Teen vaccine houses unhealthy side effects
-OneNewNow
07/16/2008- A drug several states considered mandating for sixth-grade girls to help prevent cervical cancer is the subject of thousands of consumer complaints.
The manufacturer is standing by Gardasil, which has been named in 78,000 complaints to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because of side effects. Wendy Wright heads Concerned Women for America (CWFA). "We all know any drug, any vaccine can cause complications -- and before you require that an entire general population receive it, people should at least be aware of what kinds of complications could come from it," Wright contends.
Gardasil received a good deal of attention a couple of years ago when the FDA approved it as a vaccine against Human papillomavirus or HPV. The complications and side effects of the vaccine are nausea, blood clots, warts, paralysis, and even death.
"There needs to be research to see if there is a connection, but with that number of complaints and with so many of them being serious complaints, this ought to give pause to any legislator before he even considers mandating that every little girl get a shot of this vaccine," Wright adds. In one case, a youngster's health was good until 15 months ago when she received the final dose in a three-shot series. Soon thereafter she began experiencing a degenerative muscle disease, and now she is almost completely paralyzed.
"There's been concern that the HP vaccine will cause complications because it's only been selectively tested during the trial phase," Wright explains. "That's frankly what happens with nearly every drug or vaccine. That's why the efforts to mandate that this vaccine be given to every student, every girl in sixth-grade in order for her to attend school, was so outrageous." If you or a loved one have experienced serious side effects as a result of the Gardasil HPV vaccination such as blood clots, paralysis, seizures, or other Gardasil side effects, you may be entitled to compensation.
