgt en favorit kunstner til at dulme nogle af tyngde af dagen i klippet nedenfor.

Sanevax Inc har navne på læger med en dokumenteret track record , og jeg så godt have en featured Læger link på min hjemmeside. Jeg ønsker dig alt det bedste og har dig i mine bønner.
