Gardasil

From the Desk of Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton:
Judicial Watch Uncovers Shocking New FDA Documents Related
to Gardasil
Those of you who regularly read this column know
that Judicial Watch has taken the lead in exposing
the ugly truth about the dangerous side effects
associated with Gardasil, the vaccination for human
papillomavirus (HPV) currently being administered
to young girls.
Well this week, we released a special report
based on new "adverse event reports" and other
information obtained from the FDA under the Freedom
of Information Act. These reports document 10
reported deaths since September, 2007. (The total
number of death reports is at least 18 and as many as
20.) The FDA also produced 140 "serious" reports (27
of which were categorized as "life threatening"), 10
spontaneous abortions and six cases of Guillain-Barre
Syndrome - all since January 2008.
Here are a few excerpts from the documents
we uncovered. The rest can be read in our
report. (Warning: These descriptions get
very graphic.) a.. Information has been
received...concerning a 20 year old female with no
medical history reported, who on 01-APR-2008 was
vaccinated with a dose of Gardasil....The patient
died four days after...patient sought unspecified
medical attention. An autopsy was performed which
ruled out suicide and anything suspicious. The cause
of death is currently unknown. VAERS ID: 310262-1
(D) b.. Cold sweat, Fall, Foaming at mouth, Grand mal
convulsion, Immediate post-injection reaction. . .Pt
[patient, 14-year-old female] received vaccine,
took 6 steps, fell to the ground unconscious and
had a 60 sec grand mal seizure then regained
consciousness. [Blood pressure] after seizure
60/40 pale clammy skin. [Patient] had bit her
tongue and had foam around her mouth. VAERS ID:
305259-1 (S) c.. Information has been received
from a physician concerning a female patient who
on an unknown date was vaccinated with a dose of
Gardasil. Subsequently, the patient experienced
a coma and is now paralyzed. At the time of this
report, the patient's outcome was unknown.
VAERS ID: 303188-1
Would you allow your daughter to have this vaccine
when these are the potential consequences? I
know I wouldn't. If Merck has its way, however,
we might not have much of a choice. Merck had
been lobbying to have the vaccine mandated for
young girls and some politicians seemed willing
to oblige. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has already recommended that 11 and
12-year-old girls begin receiving the vaccine as
part of school vaccination efforts. (Following the
CDC's lead, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed an
executive order last year mandating the vaccine for
6th grade girls. Parent groups fought the mandate
and the mandate was rescinded.)
Moreover, according to a recent article in The
Washington Post, Merck plans to lobby the FDA
to approve the vaccination for young boys as
well. (Right now, the vaccination is approved for
girls/young women from ages 9 to 26. Just last week,
the FDA rejected Merck's attempt to expand the use
of the vaccination for women 27 and older. Merck
plans to reapply.)

Judicial Watch Needs You!
I trust, through these Updates, you realize the value
of Judicial Watch's good work against government
corruption and for the rule the law. Whether it
is battling illegal alien sanctuary policies in
court, holding to account shady politicians of
all political stripes, shining a light on our
government, or generally being your "watchdog" in
Washington -Judicial Watch is "the only the game
in town" for conservatives and other fair-minded
Americans who truly believe that "no one is above
the law." I know many of you already financially
support our work and for that I'm grateful. Each
day we rely upon the ongoing support of the American
people to continue our important work. To be blunt,
fundraising slows down in the summer for obvious
reasons, but our court cases and investigations
continue. And corruption never takes a holiday.
These are critical times: as politicians gun for
reelection or higher office this year, the watchdog
role of your Judicial Watch is essential.
I ask you to strengthen our cause and make a
financial contribution to Judicial Watch here.
Thank you in advance for your support, and I wish
you and yours a wonderful Fourth of July holiday.
Until next week...
Tom Fitton
