The big pharmaceutical giants have hyjacked american democracy. Corruption rules: our freedoms are being sytematically eroded. They have seemingly unlimited resources.
We have only our voices. Will we be able to prevail agains this evil enterprise of sickness and death?

I just wanted to let everyone know that I had my yearly check up last year and it came back irregular. I had a cluster of cells on it and had to go in for 2 different coposcopies. I am happy to say that the second coposcopy came back normal. My body had worked on its own and the virus cleared up. Remember to eat right and listen to your body and hopefully we can prevent HPV in the future.

Aside from the dangerous excipients in Gardasil, the conflicts of interest involved and the fact our government is run by big pharma, HPV is not a communicable disease and has no place on the mandated vaccination schedule for school entry. This is a parent/child/doctor issue. Suzy can't pass HPV to Britney and Robert by sitting next to them in the classroom. What will be next? Mandatory birth control pills and teen sterilization?

If states do mandate this vaccine, and your little girl ends up contracting the disease anyway (which can happen), is the government going to compensate since it was their decision to force the vaccine?

As the parent of one vaccine damaged child I urge you to research this issue. The information is out there - there are risks either way. You are the only one ultimately responsible for what happens to your child, not the doctor, vaccine company or the government. You do have rights, you just need the information to support/defend/back-up yourself.

The National Vaccine Information Center has put together a web page with loads of information on HPV. When experts disagree it is up to the consumer to decide.

The HPV vaccine, like so many new vaccines, uses squalene as the adjuvant. Squalene causes autoimmune disorders. There is a large body of peer reviewed research which indicates that squalene should not be used. But money talks. And the FDA has rolled over on this.

Much of the research on these new vaccines was done by the Pentagon in partnership with the drug industry. Our tax dollars at work.

There are, of course, considerable differences between english (consumer oriented) and US (corporate oriented) laws. It seems to me, however, possible to halt this nonsense with injunctions against the school authorities and/or health authorities. Impeachment of Rick Perry may also be possible.

The grounds for the action are:

Lack of evidence that the vaccine would actually achieve anything.

Presumption of unpleasant side effects and possible permanent injury.

Malfeasance - use of public funds to further corporate interests whilst conferring zero benefit to the people.

A good lawyer can think out other grounds as well.

It would not surprise me if several school boards would also support such an action.

The american people are not helpless against the corporate "real" government but need to act in concert from the "grass roots" to regain their liberty.

We as healthcare practitioners and as consumers who have families need to become much more aggressive and contact our representatives to let them know that corporations have no business attempting to legislate their products by decree.

There has not been enough long-term clinical data to demonstrate the safe and efficacious use of Gardasil. This is quackery if ever there was.

WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN WORST IS THAT THE LOBBIEST FOR MERCK WAS THE FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF FOR GOVERNOR PERRY. THE LAST GOV. OF TEXAS CAME UP WITH THE TEXAS ALLOGRYTHM FORMAT WHERE ALL CHILDREN ARE SCREENED FOR MENTAL ILLNESS AND COERED BY SCHOOL OFFICIALS TO PUT THERE CHILDREN ON MENTAL HEALTH DRUGS . MAYBE THERES SOMETHING IN THE WATER DOWN THERE VINCE

And I thought the US was the "land of the free". We don't have any type of mandatory vaccination policy in New Zealand. I think some schools and day care centres ask if the vaccinations are up to date but they don't ask for any proof so I know a mother who just says "yes" as they're as up-to-date as what she wants them to be (which is none). This isn't to say that most people in NZ aren't brain-washed, we just had a big mass vaccination for a strain of Meningitis where the Govt used an untested vaccine!! It came from Norway where they had tested a similar vaccine but found it to be not effective and too risky, but us sheep down here just injected 1 million children with it anyway. God knows what the results are going to be down the track. Thanks to Dr Mercola and all you other bloggers for sharing so much of your knowledge.

I am appalled that Merck's power is so insidious and far-reaching that government officials are beginning to require unnecessary and dangerous vaccinations in the name of Women's Health. The last thing women need to protect their health is to have the decion-making power about how to best take care of themselves taken away and given to the powers that be...another example of profit being the motivating factor, to the exclusion of our health and well-being that is so common place in big pharma, like Merck. This the antithesis of what citizens need to improve overall health.

Vaccines, including the HPV vaccine, are wrong on many grounds. The most persuasive evidence is the non-existence of disease entities. Pathogens, symptoms, and suffering all have an objective existence. But diseases are a focus for treatment, and one that varies dependent upon the cultural context. There is no disease "cervical cancer". There are HPV viruses associated with cellular derangements, and these can occur in the cervix. The problem is with the confusion between the label and the reality. Labeling the cellular derangements that occur in the cervix as cervical cancer is a way for doctors to focus their treatment. That is a legitimate strategy. But to mistake the focus for treatment as an entity is to fall victim to the modern medical fallacy that a disease, which has no objective character, is the enemy.

The most important question here is, if cervical cancer has no objective existence, then what is the HPV vaccine protecting us against? The answer lies in the Polio statistics. Polio triggered by the Polio virus is gone. But the neuromuscular diseases that the label "Polio" actually referred to have been rising ever since the Polio vaccine was introduced. What does it matter if we no longer use the name Polio? If all other neuromuscular disorders continue to rise, as in Parkinson's, Guillame Barre Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, and so on, Polio is still here. Not only did the real Polio not disappear, it is more prevalent today than ever before, only under other names. The Polio Vaccine has protected us against an enemy that never existed. In return for this protection against a non-existent enemy, we have more neuromuscular diseases than ever.
Based upon historical evidence, the HPV vaccine should stop cellular derangement caused by HPV and simultaneously cause more cellular derangement, only with other names.

HPV avoidable with simple abstinence. Even after I contracted this virus, I disagreed with the acidic treatment options offered. With a little research, just a little, I found Force of Nature makes a natural essential oil therapy. This worked! It boosted my immune system, killed the discomfort, and I am rid of it. We only suffer from our own mistakes and laziness, as I learn more and more all the time.

Not to mention, that the virus CAN cause, even that study never said it does EVERY TIME! That reporter should do a little more research!

I had a feeling when I first started seeing the TV ads about HPV (the "Tell someone" campaign) and saw Merck's name on the screen, that a push for an HPV vaccine couldn't be far behind. I have to thank one of my college economics professors (a Libertarian), who used to always tell us, "Always ask yourself, 'Who benefits?'"

Ever since then, whenever I hear or read the words "Due to a recent study..." (or something along those lines), I ask, "Who paid for the study?"

If I had a daughter the age they require for the vaccine, I would move or home school my child. There is absolutely no way (over my dead body) I would allow anyone to inject her with this poison.

How sad that a relatively conservative governor has chosen this route. I suppose his lead will be followed by other states.

This reminds me of when my high school girls were in sixth grade. They attended the most religiously conservative school possible in SC and yet they were required to get a series of 3 hepatitis shots--the kind of hepatitis that is transmitted primarily by sexual conduct. I couldn't believe the incongruity of learning strong moral values in Bible class and yet this same school requiring the hepatitis vaccine. I'm pretty sure my girls were the only ones who did not visit the trailer sent form the health department to the campus of the school. Several students from those years subsequently developed "epilepsy." The level of ignorance is just astounding to me even in an educated and very religious community.
