Gardasil Side Effects: Blood Clots
Gardasil Blood Clots:
Gardasil, the much-touted vaccine against cervical cancer, might not be as safe as once thought. Judicial Watch has obtained documents that indicate that Gardasil may have been responsible for thousands of serious injuries, including blood clots and possibly several deaths. There have been several cases of blood clots reported after the administration of Gardasil. Blood clots may result in heart attack, stroke, or death.
What is a Blood Clot?
A clot forms when clotting factors in the blood cause it to coagulate or become a solid, jelly-like mass. When a blood clot forms inside a blood vessel (a thrombus), it can dislodge and travel through the bloodstream,causing a heart attack or stroke. The cause of blood clots can often be determined, but not always. Blood clots most often manifest as deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremity.
The cause of blood clots is often physiologic and related to medications, or trauma. Blood clots can occur in people with no specific risk factors. In these people the cause of blood clots can be related to genetic factors.
The most common genetic cause of blood cloths is factor V Leiden. Other genetic causes of blood clots include the prothrombin gene mutation, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, anti-thrombin III deficiency, and the MTHFR Gene mutation.
Acquired factors that can be the cause of blood clots include the lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibody.
